Had a period in the early 80s John Bond/ Benson period.Young family and didnt like what was being served up.Unfortunately have had to give up season ticket from next season due to failing eyesight.The LED screens round the ground at night cause me a problem and last year there were so many night mat...

Went to the Wrexham game but missed the Villa game.The wife wouldnt let me go.Mind you we only got married at 12.00 that day.

Born in Lumb in 49.Went watching Rossendale United as a kid and then my Grandad(big Bury fan)and my dad who had no real allegiance took me to Bury a few times.My dad who was a friend of Bob Paisley,from the 2nd world war,took me to Burnley whenever Burnley played Blackpool late 50s.Saw Stanley Matth...

Wont be going to a lot more now as I have given up my season ticket from next season.I have sight problems and the night matches plus LED screen make it difficult for me to see the match clearly.

Jimscho

I have been going since late 50s but missed a couple of seasons when John Bond was manager.Used to go to away matches more years ago.Would think I have seen us a minimum of 1500 times.

When I was a young teenager(now75)myself and 2 mates went to an open training session at Gawthorpe.We got off the bus and we were walking down the drive.A car pulled up and a Geordie voice said get in lads,which we did.It was Harry Potts,he asked us who we played for and a few other questions.Sadly ...

I alsho meant to say I rarely missed a Central league game.

Jimscho

Loved the central league in the 70’s. I wasn’t allowed to go to away games, to young. But I was allowed to go to Turf Moor with my mate for reserves games. Bus from Ramsbottom, 264 I think, Bolton to Burnley bus. Then got to stand, we’ll run around the Longside. It was all like a big adventure for ...

Who is going to score 10 goals for us thus season ?

People were asking that last season and we scored 87 from all over the squad.

Jimscho

What was he on before?

Jimscho

When Jimmy decides he is going to call it a day I am sure he will be called up for a Test so he can do it in style.The DFS sale may have ended by then.

Jimscho

Think some have got to realise Bazball is here to stay as long asStokes is captain.We are not going to play any differently.Much rather watch it than they way Australia batted firstinnings.I turned it off after a while it was so boring.

Walking through Brussels and hear, “this way Howard” so turn round and my brother is stood there. He has flown in from Brisbane to see my dad and I.

Perhaps we should recall McNally and sell him elsewhere

Recall him from where?He isnt on loan is he?

Anubody who hasnt enjoyed the last 3 tests and the tests since Stokes became captain should go back to watching paint dry.I accept the cricket is not for the purist but its fun,its exciting and its putting bums on seats.Those criticising cricketers getting out through bad shot selection thats true b...

You clearly haven't been reading this thread very closely. I said earlier that it's time people stopped knocking Trafford. That said, I'm just being honest when I said he nearly cost us a goal. Credit when it's due, but ignoring errors doesn't help someone to improve. I'm quite sure the England coa...

If it is W88 and the name on the shirt is like it was on Fulham’s shirt last year,a big W with w88 underneath,then Wout will probably stay as his initials will be on the shirt.

Jimscho

Playing traditional cricket trying not to lose was like watching paint dry.I once went to a roses match at Old Trafford and watched John Hampshire and Geoff Boycott score 1 run in an hour.With this new style England are playing there will be results in most games.Which would I rather watch?Well done...

Some years ago,I can’t remember the year,Hudson and Pearson of Loveclough area sponsered a match at Burnley.Brian O’neil was to do the half time draw so H and P and BFC arranged as surprise meal for Brian in the Bob Lord stand.Many of his ex colleagues were there such as Elder,Blacklaw Lochead ,Irvi...

One name I can think of is Wilf Wrigley who was centre half on the youth cup winning team.

No it wasnt Wilf Wrigley.One day I will remember.It’s my age

And both were sent home as losers that day. We drew with Clitheroe 1.1 the day I played.I am a year younger than Dobbo but I played for our 1st eleven when I was in lower 6th form.Maybe Barry Kilby played that day as well.There was another future Burnley player I am sure but memory not as good thes...

I once played cricket for the school at Clitheroe probably in my second year. We finished quickly and had to watch the first eleven. Someone got a big score for them and it was Dobbo. The day I played against Clitheroe Grammar I am sure a future Burnley player was in their team but can’t remember w...

You actually need to stop. Normal decent people sit in that stand professionals with high paying jobs who have never taken drugs in their life, they dont sing fast they chant at a pace that chants are supposed to be sung at high tempo to increase player adrenaline.
