I’d be surprised if Bradford beat Carlisle bearing in mind that they (Bradford) were relegated from National League North in April …

Bradford (Park Avenue) FC - Bradford
Bradford City - Bradford City

Stuff City - Up The Avenue

Decent prison imo

I think some of our party found the inmates rattling the windows and lobbing rubbish around a bit off-putting

Near Caxias, just outside Lisbon.

Very near the stadium used for the 1967 European Cup Final and a rather charmless prison .

Cat 1 status was always provisional - in much the same way as a driving licence is usually the starting point for a progression to a full licence - it was a starting point for a journey to Cat 1 that hasn’t for whatever reason been completed. We were never awarded full Cat 1 status - the incentive w...

Ah. Indeed. I'd forgotten about that one. I really liked it at the time, I had one. Not so keen now. I think it could be nice still with some subtle gold to it. And proper gold like in the SU kit, not yellow

I liked it at the time I must admit ..

I think this could look quite nice with some gold trim. It'd have to be umbro diamond rather than a mitre obviously, but I reckon that would work

If you want gold or yellow trim then you need to look at 95/96 ? That one had gold/more of a deep yellow trim.

Don’t forget my friends, we (Burnley Civic Trust) hold hundreds of thousands of negatives from the Burnley Express editions, 1960’s to 90’s.

I hope they release it before the July holidays this year. They agree designs and place orders around August/September of the previous year, so whatever the strip looks like it was chosen months ago. And because our sales aren’t big enough (Man U/Arsenal/Liverpool levels), we’ll be choosing from a ...

All claret including socks for home, all navy blue & an all white as 3rd kit.

No

I’m not a fan. Our home socks should be white or claret and blue hoops. Likewise the shorts should always be white.

I take it we are getting claret socks then?

I’ve never liked the hooped socks .. I’d prefer White too but I’m not expecting to see much white on the new kit.

It’s been far too long since we had claret and blue hooped socks. Is it ten years since?

If I had my way, we’d always have them with the home kit.

What’s your view on plainish Claret ?

This was my first home game in that season. We got stuffed at home by Wolves 4 or 5 nil. Steve Kinden scored for them really early on I think

Those photos show how many great kits we've had recently but all ruined by the sponsor.

The green and black away strip from 1994(?) with endsleigh on it. Pretty vulgar but somehow really cool.

I liked that one .. I don’t expect to see it next season though or anything else controversial kit wise

My username is my job so I haven’t seen it myself - I don’t work there but as usual it will be released when the sponsorship is in place

If there was a “double like” option, you’d have got it for that suggestion.

Me too but I’m not sure how it would look with a sponsor these days

No thanks! You know I wasn’t a fan of this years kit, still not ‘my thing’ but it’s been a bloody success and I understand exactly why. We are, for once, (echoing one of spirals points here) ‘the cool club’ - and I therefore think any design should be one that’s gonna get eyeballs on it and purchas...

That Stoke game was the first game with Coyle in charge. I always thought that kit would have made a really good away kit.

The 'Argentina' kit was about 1995 I think. The Adidas away kits from that era were good - the yellow/claret one in the Waddle season too The true Argentina style kit was worn at home against Stoke in 2007-2008 .. for the 125 anniversary The white adidas kit with sky fading stripes was worn in 1996...

AFC very unlucky not to get promoted this season they had to play a crazy amount of fixtures late on .With a few £ they could have walked the NPL 1 . Still it’s good to see football back at GL .
