We used to go out and fight week in and week out for fun, but now you're looking at 5 years inside for even attempting to have a go....everybody grew up and grew out of it! And as the years past it became a thing of memory.....Burnley fans in today's era are too young to remember, happy clappers, families and people beaten into submission.....

As for "understanding", really? Don't try and over-complicate it.

Don't try and patronise me with any "that's how it was ********" as if you had no choice.

This is how it was back then, like it or not it was part of our history
