Used to love watching Billy Hamilton play for us with is ungainly walk you would never think he could play football,lovely man and a great footballer.

I wonder what he's up to these days.....anyone?

I was hoping that this thread might contain details of the new Bob Lord stand proposals for a another tier

He ran a trophy centre in Northern Ireland and then moved to Canada. Wasn’t there long and is back home in the Emerald Isle.

No Brian O'Neil.

Brian O'Neil would have been in the last group which went on the Jimmy Mac Stand. They were Irvine, Coates, Casper, Dobson, James and Noble. I voted for Brian but he was eighth in that group behind Lochhead. So not sure why Trevor Steven is considered controversial.

No 4 today - Oooh David Eyres

You don't have to take things too serious, the smiley at the end was put there for a reason.

Maybe you can't remember the discussion on here when the players were chosen.

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 4:08 pm**

They weren't actually chosen, they were voted for. They will never agree with anyone totally but they were those with the most votes.

Looking brilliant again - any news on it the little lights could be added to them for the nighttime?

Would look quality, especially with it going dark earlier now again.

It's worth considering - a number of other things being looked at. Would have to consider the cost too I would think.

One Wembley goalscorer followed by another - it's Gary Parkinson

I know.

Chosen is the past tense of choose. We had a list of players to choose from, Trevor Steven among others were chosen the most.

Any road, enough of this tedious episode, I'm looking forward to seeing them tomorrow.

No idea but there is going to be a pic of Joe Neenan in one of the gents toilets in the Longside.
Any suggestions for others welcome

Big thanks to whoever it was on the old message board who came up with this idea and to:

Adam Riding from the club who has done all the design
Aaron Diggle from Creation Signs who have made the boards and installed them
All the sponsors without whom we would not have been able to do this

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:00 pm**

I think it's a real shame that the claret and blue used is way, way off what it should be.

It's almost as though the person who's done it converted the pictures to black and white and then re-coloured them, rather than keeping the original colour.

Either that or they've never seen a Burnley shirt.

Your opinion - I think they look fantastic.

Joe will look great in the gents with his P green shirt on

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:40 pm**

What a cracking set chosen to represent our Club, very impressed with that and looking forward to seeing them tomorrow.

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:54 pm**

Great addition to the ground.

I'm sure they'll fuel many a discussion amongst fans too

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:04 pm**

I think they look brilliant, well done to all those involved. Can't wait to see Tom, Joey et al in a few years on the back of our fifth stand when FA get round to having us play on pentagon pitches for the burgeoning Chinese market.

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:05 pm**

Ian Britton's face says it all.
Brilliant

Amazing how things have changed since the vote in August 2015 when we were starting our Championship season. Now we have players who really should be on and will surely be included in any phase 4 we can do.

They look great, I will have come up an hour earlier tomorrow so I can have a better look at them.

Congratulations to whoever proposed this great idea.

For the life of me I can't remember who it was but he suggested having a picture by each turnstile. That couldn't quite be done but it was that idea which led to what's been done.

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:41 pm**

I see we've managed to get one of Trippier with his thumbs up.

Difficult not to.

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:53 pm**

I’ll have a wander round there tomorrow, they look good on here

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:56 pm**

These are brilliant. Thanks to everyone involved in sorting it out. Must have been a lot of hard work but I enjoy them every time I come to the ground.

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 7:02 pm**

Looking at them I'm convinced that what ever changes or little tweaks are made to the shirt each season. Claret and blue are bloody fine colours!

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 7:21 pm**

Brilliant, love them.....the ONLY reservation is that I’m old enough to have seen them all play and they fall in to the category of legends!

The shirt Trevor S is wearing, I wore the yellow version to the Milk Cup semi, and The World Cup in 82 v France when I was 20.........still got it in my box of shirts, cant get it over my head now let alone my belly!

Think I’ll go and Ava beer........

Great pictures of some of our wonderful players.
Slightly disappointed that my favourite ever Claret, Brian O'Neil didn't make the cut so to speak.
Anyone fancy signing my petition?

Posted: **Fri Oct 13, 2017 7:52 pm**

It was a pleasure carrying out this job for the supporters.
Most of our work at the turf is carried out for sponsors or the club itself so it was great to get involved with something fan based.
Thanks to Tony, Chris, Adam and anyone else involved in the project. It's looking fantastic so well done all.

Put my name down on the petition Juan.
Brian O'Neil was one of the greatest players ever to wear a Burnley shirt.

They look excellent

Is there any room left for a possible phase 4 in the future?
