Crewe posted a poll this morning on Twitter relating to an incoming signing.

The poll was entitled Fancy some transfer business this lunch-time? and had three options:

1. Go on then, why not
2. Omg yes, get in!!
3. Nah, you're alright

Option 3 got 53% of the vote.

They did make a loan signing though.

I can remember going to Crewe one season and getting tonked. Possibly the season 88/89. Possibly 4-1 or 4-0. Those were the days!!!!!! Crewe were streets ahead of us.

It was the last away game of the 1988/89 season - ended 4-0. We were good back then though.

Thought it was towards the end of the season as I vaguely recollect it being a beautiful day, weather-wise. Almost 29 years ago...geez!!!!!!!

Tuesday evening game - they won promotion that season I think.

Went on the Supporters Club Coach - you were probably on it too Tony!

Almost certainly would have been on the coach in that season - they did win promotion, with Rotherham, Tranmere and Leyton Orient while we ended the season in 16th place.

Only seen us play at Crewe once, can't even remember the year.

It was that game when one of the Crewe players who wore some kind of bandana thing(Sodje?) was almost in tears as he was getting loads of stick from the Burnley fans who were chanting "he's got a tea towel on his head" throughout the match

I`m trying to recall who those three teams top scorers were that season. I feel I should remember Rotherham and Tranmere`s. I`m loathed to be brain bone idle and google it.

Ummmmmmmmm........Ian Muir? Bobby **********?

Gareth Taylor scored a penalty after cries from the Burnley fans of 'you can't take this with your head Taylor'.

I was at the Turf when we turned out backs to the pitch in protest and I'm pretty sure that was against Crewe

Was that the game that Chris Pierce and George Oghani were missing after a little argument

I can't remember the year, but I remember a young Neil Lennon having an unbelievable game against us in a draw (I think). He stood out a mile.

My only visit to Crewe was in the Autowindscreen trophy when Nogan scored our first (& only?) golden goal

My visit was around 2004/5, drew 1-1, think we had Peter whittingham on loan. The floodlights failed and my non Burnley supporting mate came along. He was not enjoying it when the game was delayed as he was feeling ill. Turns out he got mumps! We should have won from memory

I suspect twitter users who aren't Crewe fans may have clicked the 3rd link.

Williamson

Only been once, in the season we were leading at Christmas under Stan. I recall we had a terrible run in the new year but retrieved some dignity with a 2-1 win, dont recall who scored but remember the fantastic state of the art stand were in.

I remember being really impressed with Robbie Savage down there one year and their goalkeeper having a pineapple on his head. Pretty sure we lost that one.

Didn't he have a really good game in the 1-0 back to the pitch game in 1996, not long before he went to Leicester?

Had to google Leyton orients as it's been bugging me all day. Kicking myself now.
First name Ian ......

I remember the game of four penalties, was it two each? Think we missed one and lost 4-2 in a Stan classic.

They got two pens in the first half and we got two in the second half. They scored both their pens, John Mullin missed but Paul Cook scored our second. We lost 4-2 and Dean Ashton scored their last, his first goal in football. Anthony Shandran got a debut as a sub for us and Stan said after the game that his first start wasn't far away.

It was played 17 years ago next Saturday and Shandran is still to make his next appearance for us.

He was mates with a lad down the street and I once beat him at cuppies. I knew then that start would never happen
