Stoke. Coyle’s first game in charge.

Very strange that we celebrated our century season in 1981/82 but the 125th in 2007/08

We celebrated the Millenium in 2000 but should have been 2001 (there was no year 0 )

not relevant though - Burnley FC celebrated it's 125th anniversary season some 26 years after its centenary

I think it depends on the calendar year or the season played. It's lost consistency over the years, but not worth another dig at the club for.

No one was having a dig but I don’t understand your response. Simple fact is we celebrated 100 & 125 some 26 years apart. We held the centenary year correctly in the 100th year while we held the 125th in the season after the anniversary which the club admitted was incorrect.

i know it's o/t but that's not why the millenium was really in 2001 (there was a year 0).

it's because the 2000th year had to be completed before we could say 2 millenia. the completion of 2000 years is the beginning of 2001.

sorry to be a smart arse.

It was like that in the Army with the 24 hour clock. No such time as 0000. Its was either 2359 or 0001.

well i think the calendar was retroactively applied but no.

think about it. we start at the beginning of the year zero and on new years eve of that year we celebrate an anniversary of one year. so we celebrate 100 years (the century) on new years eve in the year 100. therefore we celebrate the anniversary of the first millenium on new years eve the year 1000 and so on.

and yeah pedantry is wonderful.

and midnight military time is indeed 0000.

What are these shirts going for,and were they a limited edition?

I was asking as I was looking to see if there are any pictures of us actually playing in it on the web anywhere. I can’t find any apart from the program from the game with Aki on the front wearing it.

I've got Robbie Blake's match worn shirt from that game somewhere in a shoe box around here. Along with Jay's boots, Andy Gray's shirt and a few others. I think I've got Tony Grant's Yellow and Black shirt from whatever anniversary that was (I think it's a Yellow and Black one anyway)

Wasn’t that when we for some reason decided to celebrate the 120th anniversary in 2002-03

Appears to be so - yes.

I liked the away kit from that season with 125 year badge and gold trim. Still wear it for 5-a-side.

To be fair it’s not Bosscat but the editors of Wikipedia that are the smartarses in this instance.

The pictures will no doubt appear during the ‘Spot the ball’ comp
