...to our poor neighbours down the M65 in their hour of need? In their hour of raw and excruciating pain.
No, thought not.
Me neither

Perhaps we could offer them Graham Branch.

Invite them to start supporting Burnley instead. If we can get all of them to come over, we could increase the stadium size then.

Wrong bird for the picture.
Needs to be a cross between an eagle and a crow.

I'm sure some Glory Hunters will jump ship but, do we really want them?!

Dove of peace?
The Venkys would probably cook it and eat it.

Don't forget Saxo is first on the invitation list - and very welcome.

Absolutely not as they are still being arrogant.
The Chicken contingent in my work had a pre-prepared defence ready for my entrance today.
In summary their rather limp defence is 'In my lifetime I've seen R***rs win the Premier and a cup, I wouldn't swap that for supporting PNE or Burnley who have achieved nothing'
I have retained a dignified silence on a plinth of smugness.

You're joking, right?
We have enough retards of our own without bringing in one in a blue and white halved shirt

Being serious for a sec, I'd take them as a feeder club.
Imagine how that would go down with them.

Hi RCC, no joke, honest! I've been inviting Saxo to join us as a claret for a long time. Surely, with all the time he spends on here, he is telling us (and himself) that he wants to join us.
The more Clarets fans the better. Imagine when the world knows Burnley as the team of northern Lancashire (plus more from over the Yarksheer border...). A large catchment area - and still the same fan loyalty as we achieve today.

They are deluding themselves. If somebody said to me you could either take Burnley as they are now or win the league once and a cup under a rich benefactor but face an uncertain future after that only a bastards fan would choose the latter. It's a price that wasn't worth paying for them. They sold their soul. Now they are paying.

What I'd like to see extended is the bucket-arm of a JCB as it tears the
Rivershed down.

Thought that was the reason for their relegation!

Where is Saxo anyway these days? I saw a campaign to get him off here and I've never seen any posts from him since.

May 1991 that banner flew overt' Turf and we didn't make it up that year.
26 years later we are top tier they are third. Feck em, every one of em.
They can choke on my left bollock.

He was posting yesterday - after and perhaps during the game at Brentford. I'm sure he needs a hug today - just like many of our friends a little west of Burnley.

They are doing better than we did after our title win. It took us only 20 years to drop into level 3 - and only another 7 to almost drop out of the whole Football League. Did we get any sympathy from them then? Thought not.

With regards to that 1991 banner. Did it genuinely come as a surprise at the time? Or was there talk of it happening prior to the game?

I know exactly who payed the £200 ( I think that was the cost) An auto electrician from Oswaldtwistle who I won`t name & Simon (Wovers) Garner.
A few days later Garners boutique in Cherry Tree was burned out!

Choke on my left bollock and plinth of smugness are two of my favourite posts this season! Can they be combined in one tattoo? We can extend the olive branch when Garner apologises for the plane banner. At Turf Moor. On the centre circle at half time. On his knees
