Whenever we had to cross the Pennines. Bizarre,I know, but anywhere in North and East Yorkshire, East Midlands, Lincolnshire etc. Just never expected to get much and too often was right sadly.

Not surprising Wolves is a constant mention - just looked it up- we lost 11 on the trot from 1987!

Nobody saying Watford between 2002-2017? I'm genuinely scared of and scarred from Vicarage Rd.

It remains my ultimate bogey ground. 2-0 in the FA Cup, being 2-1 at HT in March 12 and losing 3-2 FT (it was a family members birthday so I remember it well). Also Jeff Henricks debut getting sent off after 10 mins and being 2-0 down at HT.

At home we got beat 7-4 (!!!!), 3-2, 3-1, 4-1 over a period of a few years in the mid naughties.

The worst thing was that we were always pretty equally matched team wise.

Celtic! The terror of Turf Moor will for ever haunt me. The worst 'football hooliganism' ever seen in Lancashire with metal posts being ripped out of concrete and hurled like missiles, whisky bottles flying in all directions, lots of panic etc. 16,000 Celtic 'fans', Burnley scarves all hidden. I'm not exaggerating, as anyone who was there will confirm.

You might want to check our head to head record against Watford ;)

Since the year 2000 we've beaten them six times at Vicarage Road but they've only won twice at the Turf over the same period ...

I said my bogey ground as I was at all 3 defeats that mentioned at Vicarage Rd. Apart from the 4-1 loss at home which I got the wrong way, my stats still stand. Awful lot of draws as well.

Was it your era, Kate? I like the notion of being part of a time but not the notion of living outmoded and unwanted.
