Re: Taffy
So sorry to hear this. My first sporting hero when I was a kid and first started watching Burnley. I had my Grandma sew the number 11 on my first Burnley shirt in his honour. I guess it's a sign of getting older yourself when your heroes pass away. I will be raising a glass later this evening.

Taffy for me too. I would have been 9 in 1975. I had my grandma sew a number 11 onto my 1st Burnley shirt the year before. My first sporting hero. I was even more upset when he scored against us for Derby on the turf in our last season in the old 1st division.

I’ve always been a big fan of Def Leppard since first seeing them live at King George’s Hall in 1980. To this day their first album On Through The Night remains my favourite and most played rock album. Raw, undercooked music that I can really relate to.

I think after the match could be the bigger problem. The lights are a bottleneck at the best of times and can be queued back to Towneley gates post match. As someone has posted above, if these were manually controlled the traffic could be cleared much quicker.
