I believe he has no intention to sell, he hasn't got the money to show proof of funds to the EFL, they are aware he is a blagger but they can't remove him. The PFA have been paying towards the players wages and the FL paying other staff. He hasn't paid wages and has control of any monies into the c...

Never thought there would be footage of that game.

No, he was one of the panic but strikers signed earlie in the season.

Must admit that my guess was Bury but couldn’t think when we’d played them. And I was at the game.

£3m to pay off the debts leaving him with a £1,999,999 profit for the "work he has put in"

Apparently so. I’d love to know what work he’s put in.

Every chance of them at least being relegated into non league. We could well have played there for the last time.

I’d agree that he appears happy for the club to shut down although I think he’d move if someone offered him a big enough profit.

Any body got a pic of Burnley v New Brighton fav 1957. We played in navy shirts which I think is the only time ever. I remember when Burnley took to the field nobody cheered as they thought it was New Brighton. Still a mystery why we played in Navy Was before my time but back then both teams would ...

James Clarke, one of the young players we released last season, got a late Football League debut last night.

The best one was in 1973-74 in the FA Cup. Burnley fans swept across the pitch and took the Chaddy End over. Closely followed by the Anglo-Scottish Cup final in very late 1978. We went two up in a minute in icy conditions. Both games ended in 4-1 victories. There were pieces in the national papers ...

Ha ha - January 1995 although it was also cold at Portsmouth, I recall, sat out in the open end in the 2000/01 season. I've had more than my fair share of cold days at Oldham though.

[quote-although a Swansea fan, he does care about our club. probably less-so since we wouldn't allow him to be accompanied by both his grandchildren (one with Burnley shirt/one with Swansea shirt) when he was asked to do the half-time draw in 2017 think he refused to appear because of the petty att...

Is it not more a case of where the players settle rather than like true fans eg myself and Ashington Claret and many more doing a lot of miles to get to the Turf because we supported the club as kids and lived in or near the Town?.

Seems the prospective buyer is Norman Smurthwaite who has just left Port Vale. I don’t think you would find a Vale fan with a good word for him.

Definitely '73/'74 in the pic in post #185. Take a look at the youtube of Noble scoring in post #191. He's wearing No.7 and short sleeves. In the pic he's wearing long sleeves and he wore No.2 at Arsenal that season. Wasn’t referring to the YouTube but the pic. No way as I can see of determining wh...

Wonderful - and what are power rankings?

Think it was 1-1 with a Brady own goal giving us a point. Remember the first away game of that '73/'74 season at Sheff Utd when we ran out in that kit. It was quite a shock to the system as we'd only been used to a white alternative shirt in previous seasons. On the subject of kits I see we're wear...

It's a shame Eddie didn't have the professional understanding and patience of Keith's problems as obviously Sean did. I really hope Keith can get back into the game.

There's a couple mentioned on the thread who were born Clarets - Brian Miller and Ashley Hoskin - and continued that support after leaving the club.

Brian continued to go on the Turf until he was taken ill and Ashley still goes on and has travelled to away games in recent years.
