My mate found this …
Under an old bath whilst he was working, way before my time but might be of interest to some on here, 45 years old.

Re: My mate found this …
I see B'stards home attendances haven't changed much in 45 yrs at this level

Re: My mate found this …
Did we get relegated that year?
Re: My mate found this …
No because we finished mid table the following season Looks odd seeing a team win the League with 58 points

Re: My mate found this …
Interesting that the massive London club Chelsea had a gate of only 22k

Re: My mate found this …
A lot of ex-clarets on there in fact - Alan Taylor, Geoff Nulty, Dobbo, Ian Britton, Neil Whatmore, Rocket Ron, Steve Daley - any more...?!
Re: My mate found this …
We didn’t get relegated until 79/80, although it had been coming for a while!

Re: My mate found this …
I'm fairly sure that was the season we really struggled over the first half and looked somewhat doomed, but came to late on and suddenly went on a good run which led to survival. The year after when we finished mid table as someone has shown might have been the one which started similarly poorly, but Kindon suddenly arrived back a few months in (no transfer windows then) and we started firing.

The two home attendances on either side of that Southampton defeat were Hereford 8,748 and Carlisle 10,834.ArthurShelby wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 12:19 pmWhat sort of attendances did we get back then ? Only 11k at Ewood, somethings never change
After the purple patch in the early 1970's interest was certainly on the wane as the downward slide set in, although we actually finished that season in 16th position. Scoring goals was proving difficult and we only managed 46 all season with Peter Noble and Malcolm Smith contributing 24 of those between them.
Re: My mate found this …
Oh they did though. They were down at @5000 before JW sprayed them with cash. My cousin played for them and he said they could hardly afford the electric bill at one point. So some things don't change!!!
Re: My mate found this …
I didn't think Charlie Austin was that old!!!

Re: My mate found this …
That happened in 1977/78; no relegation struggle the year after; relegation the next season. Little did we know what was in store for us.Dark Cloud wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 12:36 pmI'm fairly sure that was the season we really struggled over the first half and looked somewhat doomed, but came to late on and suddenly went on a good run which led to survival.

Re: My mate found this …
Chelsea picked up under Bates, to about a Leeds level now. Putin’s puppet propelled them to the top table… and the fans came out of the woodwork, as ‘fans’ do… though they’ve all been among the stalwarts, when asked.Volvoclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 12:30 pmInteresting that the massive London club Chelsea had a gate of only 22k

Re: My mate found this …
Hereford, Plymouth Carlisle relegated; Clarets 16th but only 2 points above the 3rd bottom club, Orient & Cardiff (19th & 18th) escaped on goal difference.
Wolves, Chelsea & Forest (in that order) were top 3. Forest went on to win Division one the season after (that Clough fellow).
Re: My mate found this …
Wasn't Malcolm Smith the one who looked great as a goal scorer whilst on loan only for it to fall to pieces once he'd signed permanently?Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 1:08 pmThe two home attendances on either side of that Southampton defeat were Hereford 8,748 and Carlisle 10,834.
