[Archived] A Break With Tradition

[Gav]

As most will know I have nothing but distain for all things claret and blue, but with a poke in the eye and kick in the shin from my colleagues at work, I felt I should share this with you:

Burnley have sold 6100 tickets for the away game at Chelsea in the carling cup

Now I understand this is the biggest game in living memory for the t*****s down the M65, apart from the games against us, but lets face it, that is a great following for a midweek game........tickets are cheap at £15 but still a great following.

LETS HOPE THE T***S GET STUFFED!

COME ON CHELSEA

[Billy Castell]

I'm in a minority here, but I wouldn't mind Burnley getting promoted. Would be good to play them, beat them, and see them relegated.

No way, I'd rather have them below us so they don't have the chance to nick a wun against us.

The headteacher at the school I work at has given some of the kids the day off so they can go down, think I'll ask for the day off to go to sunderland!!

Billy,

In one of the very few recorded examples of an internet discussion ever changing anyone's opinion Gav actually did it to me.

He pointed out that if Burnley got promoted then they would be eligible for lots of TV money and even if they were relegated straight away they would be eligiblr for the "parachute fund" which might just help them scramble back.

Like you, I thought the idea of Burnley getting promoted & humiliated was a good one.

Gav had the answer. I changed my mind.

[thebigguy]

Only reason i would love burnley getting promoted is us sending the ###### back down

also only them could get promoted when the money pot for the tv business be running dry and they wont pay as much for a game in a couple of years

[cletus]

I`d rather th retards up the road get relegated, go into administration, fold & collapse........then maybe we could find some worthy rivals

[rover6]

And I wish Burnley all the best and hope that the vicious rivalry between us and them which legitimises the thugs and arrogants on both side, gives way to a respectful rivalry.

Chances are slim but I can hope.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I have to agree that I would much rather see a 'respecful rivalry' rather than a violent one,we all saw the nasty outcome of that at yesterdays North East free for all!

Its the main topic of discussion at the moment on the Clarrotts boards this world beating 6,000 following to the bright lights of the capital.......I do believe they had around 700 at Charlton yesterday.

O f course they know plenty about parachutes over there!

Are you nuts? And if the reverse should apply?

In any fight if you get your opponent down on the floor then bloody well keep him there! If you let him get up there's a 50:50 chance you'll be next on the deck getting a good kicking.

[1864roverite]

Can I suggest that we form a firing squad or a public flogging for the author of this thread

I sincerely hope the trolls get a seriously big hiding in London despite 6100 brothers and sisters heading to the capital for the game.

On the other side, if they could win and we beat Sunderland, it would be nice to play them at Ewood instead of Chelsea.

I remember when I was at saint augustines and we were playing sheffield wednesday in the carling cup semi, we got to leave early too, schools are class!

Can I ask where you live, and why u support rovers?

[Billy Castell]

Oh here we go. I'm a bigger fan because I beat up 1,000 Burnley fans, live next door to Ewood and walk my whippet down t'cobbled road.

[blue phil]

COME ON CHELSEA

From our point of view it would be nice to see Chelsea out of the cup .

Let the Dingles have their moment of glory . It might even bugger up their play off chances

[Ossydave]

Haha. I salute you.

Nature will take its course, and they'll sink like a stone as they do every season once the winter sets in.

COME ON CHELSEA, never mind giving burnley any moments of glory.......

[Claytons Left Boot]

Can I ask where you live, and why u support rovers?

You won't get a reply. I tried asking a similar question a while back.

From his post I would say a fair distance from East Lancs.

I hope they get a complete drubbing............and I hope the team get stuffed also.

[Ossydave]

Haha. I salute you.

Its quite a simple question.

I'm not claiming to be a super fan, I live within minutes of Ewood but don't go anymore.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

The Dingles are going to Chelsea wearing flat caps, as modelled by Zak Dingle.

[SamDingle]

It's been a while since I've read this board.

The last time I was here, I faintly remember Gav as being an Dingle hating, eyes-bulging B*****d who'd glory in every misfortune which came our way.

And then I come back to this 'oh well done on your marvellous ticket sales chaps'.. What is happening to our game? It's enough to make me weep.

I still hate you all, your town and your vile little club, by the way.

Cheers Sam. Sanity prevails, hate you too...with a passion.
