[Archived] A Break With Tradition

[67splitscreen]

Not to be picky but fact, Burnley to Bradford 47km, Blackburn to Everton/Liverpool 60km, these are the shortest routes, IE. A roads.

I enjoyed your post all the same.

Oh how bitter some of you are sounding. In your shadow? Not sure I agree but if we are then its been for what, 25 years? You were in ours for around 60 years - what goes around comes around my blue and white friends.

And Burnley fans tell us to stop living in the past.... I'm sure you remember it well

[No Nay Never]

Oh I do love that quote - always gets the Rovers blood boiling. Actually the stuff about Bob lord voting Accy out of the league is rubbish - read the full true history and you will see that. Colne Dynamoes never got crowds comparable with Burnley.

If we get up I hope we don't even try to compete with the silly money signings but as for 7000 being our top earner, another fact pulled from that pie in the Sky

Like yourselves, certainly not since Methuselah was a lad.

Put it this way when Colne Dynamoes won the Northern Premier ( step below conference ) there average gate was around the 1300 mark.

The same season your average attendance was 6,260..

In your darker days of 1987 your average was 3,342

Now I think putting that into perspective had Colne been allowed to step up to the conference and then made the league... You would have been talking the same sort of gates at Colne as at Burnley ?? Also remembering a lot of Burnley fans were disheartened with the side at that time. I think Burnley had every reason to want Colne to "cease to exist" ?

If attendances are wrong they were taken from this site http://www.european-football-statistics.co...tnclub/burn.htm

I have the exact records of attendences from which I will post later this evening, as for the Accy Stanley issue, Bob Lord had the casting vote as Chairman of the football league, TRUE. Ask the Stanley fans and the full page article last year in the daily press confirms.

Absolutely no point in stating facts to a burnley fan, they only deal in fiction and most sentences usually start:

“If we………”

Seriously though, who gives a f**k?

On a more fabulous note, I got my Wembley tickets in the post today. I'm all giddy with anticipation.

Living where I do I know a lot of Burnley fans, and the funny thing is not once have I heard one of them contemplate defeat, in fact the only one was longsiders1882 on here, so I take my hat off for that. Talk about setting yourselves up for a fall.

Secretly you must love our company! Well done for you. I've got my ticket for the last PREMIERSHIP game of the season. Somewhere you can only dream of being.

Can't admin just ban all the Dingles on the grounds of them being pathetic WUMs?

They've already started organising the victory parade.

Seriously!

[No Nay Never]

Seriously!

Yeah I have seen that in the paper haha, Ohhhh how I would love them to fall, just a shame James Beattie ain't still a blade to bag the winner!

Seriously!

I hope Sheff Utd have been made aware of this.

[SamDingle]

You're a simple race aren't you, over there.

Sheff Utd have organised one too. So have Millwall and Scunthorpe. And Gillingham and MK Dons.

I could explain why, if the penny still hasn't dropped. Good grief.

He says we are a simple race theres no shame in Burnley and judging by the look of them today no mirrors either.

[cletus]

The Dingles have one chance, & one chance only of getting promotion to the prem.

Rumours up in Sconny Botland are saying Gordon Strachan is into his last days of his Celtic reign......& Celtic are looking at Owen Coyle to replace him.

I think if Burnley fail on Monday, the lure of the big time in Glasgow might be too much.

Failing that, i`m sure other premier league chairmen will be watching with great interest.

God i hope they get beat!

UP THE BLADES!!!!!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

As a journalist once famously said, we are, after all a real football town unlike Blackburn.

The big question here Longsider is how could anyone who knows anything about football be so mind numbingly stupid enough to believe the above statement?

I do believe some of our posters have you and Samuel riled and up against the ropes 'owd chap!!

[philipl]

Total win win for Rovers fans on Monday.

Huge hilarity if the dingles lose, six points in the bag next season if they don't.

[roversmum]

six points and a smashed up stadium, Philip

[Blue n White Rover]

six points and a smashed up stadium, Philip

I'm sure we can return the favour

[roversmum]

I would hope we'd have more class than that...

[67splitscreen]

We have roversmum but this is no time for turning the other cheek Im afraid.

Scores have to be settled, like another 2-0 and 5-0.
