[Archived] Burnley Home Game

[Gav]

It's surprising who's who on here ins't it...

I know, we could get a reet mob up

[unsall]

There will be 50-60 coaches leaving the dingledome at around 9-30am. That means the first coach leaving at 9-30, the last of the convoy leaving an hour or so later. the coaches will be escorted from dingletown all the way to Ewood. this will mean the last coaches will get to the ground around an hour before kick off.

All pubs around the ground and the town centre are to be closed. there are also some pubs in Oswaldtwistle been asked to close by the police.

The big derby games you mention above have been played season after season and the fans are used to it, if both Rovers and dingles play in the same league next year then it will not be as bad.

I think you'll find a lot of people in their late 30's and 40's coming out of the woodwork for this one. I'd rather bump into the younger lot to be honest!

If the last coach sets off at 1030 they will arrive two hours before kick off.....

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Depends how slow they go really. I suppose having the boys in blue driving along at 15mph in front of them might slow it down a bit. I'd also be surprised if they didn't take a detour to avoid getting bricked.

[waggy]

the way i've read things is that the dingles are getting 3k tickets,and only rovers fans who have season tickets can go in the darwen end,that means there will be about 3,600 -3,800 in the darwen end.to me this is stupid surely we would be better giving the darwen end to the dingles,and gaurateeing a sell out crowd.

[CrazyIvan]

Which has upset our 6 fingered cousins by the sounds of things....

They do like to get upset about nothing don't they? Talk about inferiority complex...

Waggy, do you have a random smillie generator because they rarely actually relate to what you type...

It will take them a lot longer than 30mins to get to Ewood. It took us well over an hour to get back from the dingledome last time we played them.

There seems to be a parallel universe where coaches get bricked, women and children are attacked in the street and martial law is declared 48 hours either side of kick-off. This world is inhabited by the police, safety officers at Deadwood and the Turf, Gav, Mr Unlucky Morton and spotty 13 year olds throughout East Lancs.

Then there's the other one, where you can just drive to the game, be sensible, and watch the match while hurling some insults. This is the one I remember from last time and the one before but it seems to have evaporated in the space of 4 years.

I think some people are being ironic...

No, I don't think anything has evaporated in the space of 4 years. You could say that West Ham and Millwall have brought the threat of football related violence into sharp focus so the police and the authorities are making sure nothing can happen. The truth is that very little would anyway but could you imagine what the press would make of it if something untoward happened? No doubt the darlings of the East End would have the press jumping up and saying that football related violence is a northern disease and West Ham were followers in the merry-go-round of thuggery thus absolving them of any wrong-doing... They'd make out that little old Blackburn and Burnley are at the heart of the hooligan empire. Or am I being too cynical?

From a Burnley fan on another Rovers board, his own insight to the aftermath of the game at the turf.

I'm not defending the idiots or anything and in fact my girlfriend at the time had her head bust open by a bottle when we were walking through the centre. The trouble started with the police and their very very very heavy handed tactics. The street (Yorkshire Street) leading from the ground to the town centre was packed solid with traffic, fans and police including dozens of horses and riot vans.

The police were just hitting people and pushing them in the back to make them move quicker. The problem was they kept pushing and with it being so busy people were being pinned against walls and cars etc. Many were being knocked to the floor and trampled on which only got other people angry at the treatment we were receiving. Again not backing the idiots or blaming anybody that lost their temper because the police were at fault and I believe it was through fear of what might happen that they tried to show such force. It was not just a case of smashing up the town. Many people were scared to death being in that crowd and had no intentions of trouble, but what happens when you are backed into a corner? I think many people went into self preservation mode. I was personally dropped to the floor by several plod and beaten silly with batons for a few minutes. My crime was trying to take my girlfriend with a face full of blood through the police lines to the ambulance. She staggered through them before collapsing on the floor while they beat me. Good old police.

Lets just say on occasions the police are there own worse enemy and don't always manage the situation to our liking.

We weren't discussing your typical Friday night out sam.

[SamDingle]

Dumb and dumber... thankyou.

[unluckymorton]

Dumb and dumber... thankyou.

What a cock you are.

[1864roverite]

I find it hilarious that burnley fans can relate to Ewood, a superb modern day arena as "deadwood" even more so when they have a little hovel of a mudheap they call their own "the turd".

remember dingles, we have held u21 Internationals at our ground whilst you lot have had the privilige of "sheep of the year" awards.

[AndyNeil]

not to mention a european championship and rugby league international ... turd is that much of a dump they had to spend £1 million, yes £1 million just to get the ground to the very basic league standard and even then there are jobs still outstanding on the 'snag' list.

They did get some new seats for the new season though

Don't forget they also hosted an under 21's where one of our players was booed all the way through the first half.

I think they made a half time appeal to stop booing him.

That just show's their mentality, they'll have gone to the game primarily to boo Matty, therefore turning up to support him at the same time!

Braindead idiots.

Or Marlon Broomes, as Matty was more commonly known as at the time of the match.

[AndyNeil]

from memory, I thought it was Ian Pearce?

Pretty sure it was Marlon, though I'm not sure what part of my memory this is coming from. Off the top of my head, didn't Andy Booth score a hattrick? Was this the same match?

[92er]

I think you're right; however, as I wasn't sure of his first name, I'm glad I didn't post him as "Chris Pearce".

[LeftWinger]

Wasn't it David Bentley?

Yep looks like that was it:
