It appears that the original poster on the Transport Worldwide Forum had got his facts wrong about the date and football team.

My book called it Bank Top station but it was the name for Burnley Central.
Anyway, job sorted now, I have put the same information on the Transport Worldwide forum which is where I saw the photo in the first place.
One poster had even said it was Lostock Hall.
