Hull / Burnley ovation

My brother is a Burnley fan [ sinful ] and was at Hull watching the game. He said the best moment of the day was when they announced over the tanoy that Accy had won, and were now in the league. Everyone stood, cheered and applauded, a wonderful sight to see.

They still feel guilty about the part that Butcher-Bob Lord played in Stanley's 1962 difficulties.
Perhaps now they'll feel able to forgive themselves

forgive me if i'm wrong, know what you mean, but how can you or anybody say that kids of today know what happened 40 odd years ago. We know where Burnleys stand etc came from, but do they ??

Where did Burnley's stand come from?

denise · 17-04-2006, 00:21

bob called in the debts that stanley owed.

Tin Monkey · 17-04-2006, 07:42

Ahhhh.... a tenuous link there.

Blackburn Stanley · 17-04-2006, 08:36

What date do Burnley come to Accy for the end of season friendly?

slater_scott · 17-04-2006, 09:43

Diesel · 17-04-2006, 09:46

I can't be there today, unfortunately

Why would we want to do that? If Rovers fans want to see our trophy they can make the effort to come over to Stanley next Saturday

Rovers Fans see a TROPHY if they do see ours it will be the only one they will see this season

I remember going on a tour of Ewood when I was at Primary School, seen Alan Shearer getting in a lift

The trophy room is quite big, but absolutely empty lol
