Our very own Jack Walker - I'd love it but they are very few and far between. Crowds pre orient were around 3000. Never mind your post walker crowds - where were you all before big jack? Neither club should be over proud of their attendances in those days. You mention the team of the 70's - that's really the issue isn;t it - that when the decline set in for mill towns we held out much longer than you - in fact our relative success in the 50's, 60's and 70's whilst you were hanging around in the lower leagues really grates doesn't it? Perhaps you cannot get over the fact that Burnley has always been regarded as a football town whilst you aren't? Never forget there is only one reason why you are where you are (and your league status is what brings on your 20000 not a deep love of the club - for gods sake some of you want to merge your club with Preston!!!!) and that is Jack Walker. Lets see how long you can hang on for without huge cash injections eh?

winder away at least we felt able to support our team without someone pumping 100's of millions in - something only a few regulars at deadwood can say today

I know a really good penalty stopper - he saved 2 in normal time and 2 (yep the one that hit the post I am convinced he got a hand to) in the shoot out. I am sure we will loan him to you if you want. In all fairness you cannot complain if the guys at position 8 miss a pen in the shoot out can you - going at number 8 you are hardly going to be a top penalty taker are you? Maybe you should loan us Stead so we can get him playing again like we did Andy Todd?

Leeds/Bradford - two separate cities, one of whom independently went for the city of culture. Newcastle/gateshead do work together closely - then again they are separated by around 500 yards of Water as opposed to the 20 miles between Preston and Blackburn. But please feel free to persue this avenue - nothing would please me more than seeing the only way for you lot and PNE to survive is an unholy alliance - though of course home games would be played at deepdale, with it being the oldest pro sports ground in the world

In fairness I never see violence at the hallowed Turf yet i cn assure you we do have more than our fair share of hooligans. You don't see it at the turf - and I would guess your part of the M65 corridor because Lancs Police have controlling it down to an art around the grounds

Amazing. The Police bring a civil suit because their evidence is not enough to get a conviction in a crminal court - and you lot want to condemn them all as guilty. Now these guys may or may not be guilty but surely everybody agrees that if they are guilty the Police are required to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt? If not just what separates our police from that in totalitarian states?
