Claretforever

Listen guys, all clubs have a small minority of wannabe hooligans. Burnley is not different, other than we have actually had reputation (70's, 80'd and probably even early 90's) for it. Regarding today I left on 90-92 mins, mainly to avoid to crowd n the pub, but Saints fans were already gathering(handfuls) at the Cricket Club then. Burnley fans were happy leaving the ground (there's a wire fences separating leaving Clarets fans parking in the Cricket Club (lots) and from what I've heard, it was tit for tat. Saints were chanting, not happy of course, and Clarets responded in kind. Naughty boys on both sides. Fighting down the Main Street (a Yorkshire street?) with Clarets ending up on top of Saints cars. It got a bit messy I'm told, Not seen anything like it for 12-14 years at Burnley. ***I've only got 3 posts this 24 hours on here****

Thanks Warsash and Turkish.

Did you go, or is that just a guess? In Nuttall Street stand(now Jack Walker)? 2,000 seems a large allocation to give for that game, if it is correct(???), especially as that old stand probably only had 2,000 seats in it (stand at back and paddock at front I'm told?) I know it's not important to you guys, so thanks for the reply by the way.

Hi guys, sorry to bother you with such a trivial and non-current topic, but I have a question for those fans which travelled to watch the Saints in the early 90's. I'm being asked to post on behalf of a friend as I have a log in for this forum. It's only because it's Friday I've agreed to ask, otherwise he'd be told to sod off! Blackburn 0-0 Southampton in March 1993 Att: 13,000 something. (Night match) Apparently they had their Darwen End (behind the goal) under development, but had 3 sides operational. Did anyone go? How many, roughly, and anyone know where/what you were allocated? The reason: the usual kiddy debates about crowds as it is Blackburn's lowest crowd in the Premiership apparently? Rival banter purposes. I'm told his Rovers mate says it's because you took no fans and were allocated 2,000? Tuesday night? Anyway, don't worry if you can't answer. Let it sink down the forum!
