Burnley boardroom

Many years ago I went into the Burnley boardroom & in that room they have a picture from 1987 when Burnley had to win to stay in the Football League.

The painting shows two Burnley players celerbating the second goal with the words........................

NEVER AGAIN !

underneath.

What price a similar one appearing in the Home Park boardroom with persons taking plaudits in the picture ?????

Burnley - if God wanted to give England an enema he's stick it in Burnley.

I remember being in their Directors Box with two absolute old muppets (Statler & Waldorf) sitting behind us giving Argyle and the good people of the South-West absolute shite for half an hour - I was biting my tongue, being a well behaved Director in my Club tie but burning to turn round and have a go back when from nowhere Tony Wrathall turned round and gave them an absolute volley of abuse. The look of shock on the two numpties faces was a joy - and they kept their big Burnley mouths shut for the rest of the half - and didn't come out for the 2nd half.

Elias thats exactly what we should have in the dressing room imo however your asking for too much for this current board to have any ambition for the club beyond property.

The North of England has quite a few horrible drab grey depressing towns, but Burnley surely tops the list in the 'ultimate shithole' league. It makes Plymouth look like St Tropez.

Burnley..the small time Lancashire town with a population 3 times less then that of Plymouth, with an impressive stadium that holds 22,000, played in the Premier League recently as in the old days.
We can learn alot from Burnley

I was recently in the Argyle boardroom and they do have a placard with never again on it, it's underneath the Argyle Fans Trust logo.

Burnley is a shit hole but look how far they have come a decent stadium and a run in the premiership!!!

Underneath a picture of Stapleton, I understood.

Soon to be under a photo of James Brent.

Was chatting to a Burnley fan myself this week. Mentioned our scenario for Saturday and he said they had to win their game in 1988 and hope Lincoln didn't. They won, Lincoln drew 1-1 and they were safe. So it wasn't even in their own hands as it is for us.

sorry but lincoln lost 2 nil at swansea. lincoln were never bottom until the final table was published (i think)

Are we talking 1988 here Elias or when Lincoln got relegated a few seasons back? I stand corrected if so, it was just what this Burnley fan told me yesterday morning that's all.

1st year of relegation to non league thought it was 87. may have to check details.

scarborough replaced them their 1st game in the league was at home to wolves where a wolves fan fell through the main stands roof

Ok fair enough. Forgot Lincoln had been relegated twice out of the league. He said they beat Leyton Orient 2-1 last game of 1987=88 season and Lincoln drew 1-1. Sounds like he got his own team's bit correct but not the Lincoln bit. I'll put him right when I see him on Sunday after we have secured our league status hopefully.

Nelson is worse. It's like their version of Whitleigh.

i am indeed forgetting that the other team down there was torquay mark loram got bitten by a dog, in te added time he got the goal to keep them up.

the game has changed out of all recognition since then - 11 v 11, pitch markings & goal posts the only things that are the same



maybe a 'never again' mural - problem is i can see this happening again VERY soon.........
