Perhaps this Burnley fan should have a word with A Lochhead Esq at their next home match. I think Andy might put him right!
I might have been hallucinating, but as well as borrowing our colours I believe I read somewhere that we played them in the first game at Turf Moor to inaugurate the ground. What with us being a big draw at the time, and all that. Believe we did the same for Bristol Rovers and a few others too.
Burnley changed kit to claret and blue in 1911 in the hope that copying us would help them have more luck and win more.
I had a discussion with a Spurs fan on holiday recently who refused to acknowledge that we have won the European Cup.
It's quite interesting to be standing near Mr.McGregor's statue on matchdays and listening to some of the questions and answers about him.The most common one is "Who's he?" answer "Probably one of their old chairmen."Another one I overheard once was that "He's the bloke who built Villa Park."But fair play to The Arsenal fan a couple of seasons ago with a couple of kids in tow who asked him the question and he was spot on, "If it wasn't for him we wouldn't be watching league football nowadays, that man came up with the idea and it weren't a bad one was it?" The two lads then posed for photo's in front of the statue.
