I'm all for blaming Burnley for being dirty pricks and the unnecessary jumping scissor on Wes from Mee... but didn't Heaton jump/fall awkwardly?
Some lovely people in Burnley. A place that voted 2/3rds leave, a place where any UKIP/BNP chancer can count their votes in thousands not hundreds. Over the years I've gone to watch the Villa in some right shit hole towns, but Burnley takes the prize for ticking the most boxes for shit hole place with shit house people. From 1974 and an FA Cup defeat when it was run like a totalitarian regime by the anti-semite Bob Lord to a 2004 DOL surrender in the league cup it's always been shit in Burnley. Generally speaking I've always preferred away days north rather than south but in the case of this bunch of kit stealing oiks I'll make an exception. The foods shit and the pubs are dire if you make it out of them alive. If we ever get back to being able to watch football live it wont be on my list for a re-visit. John Cooper Clarke was right. l'll tell you now and I'll tell you firmly, I don't ever want to go to Burnley !UTV and FTF. 3 points any way you like.
I went to that cup game in 74, I think it was Rioch,s last game.My abiding memory was being stuck in a traffic jam for what seemed like hours to get out of town.We must have been what passed for entertainment, as I can picture doorstep after doorstep filled with gormless looking locals staring at us.February, Bleak and Horrible

He was not born there but did retire there and as far as I know stilll lives there.

I remember golf balls being thrown at the c. 7,000 Villa fans by the Burnley fans throughout the match. We lost unluckily 1-0 IIRC.

Our neighbours from small Heath had 33,000 average
