I missed the Currie screamer that night too due to the scrapping going on all game, we were surrounded on that side terrace but Burnley couldn't move us. Outside the ground was a shithole derelict and knocked down houses and no lighting to see where you was going in the pitch black. I'll never know how we found the coaches that night. I can't remember why it was a saturday night game either
Late 1973 there was a fuel crisis petrol pumps were running dry and the miners were threatening to go on strike. On January 1st 74 the govt introduced the 3 day working week to save fuel and electricity. The first ever Sunday games were played on the day after we played Burnley (20th jan) tickets had to be sold in advance it was illegal to sell tickets on a Sunday. TV broadcasting was shut down at 10.30 to save electric as were pubs and clubs, there were fears of a baby boom later in 1974
I remember all that but surely it would make more sense to play earlier and not use floodlights.Late 1973 there was a fuel crisis petrol pumps were running dry and the miners were threatening to go on strike.

A lot going on in the UK but still can't work out why we played saturday night.
) and he was so excited when JayRod (as they call him in Burnley) re-signed for them!
When we played Leeds in the league cup , Nicky Johns should have been subbed was the worst keeper I had ever seen ............ Until Baxter .
I'm sure Badger got sent off in same game and we lost 4-1My memory of Burnley is Woody getting sent off at Turf Moor
I went to the match only a young un tho , someone mentioned previously glen keeley getting sent off tbh I can only remember woody getting sent off ( got a funny story too about glen keeley if any one wants know )
No, he was at Chesterfield at the time
Zaire's keeper got subbed just after Yugoslavia scored the third goal but the sub keeper saw 6 more goals whizz past him!
Andy Keeley..... Glen’s brother
Haha sorry yep meant Andy keeley
yes I was there it was when the warm pork pie scandal broke (folk getting food poisoning) and they bloody sold me one, I lobbed it this copper pissed himself, it may have been Keeley got him missed up as one does.
Haha good job I don't like pork pie
,in the 70,s my dear old mum ( rip mum ) spent a lot of time in Claremont ( we weren't rich there was no treatment available on the nhs ) any way this 1 time Andy keeley was in the next room so being a young excited blade I spent a lot of time chatting to him about utd and footy , he came over to me as being the stereotype thick footballer as he told me he lived at mosborough and spent one full evening trying to convince me that mosborough was actually spelled mos,bro I said it wasn't bearing in mind I was probably only about 10 he said it was as he had seen it on a road sign.
Reference to this away game 56 years a go this week which Blades won 1-2. I was a fair distance away from both Sheffield and Burnley but stumbled on a newspaper, which were about 3 days old when we received them. Always looked at back pages first for sport. To my delight I read of the 1-2 victory and this is where I need your help. On looking at the league table Blades were top, or is my memory playing tricks. Game was played on 26 Oct and to that date Blades had P15 W 8 D 5 L 2. Help
Thanks Sir, your a gent, sanity retained even if only for a short while. I did look for historical weekly tables but drew a blank, never thought of club records, nice tip that SB appreciated.
We were still at the top until after JFK got shot dead
Courtois won the World Cup with France?
