Here's an interesting(ish) fact for you

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Since 1980, we have/will have played Burnley in the same league for just 16 seasons (including this season).
Yet in half of those seasons, after tomorrow's game, we will have played them on or around bonfire night.

Was it the Fa cup game when Beesley scored in injury..won 3 2?

Did we give Burnley part of South Stand 1 or 2 gangways?

 

[Frank the tank]

I do remember that game, they brought plenty but none in the South Stand that I can recall.

They did, I've been going since 88 and that was the most away fans I've ever seen in my time

 

[bornablade]

Did we have a game against Burnley postponed around New Year because of a murder?

Littlejohn and Heath sent off for a punch up.
Hodges and Beesley saved the game late on.

In the replay a Deane hat trick and Littlejohn goal won it for us.
Littlejohn got reported to the FA for responding to incessant racist abuse by laughing and gestures at Burnley fans after his goal.
Deane got his next hat trick about three days later at home v Ipswich.

I was astounded by both numbers and noise from them that day.

I remember that.
Isn’t that just typical of the police, let’s go for the easy target as we haven’t got a clue how to handle racist fans. Wankers.

Thanks Greasy I’m off out tonight, so will let you know tomorrow if that chat up fact works on the ladies in Barry Noble’s Roxy. Seems a winner to me as I whisper sweet Blades facts whilst exhibiting my best romantic ‘close’ dance moves to ‘Move closer’ by Phyllis Nelson …

I have no idea why I think this.

I sat on the kop and for some bizarre reason recall them being in a and b on South stand.

Illogical really
