What wrong with a PIE and a BOVRIL Print E-mail
Saturday, 26 January 2008

  2008_0124burn23jan0042   I  went into Burnley the other day and took a few more pics to add to the BURNLEY PHOTO GALLERY . As Burnley Fc are about to engage on a major £20 million development at Turf Moor I thought I would take some of the ground before things start to change .

Now I vaguely  remember that as a young lad I last stood on the terraces  of this ground at the age of around 6 with my dad and grandad trying to  turn me into a claret fan  (What would grandad think of me now ---a Rovers fan ).

As I stood outside the ground sommert struck me as I looked at the shiny new advertising hoardings  placed on the walls .We now live in an age where it seems to me that CORPERATE fans  mean more to clubs than REAL fans  pictures of  YUPPIES enjoying  fancy foods and fine wine spending hundreds of pounds seem more important than the  DADS LITTLE JOHNNY and GRANDAD.I wonder if these posh folks will remember there meals when they  grow older  as I remember the excitement of  Going to Turf moor and having a PIE and   a BOVRIL
