Lucky buggers…

It was a fantastic match both for the spectators and the general viewing public. Burnley fans exploded through the turnstiles not expecting miracles, perhaps a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline would be good to say “we tried”. However, we got so much more than that :-D .

I won’t go into epic details or generate a full match report, I’ll leave various other excellent sites to do that for me. Suffice to say we went from elation to desperation in the blink of an eye.

We should be proud, however. Continually we’ve pulled it out when it counts, and the players’ spirit on Wednesday night will be treasured for years to come. Those who went will talk about the time we almost had it for decades, while saying “I was there” 8-) .
