The pies from the pie shop across the way were top notch too.

I only stood on the embankment once, and no it didn't.

How did you know?

The Coppers were always obliging and those gaps in the metal railings were perfect for watching the match through. :oyea:

I remember the uproar when they painted the crush barriers red.

Well, maybe 'uproar' is a bit strong.

I only ever knew them asr red.. Well, I say red... They looked red from a distance, until you saw them close up and they were actually chewing gum / rust colour

Sounds horrifically realistic but we didn't play either of those teams in 88/89 or 89/90...

I can recall being stood about there in 1997 right at the end of the season against QPR. I think if we won, it meant we were promoted, but not sure about that bit. I'd set off late and ticketless as I didn't think I'd be able to get to the game. The ticket office said they couldn't sell me one that late in the day on the phone, so I hoiked myself over to the away turnstiles and managed to convince the man on the gate, that I supported no-one, and was just on a tour of all the Football League grounds - this was number 74 on my list.

If memory serves, QPR scored first. Every fooker in my bit going barmy, as away fans often do, other than me. A steward wandered over to me and said "follow me at a bit of a distance and I'll let you in the Paddock"...

Ended up winning 2-1. Was great. I think that was my last game at Burnden.
