Paul Blade   10 #33 Posted May 27, 2009 I remember when Burnley were a first division team - i think both Sheffield teams weren't at the time.  Yup I can also remember that time I think it was about 75-6 ish  there is unfortunately a big difference between the top div then and now  Better fans, no matter who you supported you could go with your opponents fans without any worry about getting a knife in your back or a brick over your head  The chairmen didn't need to have the money of a small nation  and most of all the top league wasn't a 4 horse race every season just about every team had a chance of winning it  Europe wasn't involved and most games kicked off on a Sat at 3  Better then or now?? you make your mind up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
