Joy For Burnley Fans at the Sight of a Premier League Team
Saturday August 28th, 2010
Bolton Wanderers have been drawn away to Championship relegation favourites Burnley in the third round of the Carling Cup.
Owen Coyle returns to the club he used as a stepping stone to much better things, but will take a team comprised of reserve and youth players as the competition is seen as distracting to a Premier League outfit. Brian Laws, his counterpart at Turf Moor is expected to field a full strength side.
Laws, who guided two different clubs to relegation last season, may see the tie as something of a swan song, as he isn’t expected to last in the job past Christmas. His team were crushed at Swansea this afternoon, leading to more pressure on the Clarets boss.
The tie will take place in the week commencing 20th September, and Burnley supporters are eagerly awaiting Coyle’s visit, as it gives them a chance to pay tribute to a man who took them to the only spell in top flight football they’re ever likely to see.

At least they don’t have to listen to that drum in a stadium resembling a burned-out candle on an out of town retail park.

I enjoy travelling to the various football clubs in Lancs. Horwich Wanderers franchise (like MK Dons but they moved further from home and told the truth with a name amendment) and their breeze block hell-bowl is the place to avoid. You may be in Prem but, in my experience, Turf Moor is more friendly and far more atmospheric. As is every other Lancs football ground.
