Dave does gloating rather well I think!

Not sure about my first match but I do recall standing on the Bee Hole End when the weakened first team were playing at Chelsea. I think we were losing 4-0 but brought it back to 4-4. Burnley got fined for fielding a weakened side ahead, I think, of a cup match. No idea what year that was.

I used to go regularly in the 60’s. There was a gated section in what is now the Bob Lord Stand. It was 6d extra to go in there. The wall pitch side was white and relatively low. A great view from there.

It was the 1960/61 season when we drew 4-4 with Chelsea, 3rd round FA Cup and played a "weakened" team because of a European Cup tie in mid-week.

Your memory is spot on with the "Paddock", my granddad used to lift me over the wall, and I kid you not he used to take a little 3-legged stool so I could sit and watch the match from a perch almost on the pitch!
