Burnley appeal for help.

I don't remember seeing any plane

Do you remember seeing the match?

Oh yes, another Sky Sports move to make life difficult for the travelling fans.

Not sure it would be worth asking for witnesses in the Brighton area? Despite being unbeaten and top of the league in October, there was a pathetic away following of just 375. Yet reading this board it seems that everyone knows what a dump Burnley is?
Well when I am forced to drive around Moulescombe, and Whitehawk I can tell you it aint that good down here.
I do travel to Lancashire and whilst the old mill towns do look tired in places, the welcome is always warm and the surrounding countryside stunning.
BTW little Burnley (population 75,000) brought over 1,600 to the Amex, not a whippet in sight.

They needed time to find out on Google what it was.

They needed time to discover a computer, then porn, then google...

Judging by your spelling I don't think you have ever visited one of the areas referenced. If you had, you wouldn't have made such a crass and stupid comparison. No wonder Burnley supporters end up being stereotyped in the way they are.

 

[SeagullinExile]

That's Yorkshire.

Not exclusively. They work whippets in Lancs too.

I've certainly been misinformed. I've always understood that Brighton fans were opposed to the idea of stereotyping a town on the basis of one perceived cultural difference?

 

[MattBackHome]

Perhaps I should have inserted a smiley. I'm not being sensitive, and I do wear a flat cap, and eat mushy pea butties.

I had my first ever mushy pea fritter last week and it was absolutely ****ing DELICIOUS.

Good to see them putting all their resources into the promotion push

You have caught us out, guilty as charged of whippetophobia and flatcap hate crimes.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

I thought it was at the Amex but it goes back to November last year at Turf Moor. Why has it taken so long to realise a plane flew over?

I was thinking the same.

First thing that sprung to mind was that the plane is owned by Tony Bloom and therefore they are going to try and get points deducted from us. They didn't see us as a threat until now.

Then again - I have an over active imagination

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Just need a whippet and flat cap comment to complete my stereotype bingo card.

I think you forgot something.

Yes, those BNP councils certainly know how to make everybody welcome

There aren't any BNP councillors on Burnley council. And when there were, there were extenuating factors - many Burnley people would sooner sell their grannies to the white slave trade than vote Tory, the Liberals didn't have a candidate inmost wards, and Labour were unelectable on the grounds that (among other things) they had passed a council motion approving of the mayor's conduct in collecting an indecent exposure conviction in the public toilets of a park in Nelson in the middle of the day in school half-term. (He claimed homophobia on that one, and remained on the council Public Protection Committee.) No excuse for voting BNP, but there was literally no viable alternative.

De plane, De plane

 

[Stato]

Shouldn't they be looking for this man?

 

[LlcoolJ]

De plane, De plane

He's just indicating the direction to hoof the ball to Gray.

 

[Aveacarlin']

It was probably nothing - I think they still point at planes up there

Fantastic
