Hi all, I'm launching a charity fundraising project today and would appreciate any help in spreading the word. It's a cracking cause so any extra promotion/attention will be wonderful. https://sites.google.com/view/50x500kabale/home?authuser=0 Ps. Next project will be to send them some clarets shirt...

Thanks Charlie. Still raining at the moment, we'll all have gills if this carries on.

Thanks for the thought Pickles, After the super typhoon last week (which turned out to be not so super) the Black rain signal went up on Thursday evening as over 6inches of rain fell in an hour! We then proceeded to have 1/4 of our annual rainfall in a day. With the drains likely still full of leave...

Happy days! Just signed up and paid the monies. This season is going to be a good one, I feel it in my bones.

Blast from the past

_Soclaretes_

Lived in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, loved it. Didn't meet any other Clarets but got to a couple of Kitchee and Eastern games. (Also from Pendle!) There are a few of us here. Great place, despite what it looks like in the media nowadays. I got indoctrinated by a fan of HK Pegasus, and so kitch...

Soclaret, are you the guy I met in kowloon a few years ago. We had a few beers and I gave you some Burnley memorabilia? Yes mate, legend! That was a great night. You'll be please to know that one of the flags ended up hanging on a wall in the Education Bureau and the other is flying proudly atop a ...

I was too young for the Imp, but used to marvel at the posters in the fellas shop, downstairs in Nelson Arndale, in the early 2000s. To think of the likes of the Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix etc. playing in Nelson, blew my mind.

Salt Jae, one of our own!

_Soclaretes_

Burnley born, grew up in and around Pendle. Now live in Hong Kong, spreading the Claret cheer.

Proud to say I've recruited many a new Claret while on the road. I have to say though, as with our transfers, recruitment is easier when we've been doing well.

_Soclaretes_

Congratulations Kgun. I watched the match here in Hong Kong and like many others have said, it was just the stadium announcer and close up on the happy couple so the whole thing was beamed worldwide.

It made me smile man, happy days!

Im just wondering if this is a correct thing to do when people are begging in the shopping centre's ect, sometimes i spare a few loose coins & sometimes rush past avoiding eye contact if cash strapped.

Looking at having a few weeks in the Phillipines later in the year and just wondering if anybody has a good itenary or any advice when planning the trip. Would probably fly into Manila and be off the next day to get around than stay in Manila too long. Obviously want to spend lots of time around th...

Honestly, the amount of rubbish being spouted by Burnley fans at the moment is insane. I'm not one of the more die hard fans but even I can remember the days of playing Division 3 football and being laughed at by every Blackburn fan I met. Now we have one poor start to the season and people complete...

Watching from California. COME ON YOU CLARETS! Let's get a goal! After the majority of the performance today it would feel like a win!

Big thanks to Ray who put up with the heat, bad directions and over priced beer to meet up with me tonight. We started painting Hong Kong Claret and we won't stop there.

Have any of them got to the stage where they'll watch a Burnley game with you too? work and sleep, work and sleep, repeat. That's pretty much what these chaps do. I'm working up to it but most games are on 11pm+ here so very little chance of them joining. I may buy the season highlight DVD and play...

Hi Soclaretes, I'm staying in Kowloon from 7 till 11 July. I have a few things I can bring with me that you could share with your school. That's very kind of you mate, beers on me when you can meet up. Not sure how familiar you are with HK but I'd suggest either The Dockyard in Hung Hom (close to K...

Im going to be in Hong Kong next month for 4 days. I'd be happy to meet up for a beer. I could bring some Burnley stuff with me to give to your pals.e.g. flag, scarf,badges. When are you turning up and where are you staying? Would be great to meet up, a group of us are watching the England match at...

_Soclaretes_

I should also mention that when I told the chap I was ordering from, what it was for and how many I wanted (more than in the photo) BFC said they'd lower the delivery fee.

We support a hell of a club folks. Can't think of many others who would offer that off their own bat.

_Soclaretes_

I already posted this on a couple of FB groups but, as I mentioned in an old post, after the Chelsea result I told my colleagues here in HK that I'd buy them all Burnley shirts if we finished top 10. They always laughed (or looked blank) when I told them I supported Burnley but they've really turned...

_Soclaretes_

Good luck with that. :lol: We moved there a few years ago and it was 4 months before they came to connect a phone line. 6 months for internet. Very unreliable service. Let's hope the Spaniards have caught up!! :o We were out in the sticks though. Benidorm it's called. You've probably never heard of...

A friend of mine is asking where (local to Burnley and pendle) he can get a Burnley shirt framed. He won one of the recent auction shirts and would like to get it framed and maybe some kind of stats/info to represent this season. 1. Anyone any ideas about where the best place to get one frames is? 2...

Noel Edmond's Blobby Land in Morcambe. They turned my beloved Happymount Park into a pink and yellow spotted nightmare.

Luckily (and obviously) it did not take off so it's back to being awesome now.

_Soclaretes_

They've fully occupied the site and have denied access to staff. Police can't do anything because they haven't the resources to physically remove them. They are causing a right mess apparently, stripping brass from the place and all sorts. It's a joke that our police force haven't got the manpower t...

Plenty of beers in, work tomorrow but staying up to watch the game in Hong Kong. Come on lads, let's get our own back and spoil their party.

Tbf after 3 watches of a replay, im not sure, and y'know its not the done thing to accuse someone of something if you arent sure eh Gaetan lad? Only showed the Bong incident once on the stream I'm watching, looked like he'd whacked it away from what I saw. I will be clearer in how I type things in ...

Shirts are always cheaper towards the end of the season, get them purchased now and save some money. My dad went on to the Leicester match and ordered them for me. About 14 in total. We got the 50% discount and when they heard what they were for, they agreed to discount the postage too. We support ...

Done. Good luck

_Soclaretes_

Been out in Hong Kong for the last 4 years. At first the staff I worked with either hadn't a clue who we were or laughed at me if they did. Now, they're all cheering us on each week. I've said if we finish in the top 10 I'll buy them all Burnley Shirts and we'll start the HK Clarets Supporters Club....

Cooling equipment is different yes but a fan will cool a person down. It doesn't make the room cooler but neither does wearing a jumper in winter time make a room warmer. Upgrade your fan and it will work even better. If the hot snap lasts any longer, this could help: http://www.ecosnippets.com/diy...

I was convinced he's going nowhere but with the length of time this has gone on for I'm not so sure now. Surely SD and the board are aware of all the rumours and have discussed the situation so the fact that no statement had been made saying he's committed to us is the most worrying thing for me. T...

Really didn't think there was much in this but the longer it sticks around, the more worried I get. Saying that, Dyche knows which side his bread is buttered, especially after how he was shipped off from Watford. Hopefully our loyalty to him, and our general 'good, old club' vibe will tip the balanc...

He seemed a bit mad at me too earlier, but that's okay, I don't mind mad; mad is good, mad is authentic and genuine. A person is never more honest than when they are angry.
