It would be fantastic if somebody had a spare ticket for the game on New Year’s Day!!

Anyone in here got links with the club? Surely they could sort him a couple of complimentary tickets?

Is the New year's day game sold out?

If so and you are in the Burnley area Dave, I will donate you my season tickets so you can attend the match.

That would be 2 tickets in the Cricketfield Stand. If you want them, then they are yours, and of course free of charge.

Dave seems such a genuine nice guy. His posts of optomism make me smile everytime i read one.
I'd be happy to miss 1 game, so he can visit the Turf, watch us live and experience something we take for granted every other Saturday.

It hasn't 'grated' for a while MACCA, but it has done previously.

Silly bloody phone. Too busy trying to polish of a share bag of beefy balls whilst watching the crappest film I've ever seen ( airheads 1994 if you're interested )

Davemanu has given me and my wife his apartment in mauritius for 2 weeks in january , i have offered him my season tickets for a game whilst he is over here and am willing to go and bring him to burnley from cardiff. Is there is anyone who could contact the club and try and make it a special day for him ?

Well you could, I could, we all could.

Lets make it happen.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 8:54 pm

Just tweeted the club with a link to this thread

Dave should be treated like royalty for the day in my opinion. If there’s anything I can do to help I will - I’m happy to drive him up for the day if needed - I know Cardiff ain’t exactly next door to Milton Keynes but it’s a drive I do regularly so it’s no bother

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 8:57 pm

I hope Dave sees some snow and we reward him with a win that he hopefully can watch. Some photos on the Turf or in the Bridge before the game would be brilliant on the board.

Bin Ont Turf · Post by **Bin Ont Turf** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 8:57 pm

It would be nice if someone (Ashy I think knows best) could get his story on here and then to the club.

Didn't he become a Burnley fan because of a touring Burnley side in the fifties?

longside72 · Post by **longside72** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 8:58 pm

Im sure we can sort something together , never thought id be able to afford mauritius until davemanu's offer , so willing to do anything that can give him a memorable day ont' turf !!!

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 9:18 pm

Let's hope he hasn't pre booked in the Keirby; it'll turn him into a bstards fan

I can probably sort out a couple of tickets for the home game Vs Spurs, it would be in the Jimmy Mac upper stand.

Let me know, free of charge.

Hi Bhurdwaz..... If you are looking for tickets for the Liverpool game... I can't make it so you are very welcome to use mine...

Cracking thread, offers of tickets to Spurs & Liverpool games, great stuff. Just need some snow to come along now!

Bhurdwaz

Will you be visiting your family in St Albans whilst over here ?

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Sat Dec 09, 2017 10:20 am

If you do the half time draw, you won't need a ticket

Great suggestion.

And, of course, Bhurdwaz's choice, but it may be that the directors could find him a couple of seats in the directors' box.

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." But, not so much that the game is called off!

UTC

Of course, when it gets out that we have fans in Mauritius, we might lose the "little old Burnley" tag.

Absolutely cracking thread. Well done everyone, let's hope BFC get on board also. I'll buy you a pint davemanu.

davemanu2000 · Post by **davemanu2000** » Sat Dec 09, 2017 4:59 pm

Thank you all for offering me your tickets . if ever i would come to your beautiful town ,I would come alone . My wife is not an amateur of football . But she knows that my favourite English club is Burnley .
i am not coming to St albans as my brother in law is in Mauritius .
I would be ever grateful to any Claret who can bring me to Burnley for the match on New Year Day .
it is a fact that i became a Burnley fan when they visited Mauritius in 1954 . i was too young and I could not afford to travel to King Geoege V Stadium to any of their six matches they played here .
Only yesterday i sent about 30 greeting cards to the Chaiman ,other staff and leading players of Burnley who are engaged in PL matches . i do it almost every year because i love BURNLEY FC .
the first time when I came to Burnley I was greeted by late Frank Teasdale . i visited the club ,had a nice conversation to all you greeted me ,interviewed by Burnley Express and got a civic reception from the Mayor of Burnley .
i still have a nice photo of Turf Moor .
It was Mr Mik Stevens who received me on my second visit . I stayed at his place for two nights . he brought me to Turf Moor for a match which we drew .it was when we played in the second division .
Mr Stevens is really a gentleman

Has anyone who knows someone inside the club contacted them, or can we between us get davemanu to a game .

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Wed Dec 13, 2017 3:03 pm

davemanu might have to hop on a train to somewhere a bit easier to get too, which means I can grab him on the way past.

He's 2hrs 30mins away from me in Didcot, chuck in the drive to Burnley and it's going to be about 6hrs driving on New yrs day.
