Visiting Uk for a white Christmas

[davemanu2000]

To Ontario Claret ,
For your kind information I have no servants but friends every where .In Mauritius I welcome the Clarets fans and place them in hotels at concessionary tariff.those who cannot to payhotel bills are asked to stay in my seaside apartment at no cost .

[ClaretDiver]

How many servants do you have on staff, dave?

I am not sure if you are being ironic or just pure rude!

[mybloodisclaret]

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

I think there has been about 3 offers of tickets. Not sure if they have come through for him. Are you collecting him?

I am in Manchester on NYE and doubt I will be fit to drive much before 4th January.

[HunterST_BFC]

Dear HunterSt-BFC.

Just see your mail box .

Hi, email received.
I sent you a reply.
I have also tried to send texts to you but the number won't receive them at the mo'? maybe a phone setting at your end?
I do have had some news for you regards a Match visit.

Please call me in the evening so I may pass info' on to you. My number is again shown within the email sent to you.

I need to hear back from you "Dave".

Any updates to this one?

Any updates to this one?

I think HunterST_BFC has sorted something in regards to the match experience on New Years Day (as per http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboar ... =2&t=23955" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), but I do believe that Dave still needs travel from Cardiff to Burnley - I did offer initially but my good lady has organised other plans for me on NYD, so I am currently trying to persuade her otherwise, but its not looking promising for me so far...

[Sidney1st]

Hmm ok, I'll email davemanu and see what we can sort out, might require some jiggling about but I can probably work something out with him.

I think thats what HunterST_BFC is trying to arrange with lonside72 Sid - on here http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboar ... =2&t=23955" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[HunterST_BFC]

Any updates to this one?

Very soon. When all confirmed.
But any help offers welcome.
My mob (edit number)

[longside72]

Just spoke to HunterST_BFC , hopefully hes sorted something for the game , just need to get him here. Im running a pub so its probably the worst timing but
If we cant sort anything with someone nearer to cardiff i will drive down and bring him up.

My offer still stands regarding match tickets,
So if Hunters needs them to go towards making the day possible, they are ready and waiting.

[Sidney1st]

I've had a look and there a couple of ways we can do this.
If he can get on a train to Didcot, it's about an hour's trip and I can bring him up with me and back down again.
I can take a different route and go up the M5 and get him from somewhere that way if he gets either dropped off or a train to somewhere this side of the bridge..

I'd prefer not to have to go directly into Cardiff, it would be a killer of a journey for me, especially with my 3 lads in the car.

[HunterST_BFC]

Big Thanks to Longside72,
+ Macca & Sydney1st.
I'll update when some info is confirmed.

One way or another this is happening!

[cricketfieldclarets]

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

I met Mick Stevens many years ago through the old forum. He sorted me some England tickets out and went out of his way to get them to me. Top man.

I am struggling NYD as I am away, but if still struggling I can take you to Heathrow on the 2nd or 3rd no problem at all.

Just for general information to everybody, I was not trying to be rude or ironic to dave. Everybody knows what an icon he is on this site. But his generosity goes beyond normal people's extremes. Good on ya, dave, and I hope that you and everybody else on this site has the merriest of Christmases. And I mean EVERYBODY. UTC!!

[davemanu2000]

First and foremost I have to thank most heartily the love and the desire to help me so that I may watch the match on 1st January .As requested I may catch a train and travel from Newport to Didcot in order to facilitate the travel .I should be informed at what time I should catch the train at Newport .
Contrary to what some may think I have the milk of human kindness and always helped needy people .I am a teetotaller , I may consume some meat except venison chicken , mutton and seafood .
It is a fact that I have been an ardent Claret fan since 1954 .I have never deserted Burnley even though they were in 4th division.i followed the match against Leyton Orient , At a certain time I was very sad when the reporter said that only a miracle can save from rel3gation to the Vauxhall league .I prayed at home for divine assistance and after 90 mins our honour was saved .

[whentheballmoves]

It's a long time since we met, Dave. I was the fanzine editor!
Hopefully, our paths will cross over the festive period.
J'espere que on se verra un jour ou l'autre avant ou après le match!

[longside72]

Cricketfield clarets , could you get in touch .
Cheers

[Ashingtonclaret46]

I keep watching this to see what progress is made. It would be good to meet up again and, if I had been nearer I would have driven down to Cardiff, however, it is quite a distance from Ashington!

[Sidney1st]

Just to confirm, davemanu is going to be at the game on boxing Day, it's just about finalizing the details in regards to travel.

Haven't forgotten about it, I'm just waiting for confirmation of times from Hunter etc.

I'll be bringing him up from Didcot though, that much is arranged.

Nice one Sid. Boxing Day or New Year’s Day?

[longside72]

Rick_muller , its going to be liverpool game , new years day. Thanks to sidney1st for getting davemanu up here , and HuntersST_BFC for trying to arrange his day at the game , we'll post full details as soon as everything cofirmed.
Brilliant response from everybody on here , makes you proud to be from 'proudsville' !!!!

Up The ( mauritiun ) Clarets

[Sidney1st]

New years day.

I do travelling up and down on the same day due to having the 3 kids with me.
I'm bringing davemanu up on the day and someone else will look after him from there.

I'm happy to do it because his posts always make me smile, regardless of what else is going on in the world and they're always positive.
As someone else said, Macca I think when he offered his tickets, we take match day for granted as and when we go, whereas for davemanu this will be special because its extremely rare.
Its the very least I can do to help him get there.

[HunterST_BFC]

Confirmed at last!
Huge thanks to Longside72 and to Sydney1st .
Plus the many others also that have offered help from UTC , Superb!
Big thanks to is also to Darren Bentley at the Club who has arranged for Bhurwaz and Longside72 to be his guests for the Matchday.

It's happening!
It would be great for those that have met him before, to meet up again. Ashington for eg and many others.
Also for those who have never met him but have enjoyed "Dave"'s contributions on UTC / CM for many years.

A Very Happy Start To The New Year!

[Sidney1st]

I'm looking forward to the drive up and chatting to him.

[davemanu2000]

Honestly I feel the pain fellow Clarets arehaving because of me .However I am glad that all arrangements are being made for me to facilitate things .Mr Bentley is known to me as on my precious visit I had the chance to meet and talk to me .
It will be aday to remember to be at Turf Moor on the first day of 2018.
No doubt we are starting with a great win and be among the Big Four .

[Sidney1st]

No pain for me, might be for you though being in the car with my 3 lads for a few hours

[HunterST_BFC]

No pain at all - a pleasure.

[longside72]

Massive thanks to Hunters , for sorting the match for davemanu and sidney1st for arranging to get him up here , if anyone would like to arrange to meet davemanu somewhere so everyone could give him a special burnley greeting , please feel free to suggest . I will be arranging for davemanu to stay in burnley for the night so either before ( depending on his time of arrival ) or after the match.
Massive thanks to everyone who has helped / offered just shows what a fantastic club we are !!!
Up The Clarets !!!!

[Rick_Muller]

I’m just glad you all have managed to make arrangements - just wish I could have done my bit too. Would love to meet the legend that is Davemanu2000 - many a wise word written on here.

[Ashingtonclaret46]

Brilliant news. Well done to all concerned in making this happen. It would be good to meet up with Bhurdwaz again although it will depend where and when. I can't suggest where this might happen because my knowledge of venues in the area is limited days. I shall await any development with interest.
