That's brilliant. Hope the players watch this before they go out for the Wolves match.

Proper Padiham lasses.

You and I know who they are G, but best not name them - suffice to say they are friends of my two daughters.

An enjoyable watch I thought.

Beautiful.When you see stuff like this it makes you think about the players (not just at Burnley but pretty much any club in the top couple of divisions) who are getting paid more in a week than many fans earn in 2 years and you see them 'under-performing'. As someone has pointed out all the players should be made to watch stuff like this regularly to remind them who really matters. We've all seen it and there is no excuse - get your act together and do it for the fans because without them you would be nothing.

Enjoyed that. Couldn't have put it much better myself. Good on ya ladies.

Very well put together - their Dad must be made up

Aren't Ladbrokes the ones who were taking the **** out of Burnley on social media a little while back? Always found that a bit odd if they're one of our sponsors.

Aye took **** when we lost to Leeds in the cup using a middle finger emoji from “Leeds fans” to Chris Wood and Charlie Taylor.

Yeah that's seems a bit silly if they're a sponsor. Bit of an oversight from whoever was on social media duty that day I imagine!

Not just happened once either

Great video, waiting for the part where they made us look like dingles...didn’t happen Many things resonate, my mother although not a ‘proper’ Claret, listens or watches every match and keeps upto date with what’s going on. The football club is the heart beat of the town.

She's a proper claret!!

Great video which resonates will all most football fans

I remember my dad coming to pick me up from school on a Tuesday telling the teacher I had a dentist appointment
Next thing we were on a train to Bournemouth for a Tuesday night match.

My grandma was a claret although she didnt get to go on much. One Mother’s Day my dad told her he was treating her with a trip to Blackpool. They got on the bus down Burnley and everyone had claret and blue scarves on. She asked my dad where Burnley are playing today? Blackpool he replied.

First of all, it’s a nice video. Well put together and gives a feel-good vibe about the matchday experience.


However, anyone who follows me on Twitter may have seen, that this season I’ve veen really trying to raise awareness about the club’s over~promotion of gaming. t times they’ve tweeted Labeokes content three or four times a day. When you consider that the club regularly fail to tweet information such as ground changes (under 18s and u23s, despite the information haven’t been been available and advertised on here 48 hours earlier), I consider this a distinct lack of priority....putting money ahead of the football and the fans!

It’s something that I strongly feel shows a real disconnect between club and fans, and since Sean Dyche’s arrival, there haven’t been many of those.

I’ve spoken to a few representatives from the club and been told verbally or through social media, that with regards to promoting and encouraging gambling, “...I don’t see what the problem with it is....got to listen (go with) to the bigger offers financially...not causing any harm...”

I’ve tried to show Luton Town as being a model club in terms of how they’ve taken a stance and now no longer allow any gambling promotion at their ground...to be told that our financial package is far bigger (I could’ve guessed that) and because Luton’s deal is so small, it wouldn’t make a difference to them if they got rid of it all!!!

How Ladbrokes and their social media department have behaved on at least two occasions, but especially after the Leeds game last season, was pretty insulting (for a sponsor). We should’ve pulled the plug then. The very disturbing thing for me, is that OUR club did NOTHING to condemn the actions of Ladbrokes at the time. I guess that’s because money talks.

Finally...something that really tipped it for me. Mental health awareness day...it was the day of the Spurs game. Players wore T-shirts, videos were played online and inside the ground, but at the very same time, the club continued to post Ladbrokes adverts, encouraging us to have a bet or open a new account and that we’d ‘be a sucker not to!’ This, on mental health awareness day! Despite raising my concerns to the club through social media on that day, along with several others, no comment from the club was forthcoming.

The mental health awareness day is a good idea, it’s someywe need to promote more of. But to do so much advertising of Ladbroke at the very same time, showed unbelievable ignorance and stupidity around a subject matter which suggested the club ought to do more homework!

I will continue to thoroughly oppose how the club promotes gambling inside and outside of our football ground. I bloody hate it!

Interestingly, no game today; no gambling promotion. Clearly not timed tweets then.

[claret wizard]

With you on this. I’m in the CRICKET FIELD STAND, feel like ripping the red branding stuff down, but they’d ban me. We absolutely should have thrown them out after the Leeds game.

[jdrobbo]

As I’ve said earlier, even if money ‘does talk’ I’m really shocked and saddened by how the club have ‘looked after’ Ladbrokes and how they have turned a blind eye to things such as the behaviour of a sponsor and the legitimate concerns of sponsors who have serious concerns.
