I know loads of people who have done this and are now as claret and blue as us. Italianclaret88 - came to watch us at Brentford a few years ago. Now as big a claret as any of us and has probably been more games than many on here (and we usually win!!!)

If you want a ticket that much you will get it.
True story...4 years ago I start to watch burnley live in away and turf, when I get a free weekend I come to follow the clarets as cfs said..and I think about the Genoa family at Stamford is a good thing if they make no problem....I know many peoples in burnley I usually drink at talbot, and peoples make me feel like home...and remember if ITALIAN CLARET is on the game...the victory is easy....

Leisure wrote:At Arsenal a couple of years ago we met a Spanish lad in the pub there. He was on holiday with his wife in London and had bought a ticket online as he always wanted to see a PL game. He was given a Burnley shirt and scarf by our group which he then proudly wore in the home section. Since then he's kept in touch and become a follower of the Clarets. He brought his wife over a couple of weeks ago to attend a home game and stay for a few days in Burnley.
He didn't by any chance happen to look a bit like Chris Kamara?

Behind me were folk speaking a foreign language and it wasn't Yorkshire!

Not just Japanese. There were lots of “odd” accents walking around (and I don’t mean the mancs :lol:) with bags from the club shop

There was a group visiting from the private school Repton Dubai which might explain it.

Yeah I saw them kids getting off the coach.

It wasn’t them I was referring to though but small groups of adults

Of course the odds are they are just random people catching a game but if it helps us gain a following oversees it can't be bad. It does make you wonder how they have come by their tickets though.

On many occasions wandering down Harry Potts Way i have heard foreign voices around mme. A guy from the US stopped me earlier in the season in the town centre asking the way to the ground. Russians, scandinavians, Yorkshire..heard it all. All comes with being in the Prem.
