I reckon virtually every club in the country will have at least one similar character. If we're treating it as some sort of competition, then the lads who follow their clubs all over Europe every season are beating Dave Burnley.
That's true, but would they travel to Colchester, Torquay, Wrexham, Wycombe on a cold winter's night, and you could add countless others, during our dog days in the 4th division.

Even if he got in the home games he would miss out on the away games, so what's the point?

Unless reporters are allowed in and he freelancers for a red top?

Yes i did mention in an earlier posting the away games could prove problematic, i don't know the rules around visiting clubs bringing any 'guests' among their entourage.

Reporters i'd imagine would be allowed access as they can legitimately claim they're carrying out their working duties.

I highly doubt virtually every club in the country will have at least one similar character. Not at his level. Changes his name. Names his daughter Clarette. Every home game is an away game for him. The guy hitch-hiked across America to watch us never mind Europe.

In any event he's our character. He's our "Superfan" and that's something to be liked. If he's proven healthy it won't cause any issue for anyone for him to be at the games.

If we all decided to try and sneak into a game it would be mayhem...never met the guy and have no wish to.He sounds to me like he is very obsessive. Watch it on the tele like the rest of us...

Maybe I misunderstood your stance, in which case I apologise. But by suggesting that people who disagree with Dave Burnley's plans to illegally gain entry to a stadium are envious has left your position wide open to being misinterpreted.
Read all my posts, I said some will have been waiting a while for this day regardless that covid is here.
They are envious of his label of Burnley's most loyal/famous supporter, and the legth of his fantastic record.

But I accept your apology, thank you

What you missed out was that I backed him for what was lawful, but didn't back him for what was unlawful, pretty much the same stance as in this case

Good he chops and changes the team he follows all the time. One minute he's at the Turf acting like he's a claret and the next week he's with all the southerners at Old Trafford

No way he should come ahead of a true supporter like Dave Burnley or Kenny the Cowdenbeath ball boy

Southgate is also boring. I've never once seen him join in with any football chants. I suppose he gets a bit conflicted. Must be hard work supporting 20 top flight clubs.

I think we should actively support Dave Burnley to attend games as our sole supporter. If he manages to attend all remaining games I would be happy to donate £100 to a worthwhile local charity. Let’s turn this into a positive and raise some money.

If he reads this on here , i wish him all the luck in the world that he gets to see the next 9 games .

My idea was the club would invite him to be some kind waterboy , now unpaid but i am sure he would jump at the chance .

Good luck Dave

I'd like to see him in the commentary box with Phil Bird and Daz Bentley. Maybe like a fans representative for these behind-closed-doors games. Between the 3 of them and Dave Roberts you've got unparallelled encyclopedic knowledge of all things BFC - am sure he could do an end-of season quiz or something?!

What we should do is sack Dyche and instate Dave Burnley as caretaker manager. The season’s nearly over in any case and it would leave Dyche free to take his dream job at Nottingham Forest so it’s a win win.

This thread is a cracker.

I could separate the 'Claret Tony wind up merchants' and the 'I didn't know that some posters are trying to wind Claret Tony up' into two groups quite easily.

I’ve no interest in the self-indulgence that this thread is based on, and I’ve no idea why anyone would choose to attend a behind closed doors game with no atmosphere, but I also don’t know how we are expected to watch Sky games when the pubs are all shut (if we don’t subscribe)? **

I guess you could get a Now Tv sports pass. I think one month is £25 which seems a great deal for the amount of football that will be on offer.

Why don’t we give Dave the club. Why don’t we make him chairman? Make him supreme ruler of the town?
He is not above the law. He doesn't work for the club and does not work for any media outlet. He is a fan. Yes a loyal fan, but just a fan. No way on earth should he be given any special status and allowed in to the grounds when no other fan is allowed in. Its a daft and stupid idea. It is about as daft and stupid as he is.
If we allow the biggest fan in then why not allow the second? Then why not the third? Surly the fourth cant be far behind them so they can go too, and the fifth, sixth is a good lad and wears army pants too and called his kid a daft name so he can go too, and the seventh, and so on...
stupid. It is not one rule for one individual and a different for everyone else.
If the people saying Dave can do as he wishes, break all laws and defy all lockdown laws were also having a go at Cummings from breaking lockdown then you are hypocrites. You all need to get your head out of Dave’s arse. If he can go on the grounds then so can Cummings. Give your heads a wobble.

I’d have more respect for him if he actually said “out of respect for all those that have died, all those front line workers such as pharmacists, care home workers and even bin men who have kept us safe through all this............

I’ll be staying at home..........And will resume my amazing journey with all Clarets when we can officially take our seats once again”.

If a small number of fans are allowed into stadiums to watch the games, under strict conditions, then I would hope that Tony Scholes would be one of them, if he felt safe to do so. That way we would get a written record of the game in person rather than something just gleaned from the TV cameras. As he runs this site I would hope he would be given that privilege should he want to accept.

If it was my choice the people allowed into the ground for the away team would be very strictly limited to players, management and medical staff and a couple of registered journalists.

Nobody else needs to be inside the ground.

This far fetched idea from Dave Burnley is nothing more than an ill timed publicity stunt aimed at showing the sporting establishment that he is bigger and better than it. It is not about Burnley FC.

I hope he gets in because...

I’m happy when someone else succeeds particularly when they go above and beyond and DB has definitely gone above and beyond for over 40 years

It’s better than being all bitter, twisted and sanctimonious about something you can do nothing about.

Just like suggesting Franz Beckenbauer shouldn’t be watching Bayern, rather akin to not letting Bobby Charlton into Old Trafford (if he had stepped down as a director). It is obvious that people in the know will get into behind closed doors games....that’s life

As for anyone being offered a pass for the game not accepting it....do me a favour

Not sure why anyone ''deserves'' to be let in to watch games - even CT has said it himself, and wouldnt attend even if invited.

Not sure why such importance is being placed on a person attending games just because they have done so continuously for X years previous.

Yes it's a great personal achievement, but a record of no real significance or importance.

It is to him though, and that is the point.
Initially i thought no why should DB get special treatment, but given all the sacrifices he's made and the rubbish he's endured watching down the years, surely that's deserving of an exemption.

I hope the club can organise something to allow him to attend these home games, how it'll work for the away trips remains to be seen, but he's unique in BFC terms, and that's got to count for something surely.

Why don’t we give Dave the club. Why don’t we make him chairman? Make him supreme ruler of the town?
He is not above the law. He doesn't work for the club and does not work for any media outlet. He is a fan. Yes a loyal fan, but just a fan. No way on earth should he be given any special status and allowed in to the grounds when no other fan is allowed in. Its a daft and stupid idea. It is about as daft and stupid as he is.
If we allow the biggest fan in then why not allow the second? Then why not the third? Surly the fourth cant be far behind them so they can go too, and the fifth, sixth is a good lad and wears army pants too and called his kid a daft name so he can go too, and the seventh, and so on...
stupid. It is not one rule for one individual and a different for everyone else.
If the people saying Dave can do as he wishes, break all laws and defy all lockdown laws were also having a go at Cummings from breaking lockdown then you are hypocrites. You all need to get your head out of Dave’s arse. If he can go on the grounds then so can Cummings. Give your heads a wobble.
Daft and stupid? Get our heads out of Dave’s arse? It’s clear that certain heads are up a specific arse, and it ain’t Dave Burnley’s.

If it was my choice the people allowed into the ground for the away team would be very strictly limited to players, management and medical staff and a couple of registered journalists.

Nobody else needs to be inside the ground.

This far fetched idea from Dave Burnley is nothing more than an ill timed publicity stunt aimed at showing the sporting establishment that he is bigger and better than it. It is not about Burnley FC.

I would think it will have been the press that contacted DB not the other way round.

Judging my the number of replies on here it has been an interesting and popular story

Why should home clubs care about away supporters when the games are meant to be behind closed doors?

er how he'll manage to see the away games we have remaining.

Out of curiosity when it states Dave has never missed a game, does that include friendlies, because i'm pretty sure there's been occasions in pre-season when we've played 2 fixtures at the same time, so as devoted as Dave is even he can't have attended 2 venues at the same time.
Don't know about previous seasons but he certainly attended a half at both Crewe and Port Vale this pre-season.

They shouldn't, but we're constantly told we're all part of the footballing community, and with the size of the venues we're playing in, with our remaining away fixtures it should be perfectly possible for 1 lone diehard Claret to safely socially distance himself.

The smallest grounds we've still got to visit this season are Selhurst Park 25k, and Carrow Road 27k capacities, so there would be plenty of room to accommodate DB.

You'd think a forum such as this would celebrate fans like Dave , instead of lambasting him.

I don’t think many are lambasting him, just wanting the same rules to apply to everyone. You could easily fit 5k in the Etihad with full social distancing, but they aren’t because the game is behind closed doors.
