I know it is not going to be an easy Christmas for many of us but I would like to send my Christmas wishes to all of you, no matter who you are, no matter who you support. Please take care, stay safe and please let's all look forward to a better 2021.

Same to you Tony, all the best.

Likewise Tony.

And thanks for all your efforts moderating this board in what has been a difficult year.

Merry Christmas all.

All the best...

Thanks Tony, and 2nded and all the best everyone.

Good post Tony, hope everybody stays safe and we can get fans back in stadiums some time soon.

Best wishes to all for a safe and Happy Christmas.

Very best wishes CT for Christmas and the very best of health for the New Year. Heres to an upsurge of points going forwards

All the best to you too, Tony. Lovely message.

I consider myself to be very fortunate as to the life I'm living at present. I will be thinking of others not so fortunate as I around this time whatever their situation, background or circumstance. It has been a horrendous year and I just hope that for those on their own are able to stay positive, strong and with a future to look forward to. Sending out all my love to you all.

Festive greetings to all our Claret family all over the world.

Merry Christmas everybody, be sensible, stay safe and lets all look forward to better times next year.

All the best Tony, onwards and upwards old friend.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope we can all stay safe and look forward to a happier and healthier 2021.

I would particularly like to thank you for your dedication and diligence in keeping the youth & U23 football reports, information, tables and fixtures up to date and your steadfastness in promoting the development of this area.

I also think you have done a great job with the food banks too

Hope you have a good Christmas.

Thank you, CT, a lovely message. This is just for you -

A very Happy Christmas to you Tony and Clarets everywhere .
Hope 2021 is a much better year for everyone.
Stay Safe
Up the Clarets.

Merry Christmas to you too Tony. Do try and get out for those walks everyday if you can won't you, even if it's raining, it will do your mental health the world of good. I know it won't be the same for you this year not seeing your family but hopefully you can speak with them regularly via zoom, it will help. It's important that we all keep in touch on this message board even on Christmas Day, without it we'd be lost souls, so on behalf of my family and others thank you for what you've done and continue to do it's very much appreciated by us all. Best wishes and keep safe.

Best wishes to you Tony. Thank you for your reports and news. I also wish you a Happy New Year. We all hope that you can soon see the Clarets live on the Turf. No-one deserves it more than you.

Best wishes to you and hope it’s a happy New Year. UTC.

..and to you, Tony and, indeed, all on here.

Hope you all stay safe and well and we can all get back to the Turf at some point in 2021.

Have a good one, all

Best wishes to you Tony. Thank you for all the work you and the mods do at keeping this MB sane.
It’s been a terrible year, but all this will pass. Better times are coming.
Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas, from both of us, to Clarets everywhere. Thanks CT for the articles and info and thanks to all the mods for their work in controlling this madhouse.

Nice one CT, best wishes to you also.

Have a good one Clarets, look forward to meeting you all next year.

Many thanks for your greetings Tony and many thanks too for all your work with Up The Clarets, always an interesting board to read on a daily basis.
Best Wishes to you for as good a Christmas as possible in the circumstances and, as the Germans say, einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr 2021 !!
2021 can certainly not be worse than 2020 !! As well as myself, the Black Forest Clarets have missed their trips to Turf Moor, especially for the Christmas and New Year fixtures.

Merry Christmas CT, the mods and all the other UTC posters, it's been a trying year for everyone, but there is signs of hope in the future, and the upturn in form by the Clarets, will surely raise spirits amongst us all.

I'm just thankful that I've still got my job, I'm well aware many others aren't as fortunate, and I wish you a much better 2021, as the song goes things can only get better.

Here's to plenty of points for the Clarets over the next couple of weeks. All being well I may manage to get on the turf in 2021 for the 1st time in decades.

Finally a shout out for all those who will still be working during the holiday period, well the rest of us are gorging on mince pies and mulled wine, if this year has shown anything it's shown who the really key members of society are, and their commitment in the face of adversity shouldn't be forgotten.

That’s good advice for stabilising the serotonin whatever the elements you need to motivate yourself to reap the rewards.

Merry Christmas, everyone. Similarly to those who enjoy other seasonal holiday festivals and celebrations!

Claret Tony, great thread. Have a great Christmas.

I've liked a few of the other posts above - showing my appreciation for the messages expressed.

I guess I've also got to add (before some picks me up for not including...)

Exciting times

Season's greetings to everyone and thanks to Tony and the mods for running the board in these (and all) trying times. Stay true, stay Claret and Blue.

Merry Christmas and all the best to all Clarets young and old, far and wide.

Merry Christmas to all posters.

Happy Christmas to everyone on this board. Happy Christmas to the mods who’ve had a tough job on their hands since March keeping everything in order. This board will always be the first website I visit in the morning, the last one before bed. It’s brilliant.

I hope next year we can all sample the atmosphere in that wonderful stadium again, and that we can celebrate another season in the PL.

Best wishes one and all. Thanks for running a great site Tony.

Lovely message and Christmas card Tony. A very happy Christmas to you too and all Clarets round the globe. And a very big thank you for keeping this board alive in spite of all the difficulties you have had throughout the year.

Stay safe all, and let's hope that 2021 brings back a semblance of normality to our lives - and of course success to BFC both on and off the pitch!

Happy Christmas: God Bless us One and All

Yes, Merry Christmas to everyone!

A Merry Christmas to you, CT.
Thanks for your hard work on this MB, most welcome in these difficult times.

And a Happy Christmas to Clarets everywhere around the world!

Thank you, Tony for your message and for all your work on this Board. Have as good a Christmas as you can and a better New Year for all. Best wishes to all my fellow Clarets.

Merry christmas CT
Merry christmas everyone and lets hope for a better new year for all

Best wishes to you Tony (and the other of Tony's little helpers) for providing this platform. Its much more than a football forum. Its a social lifeline for many of us who all support the clarets but have many other things they wish to express and discuss. Its not an exaggeration to say many lives are improved by this forum and would be diminished if it was no longer there.

To everyone who contributes you are members of one of the most elite, glorious, supportive, daft, sometimes rude clubs in the world. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Tony and a Happy New year mate.
This years certainly been one to forget - things can and will only get better.
UP THE CLARETS

Best wishes CT and Merry Christmas one and all.

Merry Christmas Tony.
Stay well and a Merry Christmas to one and all here in the the Beehole end and UTC

Merry Christmas to one and all !

Merry Christmas to you Tony Scholes and all other Ckarets wherever you are. 2020 has been grim and there are still hard times ahead. But we have to remember that compared to nearly half of the world’s population we are lucky people. We have homes and food and comforts and we support the clarets!
