Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
Back in August before my diet/weight loss began I was exactly what the article said, 16st 3lb with a 41 inch waistline!
Now, luckily, I have gone down to 15st 5lb but still enjoy a few pints and a pie on matchday.

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
Interesting. The author has managed to create a top 5 with only 4 teams!!!
All seems a bit ridiculous. I'd wager at least half of fans have a max of 2 beers. That leaves the other half reaching Andy Fordham levels of booze... sorry. But I just don't buy it.

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
I was above the 'Burnley' average back around 14 years ago but last year dropped to just over 12st. Gone back up a little bit since though.
Pies cancelled from now.

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
The surprising thing would be if there were more than a handful of people gullible/thick enough to believe these stats (average weights, average pints drunk and average pies consumed) had any basis in reality.
Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
The article writer can't count. it mentions Burnley and then three other clubs 'to make up the top five.'

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
It is not all about Beer which piles on the pounds.
Not eating vegetables and fruit and having many take away meals plus hardly any exercise, that is the reason for putting on weight.

Burnley having the fattest fans must be true if it's in The Sun. I'm sure they apply due diligence when researching website polls.

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
Those of a 'certain size', knock on the green folding gates and the stewards let them in. They then go to a turnstile and their ticket is validated from inside the ground.Bordeauxclaret wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 2:30 pmI always wonder that about the turnstiles in The Bob Lord.

I hope they got the Livepool fact correct they have been known to print a few untruths about Liverpool fans .
Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
That reminds me Ian of an old tale I once heard:
It was a dark and stormy night. Three brigands sat round a camp fire and one of them said to the other, "Hey Joe... Tale us a tale."... And so the tale began: It was a dark and stormy night. Three brigands sat round a campfire and one them said to the other "I think I must be drunk because I can see two of you."

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
Who submitted their weight for this survey? I know I've not been asked or weighed.
Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
In which paper was that published in, was it the times guardian or telegraph?
Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
10 beers and three pies ?
Lightweights.

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
I think the people that did the survey had an "I speak your weight " machine ...
I stood on it and it said "only one person at a time please"

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
Sorry guys...it was me. I'm 16st 3..41 inch waist and I love Hollands Pies so much I always have 3 before the teams come out and knock them back with 3 pints. 2 more at half time (only 1 now with the chaotic waiting times). 4 pre match pints in the Miners and then one for the road after the game.Is that not normal? I only told a guy who randomly rang me up. Oops

Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
Weight is about what you eat and exercise.
Maybe Burnley fans don't get enough exercise - little to get up and be exited about!
See, it's all Dyche's fault. If he played Potter football we'd be as thin as Brighton fans. Interesting to know if they rivalled us for size when Hughton was there.

Sadly, being overweight means a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes type 2, stroke, liver disease, some cancers and possibly depression.
Re: Burnley have the fattest fans
It's pies and beer and bellies cos that pulls the pigs on stilts, that's what they want.
Blame Einstein.
They read, they thought, they acted and all became petite and thin by human relativity.
