Where are Clarets fans from outside of Burnley?
I am Rawtenstall born and bred.
My dad took me to Turf Moor for my 7th birthday in 1960.
Massive true Claret ever since. Hitch hiked & Ellen Smith coaches everywhere to away matches.
Be interesting for fans to see how others were first indoctrinated as a Claret from Burnley and elsewhere.

I now live in Bournemouth but went up to Burnley for Monday's game via the Rhondda to pick up my 9 year old grandson. He's now a Claret but has no connection with Burnley, apart from me . It's made him very popular with his Cardiff supporting friends!

Re: Where are Clarets fans from outside of Burnley?
Been a Burnley fan for 55 years when I was approximately nine or 10 years old lived most of my life in Southeast England Sussex. 2014 to 20 20 lived in southern Ireland.
People asked me why do you support Burnley because I have no relatives there or ever had no connection whatsoever and I answer that it was the first team that I started liking and cheering on and once it’s in your blood that’s it you stick with the team don’t you.
The first match I went to was Charlton versus Burnley in the 70s Burnley lost two nil and then some crowd trouble.
I really love the team with Leighton James David Thomas et cetera Martin Dobson.
I really enjoyed the dice era and now VK!
I’m so proud to be a Burnley fan even though I have no connection and perhaps shouldn’t be a claret-but I am very proud one.
Now live in W Sussex near Chichester and find the journey to Turf Moor challenging in a day (12 hours driving) but manage to get to local away games

Born in Colne (Langroyd Hall,) brought up in Barnoldswick and now live in Hornsea East Yorks, (several addresses in-between including Bermuda,) but always a claret since 1959 ( as my user name tells.) Never wavered from being a Claret , my only club.
(I do sometimes wish more credit was given to ;distance fans, who make the club known in other parts of the UK and wider world.)
