New Claret induction completed

[ClaretAL]

Hi all, I'm not sure if this will work, but my Grandson attended his first match against Spurs and now a fully fledged Claret. I wish we had all the technology we have now when it was my first match, to capture that look of WOW when you first get in the Turf

[ClaretAL]

Obviously not then, video to follow...

He will never forget that day! Always a special time and, despite it being over 65 years ago, I can still remember the excitement and being overawed when seeing the crowd and the noise was unbelievable.
Your grandson will be talking about it for ages!

Totally agree. I still remember the first glimpse inside the ground.

Good luck young man I hope you enjoyed it and have many more happy days there. Your first visit will stay in your memory for ever.

After seeing your posts ClaretAL regarding your wife passing away, it is great to see you looking well and making lifelong memories with your grandson. I hope you all enjoyed the day, that first half will see him wanting to come back for more!

Thanks Claretburns. With losing my wife, it kind of puts things firmly in perspective around priorities, and yes he is already asking. As soon as I can get 3 seats near to where my son and I have our season ticket, I will get him a season ticket, but don't want to move too far from where our seats are now as been there for years.

A special day for him and a fantastic read and watch for us on here.

Sir Bobby Robson was absolutely spot on.

Brilliant facial expression on seeing the ground/pitch for the first time

I remember bringing my son on't Turf when he was only 4 (he's now 32).
It was against Brighton and we lost 1-2 but the noise when we scored frightened him to death and I thought he would never want to come again, but he couldn't stop talking about it to his mum when we got home
Fast forward 28 years and he's still a season ticket holder, just like his old dad.
Good luck bringing your grandson ClaretAl, once they've been bitten.....

WOW couldn't have put it better, and the 3 generations sat there that night was an immensely proud moment.

Brilliant video. I still get excited when I see a floodlit football pitch (especially Turf Moor) and I'm 60 !

Can relate to that and I was close to tears when I went on the Liverpool game last season having been away for so long.

Football isn’t football without walking towards the flood lit ground in the distanced, 47 layers, 17 pairs if socks, wet through, shivering like a shitting dog and finally walking up the steps to see what appears to be a fluorescent pitch. Nights games are special. Colder, wetter the better.

Took my boy to his first games, this season, at the age of 5. He's done better than expected, maintaining attention for most of the game.

There are no words to describe the pride I have when he broke into his first 'Come on Burnley' chant.

[Rowls]

Great photos ClaretAl, thanks for sharing. Brought a giant smile to my face.

Hope you enjoy many happy years watching together.

Same for me. My 5-year old has been to two games (would have been three but he was poorly on Saturday) and he's hooked. He walks round the house shouting "Burnley" and "Maxwel".

Great pics and vid ClaretAl, glad your grandson enjoyed his first visit to The Turf.

My grandson (9) has his first ST this season sat with me and there's something very special about seeing his expressions and just sharing the whole matchday experience with him (though sadly neither of us could be there this Saturday)

[expoultryboy]

Nice one ClaretAl , you can tell by the look on his face it's a day he'll never forget . None of us needed modern technology , our first visit to the turf will be stored in our memory forever . I was lucky just like your grandson it was a night match ( Eintracht Frankfurt ) , and seeing the pitch/ground under floodlights was awesome.

[Buxtonclaret]

Brilliant thread, this.

[lewishamclaret]

Fantastic

[spadesclaret]

A wonderful little story. The look on that little lad's face is something to treasure.
