It probably depends which day of the week it is.

I only drive mine on Thursdays.

Possibly Defour, he's a Rolls Royce of a footballer.

Agreed, I am normally walking into the ground as they arrive. I saw Defour and his wife and I think two kids a few games ago. But normally see a couple of players arriving.

They all have expensive cars. Lots of them had Audi Q7's but they seem to have been dumped for Range Rovers, BMW 4X4's and Bentleys. There are also a couple of expensive Merc AMG's

There's a bloke called Mark Pryke who sorts out cars for a load of footballers, his testimonials page is here: http://www.s14viplimited.co.uk/testimon ... eague.html

A couple of years old, but a lot of AMGs going around.

A mate of mine has Alex Elders car from when he played. A black Vauxhall Victor. It is in pristine condition, he takes it around the car shows. Maybe not a Merc or a Range Rover but still a head turner.

Andre Gray has a Merc AMG. Last 3 letters of the reg are 'DRE'. Seen him a few times at Knutsford services after a game.

When I was a kid autograph collecting down Gawthorpe Colin Blant dropped me off on his way home to Rawtenstall after training in his clapped out Ford Anglia. How times I have changed.

So utterly predictable though.
All one or two makes and all either black, white or matte grey.

I'm not sure he'd be there last night, but Kightly had a white Bentley easily identified by the KI8 HTS reg.

How times and attitudes change very quickly.
A few short years ago anyone daring to be seen within 10 miles of Turf Moor driving a Bentley would have been labelled a 'flash southern tw*t' or similar.
Now they are more common than a Ford Fiesta :lol:

Only my personal opinion but well done Ash Barnes for retaining some sense of normality.

If I had a hugely expensive car, I would leave it in the garage and use a Smart car when parking at Turf Moor.

So we don't have a sponsorship deal with a car maker yet then?

Was in Chelsea training ground recently and it's like an Audi showroom as they supply them. Only a couple of cars weren't Audis, and yeah predictably almost all black or dark grey etc.
