Bfc Missionary Work in Hong Kong

I already posted this on a couple of FB groups but, as I mentioned in an old post, after the Chelsea result I told my colleagues here in HK that I'd buy them all Burnley shirts if we finished top 10.

They always laughed (or looked blank) when I told them I supported Burnley but they've really turned around since.

Couple of clarets out here have been in touch too so we'll keep it going. UTC

I've got a good mate who moved back over there a few years ago. He lived in Sheffield so I took him to Bramall Lane for the crazy 3-3 under Laws. He loved the Burnley fans.

So if by any chance a lad called Ling Leung spots the shirt and talks to you, tell him I say hello.

I see the lad on bottom row in the middle, has already showed too much passion for the Lancs Constabulary on his first visit to t'Turf...

I should also mention that when I told the chap I was ordering from, what it was for and how many I wanted (more than in the photo) BFC said they'd lower the delivery fee.

We support a hell of a club folks. Can't think of many others who would offer that off their own bat.

Im going to be in Hong Kong next month for 4 days. I'd be happy to meet up for a beer. I could bring some Burnley stuff with me to give to your pals.e.g. flag, scarf,badges.

When are you turning up and where are you staying? Would be great to meet up, a group of us are watching the England match at Momentai in Sai kung on the 24th June.

Thanks for the offer of Claret goodies, really good of you man. Would be fantastic but will leave it up to you. I could use them as prizes at school and begin my pitch to the students ;)

Hi Soclaretes, I'm staying in Kowloon from 7 till 11 July. I have a few things I can bring with me that you could share with your school.

Have any of them got to the stage where they'll watch a Burnley game with you too?

That's very kind of you mate, beers on me when you can meet up. Not sure how familiar you are with HK but I'd suggest either The Dockyard in Hung Hom (close to Kowloon) or, if you fancy exploring, Momentai in Sai Kung. Both good beer and food places.

Give me a shout via Email gareth@hkgrowspace.com and I'll see you then

work and sleep, work and sleep, repeat. That's pretty much what these chaps do. I'm working up to it but most games are on 11pm+ here so very little chance of them joining. I may buy the season highlight DVD and play it in class as an "English culture and language exposure resource". ;)

Excellent work. I make this my mission wherever I go. Great to see. And have dished out tonnes of shirts in Italy, Germany, Serbia, Gambia, Tanzania, India, Czech Rep, Montenegro, Holland, Macedonia, Cuba (to a blackburn shirt wearing local), Egypt and countless others.

Its our calling 8-)
