We’ll never live this down.

According to the “i” Newspaper Burnley came 8th in an assessment by marketing firm Ticketgum. The criteria were: the number of private schools & Waitrose shops in each club’s local authority area plus median house prices & gross annual pay.

Ahead of Burnley were Chelsea, Fulham, Spurs, Arsenal, Palace, Bournemouth, & Brighton !

So that’s 12 clubs that can’t sing that “Sh1thole” song any more.

I must have missed Burnley's Waitrose.

Is it disguised as a Morrisons?

Hang on, I'm just polishing me monocle....

No it’s called IDLA.

I’ve always thought we were a cut above. My chauffeur and Butler are both season ticket holders. Unfortunately the cleaning staff are philipinoes and don’t understand football. The Zhelicopter pilot is into Rugby. I knew Leisure when he was poor!!.

It’s 100% a close call between Luton & Burnley for which is the biggest shithole and it’s not even close.

All together now.....

Burnley Burnley

Rah Rah Rah !!

That makes a lot of sense !

The King is a Claret, that must move us to the top surely ?

Not many towns have THREE McDonald’s so we must be very special!

Burnley’s Morrison’s is disguised as a Sainsbury’s.

there's a newspaper that sounds trustworthy........

Wish I knew where this secret Waitrose was located. Save us from having to drive over to Walton Le Dale.

I say Burnley is a spiffing place to be ... in fact I've heard the CF Stand is very Spliffing on matchdays

The Longside Lower is pretty spliffing - in fact the CFS say it's not to be sniffed at.

^^^^ This is it.

Having the King as a verified supporter must have whacked up our mean average poshness by a regal score.

They clearly haven't used a standard deviation model.

And 5 train stations

And another of those revolting old working mens clubs has closed ( you know those places where people who sweat at work ,have dirty hands and black fillings)to be replaced by (almost) canal side mews flats with outstanding views of the cathedral quarter and the combined jewelers and fine wine emporium.

There is a Booths in Barrowford....! I'd like to see a link to this article.

It is an old Daily Mail story from last November

Yes, that's a valid geographical equivalent.

And on the craphole stakes, if you include a hinterland of X miles, then Liverpool and Everton would be in my bottom 3. Burnley has countryside within a few miles in most directions. The same distance from Anfield just takes you to more scouser houses. Croydon (Crystal Palace) makes up my bottom three.

I say old boy,...does Netto still have a store in Burnley.
I recall 3 at least.

I'm more than a little surprised that Leicester ranked in the top 21 PL clubs.

Hapton, Rosegrove, Burnley Central, Manchester Road Burnley Barracks , only a posh town has so many. That said i do get a bit fed up of tourists.

We are Burnley, Super Burnley, don't you know?
We are Burnley from the posh end of Lancashire

I'd have thought we'd be joint 19th with Luton.

Perhaps they put the pin in Barley not Burnley. It can't have been the usual Barnsley mistake.
