Blackpool Clarets
Blackpool Clarets
My mate told me he’d been rushed back into Blackpool Victoria Hospital at midnight on Friday. After some sleep, he went into bathroom and had wash and changed into his Burnley T shirt. On his return to the 4 bed ward, one of the patients asked him, if he is a Claret, his thought was, he’s going to a Bstd fan. But before he could reply the other person said, so am I and a season ticket holder. Another 1 of the other 2 said, that’s 3 of us, I’m a Claret as well.

Re: Blackpool Clarets
I would say best not visit Blackpool if you are a Claret as you could end up in hospital .......

Re: Blackpool Clarets
It's probably the stress of being a claret. Best to look for another hobby!

I live so close to Ewood I can see it from my back garden. I didn't realise this when buying the house in July until the bloody leaves fell off the trees behind us a few month later. Wiped thousands off the value!
Anyway, amazingly, we have neighbours either side who are clarets too. We're like a squadron behind enemy lines!

Tribesman, my mate wasn’t visiting the town, he is a resident of the Blackpool area.

Personally I refuse to go to blackburn where possible. I had physio near the town centre over a month and it annoyed me having to pay to park there

Re: Blackpool Clarets
I was born and raised in Burnley, but my mum was from Blackburn so I got sent to a Blackburn school, which led to me meeting my Blackburn-based wife... now here I am!

Re: Blackpool Clarets
I was chatting to a few fellow Clarets who live in Blackpool on the train home after the Luton game. They mentioned that there used to be a proper Fylde Coast Supporters Club. Shame that it does not exist anymore, as there seems to be plenty of us round here.
