Could anyone advise me on the best way to get a shirt signed? I'm presuming it is just like I did when I was a kid and hang around at Gawthorpe and catch them on the way in/out. If that is still the best way, I don't suppose anyone knows when they train?!
Thanks for any help!

Re: Getting a shirt signed and training days
You can’t go in now I don’t think so all you can do is hang around outside and hope they stop as they drive out.up_the_clarets_1989 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 12:38 pmCould anyone advise me on the best way to get a shirt signed?

Yeah wait at the turning before the gates, most players stop all the time if you wave at them.

Used to be able to buy them for around £150 (i bought one for £100 in 2006/07) at the club shop a few years back, but not seen such an offer for a long time unfortunately.

Cheers everyone. I thought that would be the case. Only live round corner from Gawthorpe so I'll keep wandering down and hope I get lucky!

If you’ve access to a child take them with you.
They may be more likely to stop and sign for them than an adult

Re: Getting a shirt signed and training days
The players are genuinely brilliant with the kids that wait outside the training centre. I saw two last season with huge grins after being given a boot each from Hannibal.

Re: Getting a shirt signed and training days
I remember walking past Gawthorpe one day a good few year ago and Brain Easton was outside, as I got close he held up a sign asking for my shirt
