Does Bacup have a massive claret fanbase?

[Untinted Glasses]

Every time we used to be on tv, the around the town cameras would do an interview with people who looked like they belonged on something like wrong turn or the hills have eyes. I was absolutely positive they were picking these people out on purpose for a dig at Burnley people.
However today whilst admittedly watching on sky, every time the ball went into the crowd, it was the same images coming back. Ref hills have eyes, wrong turn, deliverance etc. Now the ball going out is completely random and could not have been planned at all. It lead me to thinking, do Bacup have a massive claret fan club?

We had a family draw and they won, is it news that we’re all inbred around here?

Not Bacup...more like Nelson.

[Dark Cloud]

Yes.

Full of normal folk in Burnley

I seriously think they scour the crowds and pan to the funniest looking person they see

[Bosscat]

Are you sure it wasn't the Leeds contingent being filmed and interviewed (who had blagged tickets in the JMU /NSU) ... a few on our Row definitely looked like extra's from Deliverance and hadn't a clue where they were going

In answer to your original question…. Yes Bacup is mainly claret. As for the inbred insinuation it is not in the slightest funny or original.

I agree it’s poor form

It would be interesting to know where the OP lives? I note he said he watched it on Sky. Perhaps he lives too far away or was busy grooming himself prior to watching it on tv to preserve his membership of the Aryan race? Either way, he wasn’t at the Turf for the cameras to pan onto his perfect form. Part time or no time supporter and a D1ck.

Are you suggesting sky hasn’t landed in Burnley yet ?

Well if he was watching the match on Sky in Burnley, I would disregard anything he has to say…….he should have been on the match.

All I’m doing is pointing out in a round about sort of way that without doubt the Burnley fans are the ugliest I’ve seen on tv . This I consider to be a fact. We’re one ugly bunch

There was a survey last year that dispelled that myth. Burnley actually came in the top 6 of sexiest fans. Attached link https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/footb ... 573776.amp

Not sure why I remember nonsense like this though

Speak for yourself, Quasi.

I feel sorry for the middle-aged Southampton couple in the photo. There they are, supporting their team and next news they're being ridiculed in that utter shitsheet of a 'newspaper'.

[Holmeclaret]

And so is the reference to Nelson above. No need for it whatsoever.

[Dike Muff]

Bacup; too many people, not enough surnames.

[superdimitri]

They did seem to deliberately pick up on some lookers in the crowd. Cameraman must have been a rovers fan.

[Billy Balfour]

There would have been photos of police horses.

A Royal Marine sergeant told me he once drove through Bacup....he said Planet Of The Apes sprung to mind.

I wasn’t aware the Royal Marines were involved in that conflict.

I used to have a girlfriend from Bacup. Reet northern name: Braithwaite. She was a good lass.

Leave Bacup alone, its a good Lancashire town. Its our supporters from Todmorden, a Yorkshire town, that we should be most concerned about due to the fact that it recognized as the incest capital of the UK. From a report in Yorkshire Examiner 2016. Always said there's something about Yorkshire folk.
