Burnley have the fattest fans

[PadihamThickNeck]

[Winstonswhite]

16st 3!

How can Brighton fans average 9st 6??!

[claretburns]

Back in August before my diet/weight loss began I was exactly what the article said, 16st 3lb with a 41 inch waistline!

Now, luckily, I have gone down to 15st 5lb but still enjoy a few pints and a pie on matchday.

Did they only weigh the women and kids at Brighton????

[Bosscat]

I see you read the "quality" Newspapers PTN ...

Although it wasn't long ago the Arsenil topped the list

Also if we have the fattest fans how come its always the M and L shirts that sell out 1st ... look on the website and the 4, 5 and 6XL are the ones left on the shelves ... also heres a chap doing his damnedest to get Newcastle top of the league

No, that was what they did at the Turf

[Roosterbooster]

Interesting. The author has managed to create a top 5 with only 4 teams!!!

All seems a bit ridiculous. I'd wager at least half of fans have a max of 2 beers. That leaves the other half reaching Andy Fordham levels of booze... sorry. But I just don't buy it.

He probably couldn't fit all 5 in

[ClaretTony]

I was above the 'Burnley' average back around 14 years ago but last year dropped to just over 12st. Gone back up a little bit since though.

Pies cancelled from now.

[fatboy47]

Brighton lot couldn't drink 7 pints between them, let alone each.

I didn’t take it mate, I don’t read any newspapers.

[minnieclaret]

Is this what causes the delays at the turnstiles?

[Spike]

Labour paid Campbell too much if he could afford 3 pies

[LeadBelly]

The surprising thing would be if there were more than a handful of people gullible/thick enough to believe these stats (average weights, average pints drunk and average pies consumed) had any basis in reality.

[Pstotto]

The article writer can't count. it mentions Burnley and then three other clubs 'to make up the top five.'

[Bordeauxclaret]

I always wonder that about the turnstiles in The Bob Lord. Not sure how a big person gets through them.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

It is not all about Beer which piles on the pounds.
Not eating vegetables and fruit and having many take away meals plus hardly any exercise, that is the reason for putting on weight.

That's why everyone looks so old in there. It's taken some of them 40 years to squeeze through

[Zom Zom]

Brighton are lightweights. Fizzy spring water and tofu sandwiches.

[Backofthenet]

I always thought they narrowed those turnstiles every summer !!

[Billy Balfour]

Burnley having the fattest fans must be true if it's in The Sun. I'm sure they apply due diligence when researching website polls.

[SalisburyClaret]

In Brighton they have an extra small Twix

Those of a 'certain size', knock on the green folding gates and the stewards let them in. They then go to a turnstile and their ticket is validated from inside the ground.

[AlargeClaret]

Tbf that’s about 80% of their fans ..

Bloomin heck.......how big are they..iam not small, probably fit into what the sun say is fat..and i manage ok.

Awful sofa

[evensteadiereddie]

And after a generation of much vaunted "levelling up", we'll all be leading healthy, well-balanced, well-educated lives, irrespective of your postcode.


As if....

[Chobulous]

Obviously we are all so fat we count as 2 out of the top 5

[IanMcL]

I suspect he put two and two together!

[Belial]

I'd love to koiw how many fans were (allegedly) interviewed for this BS

[rufus lumley]

I hope they got the Livepool fact correct they have been known to print a few untruths about Liverpool fans .

[Pstotto]

That reminds me Ian of an old tale I once heard:

It was a dark and stormy night. Three brigands sat round a camp fire and one of them said to the other, "Hey Joe... Tale us a tale."... And so the tale began: It was a dark and stormy night. Three brigands sat round a campfire and one them said to the other "I think I must be drunk because I can see two of you."

We win all the bestest awards!!

[Rowls]

Who submitted their weight for this survey? I know I've not been asked or weighed.

[Bigvince]

In which paper was that published in, was it the times guardian or telegraph?

[bfcjg]

10 beers and three pies ?
Lightweights.

[Bosscat]

I think the people that did the survey had an "I speak your weight " machine ...

I stood on it and it said "only one person at a time please"

[NewClaret]

Don’t know what this is on about. I strictly restrict myself to two pies per game!!

[minnieclaret]

I’ve corrected the OP thread title.

[superdimitri]

You don't weigh much when you're made of plastic.

[Somethingfishy]

Sorry guys...it was me. I'm 16st 3..41 inch waist and I love Hollands Pies so much I always have 3 before the teams come out and knock them back with 3 pints. 2 more at half time (only 1 now with the chaotic waiting times). 4 pre match pints in the Miners and then one for the road after the game.Is that not normal? I only told a guy who randomly rang me up. Oops

[Local cricketer]

Puts a new meaning on the big 6

[Hipper]

Weight is about what you eat and exercise.

Maybe Burnley fans don't get enough exercise - little to get up and be exited about!

See, it's all Dyche's fault. If he played Potter football we'd be as thin as Brighton fans. Interesting to know if they rivalled us for size when Hughton was there.

[claretonthecoast1882]

The club aren't going to stock size 6xl for no reason

[fatboy47]

I wasn't asked.

Excellent point Rowls, probably pure speculation.

[LoveCurryPies]

Sadly, being overweight means a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes type 2, stroke, liver disease, some cancers and possibly depression.

[Pstotto]

It's pies and beer and bellies cos that pulls the pigs on stilts, that's what they want.

Blame Einstein.

They read, they thought, they acted and all became petite and thin by human relativity.
