In true Burnley FC 23-24 fashion, the club tagged the wrong Uphold account in the original tweet, they've corrected it now.

It is like the old Stealer’s Wheel record at Burnley FC. ………… Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
However with regard to our super LED’s I can give you a more modern tune……… The Weeknd, Blinding Lights.

I really hope these tickets are won by two Liverpool fans to sit in the home end

Isn't this just another Monzo / Revolut style card? Provides a range of services, but is mainly a good way of paying in different currencies?
The investment tools are the same as any share / crypto investment warnings - of which there's a myriad of options for people to use?
I think the club gets plenty wrong, and that it remains perilous financially, but I don't think there's much to shake a stick at here in reality. It's not, from what I can see from a cursory glance anyway, a high interest credit card product.

I'm sure my Dad used to have a Burnley FC Credit Card, it was back in the early 2000s

They did have them through MBNA (I think) in very early 2000s.

And some will have you believe we have a good social media team

Would the social media team just put out the details they were given by someone else, who gave them a wrong twitter account, which has since be corrected?

I missed another tune here……… Amateur Hour by Sparks! The amateur hour goes on and on ready to go ……..
Another good one would be Spandau Ballet…….. communication let me down.

Not one hundred %, however, almost certainly a yes.
MBNA did lots of those 'Organisation' cards at that time, so MBNA a sound thought.

If we're dead set on having a crypto sponsor then I'd rather a something like an established exchange rather than one pushing NFTs or, even worse, selling tokens in exchange for fans being able to have their say.
