Letter from a Burnley fan

Last updated : 14 November 2008 By Paul Lagan
The following is a letter posted on our messgaboard following our defeat by Burnley.
It's from a Burnley fan and I think it should be shared with the wider footballing world.
I'm sure our friend won't mind.



From claretfingaz ...

"Wotchya Lads! I would just like to say a very big THANKYOU to all you fellas who have given us so much help & advice in the last few weeks.
You guys are what we call up north "Absolutely Top Drawer".
The welcome and respect given to us from the Chelsea Fans, the old bill, the stewards, the pub landlords and landladys and all connected with Chelsea was brilliant - I have never known anything quite like it @ an away match & I know what I am talking about because I have travelled the length & breadth of Britain to watch my beloved team.

Your fans are a credit to you, the Premiership and the rest of the footballing world.
As for the statement from my friend claretsnut which was: "We all had a fantastic night We are all in seventh heaven up here but perhaps that's our greatest compliment to you because beating one of the best teams in Europe, if not the world, is quite something for us."

I would like to reiterate those exact words beause I couldn't have put it better myself.
I have made a few friends in Chelsea fans after sharing drinks with them & swapping phone numbers so hopefully we can stay in touch as you now have another fan within your ranks.

Good luck with the rest of your season & i am sure you will continue to dominate the Premiership & hopefully Europe for many years to come.

Take Care Lads, Good Luck & I hope we can stay in touch.
PS your ground is "AWESOME" & the "CHELSEA CHICKS" in the Slug & lettuce are......let's just say i am arranging my new moving & living arrangements as we speak although unfortunately Lady Fingaz may have something to say on the matter so I may have to put it on the back burner for now

Seriously Fellas Thanks Again and Look After Yourselves.
Best Wishes & Kind Regards
Claretfingaztherebelspirit

ALSO I would like to apologise on behalf of everybody connected with Burnley Fc for the stupid idiotic person who black marked a memorable night by throwing coins @ Didier Drogba....He will be HUNTED DOWN, KNOCKED OUT & SENT TO YOU VIA D.H.L.
Take Care Lads.
