But I am not asian and quite clearly my daughter and my wife are not Asian, so why ask the question?Superbia said:
My son is 14 years old 12 years when it happened by grown men (men is plural for man, meaning more than one)
No one has accused YOU your family friends neighbours as being strange. Unless you are of course from around these parts in which case you are proving my arguement

Because it would quite clearly be discrimination to ask the question of only one group, as with any questions on generic surveys etc.
Just find it laughable that so many people are saying avoid Burnley as it is a horrible place but from the safety of behind the keyboard, roll out the same tired crap of the locals being strange, unintelligent, in bred and so on - thought City fans were more original in their humour.
A bit of banter is fine but constant I do find insulting, and if it's wrong to get defensive than so be it, I've never refrained from being defensive about my team so why should I about my town?

Come on, lighten up a bit....
I live nobbut a cock stride away from Turf Moor, used to run a business in the town for several years, and one of my sons is a Burnley season ticket holder.....it's only a bit of fun........

As I said banter is fine, but it's the predictability that bores me. And the assumption that anyone who lives in Burnley is a complete fuck up. Plus it seems the criticism of Burnley fans behaviour is a tad unfair if they are expected to be accused of all and sundry and just sit and toothlessly grin about it while stroking their whippets.
City get accused of plenty of things by various clubs - recently had a difficult discussion with an everton fan over an unfortunate incident where his daughter was injured, but if we all get tarred with the same brush there's an outcry.

what a load of bollocks,i own a number of franchise stores for a well known coffee shop brand one in the shopping centre in Burnley.The locals are brilliant and everybody is passionate about the football club, in my opinion they will be a sad loss to the premier league compared to the likes of,wigan,blackburn,bolton,hull whos support is absolutly sh---e.Its a pity we didnt loan them Weiss,Ireland,Benjani etc.We are going tomorrow night with a load of staff in the Burnley end and cant bloody wait !

I don't think anyone can doubt the passion Burnley folk have for their team, even years ago, they used to draw 11/13,000, when Bury/Rochdale, which are similar sized towns, struggled to pull in 2,000.
It is still like Hicksville though, compared to nearby towns. Burnley folk even have their own unique accent, which is completely different to say Rossendale, five miles away, in the same way as a Hyde one is different to Stalybridge.

I was speaking to someone who was at the game with Blackburn last week and he said it got quite tasty and the Police told the pubs to close the doors; locking in those who were in already, and stopping others going in. Apparently it was all the pubs near the ground.
But I'm sure their hatred for t'Rovers is bigger than for us, so I doubt much trouble....though if you are scared I will do the honourable thing and buy your ticket off you.
That said, I went in a pub there before a game a few seasons back and it was the Suicide Squad pub. We drank our drinks and left, quickly sprinting. Stopped about 100 yards away and they were just coming out after us. They saw we'd gone and went back in!

Why do people always put the frightners on away games?? Nothing will happen?
My best mate is in the East Lancs police (and a massive city fan), and always does the away end at burnley and after the game. He says nothing happens because there are too many police about.
He told me the best place to go for a drink is anywhere in the town center, and you will have no worries at all. And near the ground to go in the Cricket Ground where they let both sets of fans in.
Now everyone who reckons it's gona kick off your mistaken.

Fair question, and I'll try to answer it.
I'll start by saying I've nothing against Burnley, it is surrounded by some of the
nicest countryside in Lancashire, Cliviger, Pendle Witch country etc, but I just find the locals a bit "strange",... perhaps insular is a better word.
In my business, I come into daily dealings with people from Accrington, Clitheroe, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Wigan etc, and Burnley folk are definitely a breed apart, I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but I really think Burnley is the land time forgot.........:-))
All (imho) and no offence intended....<br /><br />-- Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:59 am --<br /><br />

this year we left very early and got a taxi back to the station
