Burnley's saving grace is they freely admit they chose Claret & Blue as their kit in homage to the Villa team yonks ago, that won everything in sight.

Unlike the kit stealers, when many ill-informed numpties would have you believe where in Claret & Blue before the original and the best.

My feed kept cutting to a bloke in the crowd who seemed to be a celebrity Burnley fan. He seemed vaguely familiar.

Excellent work DW.  I think they could claim David Cameron as a virtual supporter on the grounds that all teams that play in claret and blue are the same to him.  The team he was once taken to see as a boy toff.

Right, thanks. Not really followed cricket since Dermot Reeve was playing.
