Burnley sold out their last few remaining tickets for Saturday's match at 9.30 this morning: just a few unclaimed season ticket holders seats were left. I have the pleasure of all my in-laws being rabid Burnley fans: as usual, we'll meet up at my mother-in-law's and travel to Turf Moor together.
To say this is their biggest game in years would be an understatement. Not since they won promotion back to the old Division 1 in 1971 (I think) has their town been so up for a game. Turf Moor is a good old-fashioned Lancashire ground and the atmosphere will be stunning. I hope we make a great start and quieten them down a bit, because at Turf Moor the crowd really is an extra player.
Oh, and they have the best, absolutely the best, pies.
