If there’s one phrase that irritates the hell out of me (just as much as careful what you wish for) then it’s the childhood classic, ‘there are others worse off’, which I guess these days would be largely replaced by ‘first world problems.
After becoming aware of the snow in Burnley, earlier today, I took comfort in the Met Office forecast, which indicated the game was unlikely to be called off. Then the game was pulled and I was annoyed.
Then I spotted these two pilgrims and the annoyance subsided a little.
31 one hours is some haul, even if the game did take place.
At least the superfans are with fellow supporters and getting stuck into some match-day booze.
Good luck!
Yup, seen the Kane invite post now.
Doh! Just saw the Kane invite post.

Nuffing stoppin anyone from emailing the club with you rather nice idea.
Should a few of us email the club a prod?
Pun intended?
Would love to see the follow up tweets!
If the club have ANY sort of clue in the social media department they will do something nice for these poor two souls!
Great picture on BBC website earlier showing Sean Dyche in his shirt sleeves during the pitch inspection.A great caption saying Dyche doesn’t feel the cold,the cold feels Dyche.
A fine example to the snowflakes in the game today.
Yeah put em up in a hotel in Burnley for twice the going rate with a signed photo of himself no doubt.
Those were the days, when there was more mud than grass and they had to play with orange balls in the snow.
When players were men ?
Remember a game at Derby County when they couldn’t find the penalty spot and had to have it remarked .
Quite common back then, especially in the early 80’s. As a fisherman I remember the postponements often coincided with lousy fishing weather too.
Hats on more like.
And scarfs and gloves.
I remember a Cup match at Forest being abandoned, was it the 90s.Maybe at HT?
Hats Off to these, all, supporters. Let’s hope the rest of their trip goes well. Maybe Levy will do something nice for them, it would help his PR.
With global warming it’s a rare event, I can remember regular games being postponed every winter back in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Though snow in November is unusual. Anyone remember the mud back in those days?
