Sheffield Clarets have contacted The Longside with this article, Barnsey (well known as the editor of When The Ball Moves) and Co are looking for fellow Clarets to join them and swell their numbers, can you help them in their quest for growth? Please read on;

Sheffield Clarets – Recruitment Drive

Above; Claretrgt, Barnsey,Claretdale. (Honest lads drinking ale).

The Sheffield Clarets has been informally up and running for about 3/4 years, and we are on the lookout for more 'members'. Please don't let the idiotic posing above put you off!

We have members who have lived in Burnley and moved to Sheffield, and also members who follow the Clarets through the influence of their parents (myself included). From students (ex and present) to the more senior members (well those 30+).

We are not a formal group (not at present anyway) but just like to meet up for a drink occasionally (normally at the Devonshire Cat in town, largely down to the real ale!) and also share lifts to home games and look to co-ordinate away travel wherever possible!

As can be seen in the picture above, we have recently purchased a rather large flag and have discussed the possibility of presenting a trophy at the end of the season awards.

If any of you out there live in the Sheffield area and are interested in occasional meets to talk about Claret life and/or shared travel to games, please contact us on Sheffieldclarets@hotmail.com. For any students arriving to either Hallam or Uni, It could be a good way to meet new people who have the same major interest- I know it has certainly helped a couple of our current members.

We intend to meet on October 8th (7-30pm), at the Devonshire Cat, and it would be good to see a few new faces!

Afternoon All,

For all clarets based in or around Sheffield, we will be having our first meeting of the season next week. Wednesday October the 8th at the Devonshire Cat on division Street.

It will be nice to meet some new faces mixed in with some of the not so new.

For all students just arriving in the city - it would be a good way to meet up with some fellow clarets - something i didnt find easy when i moved to Sheffield 6 years ago!

Hope to see some of you there!

Thanks for the welcome,

I am an ex student - graduated in 2004 from Hallam.

We also have a final year Hallam student and a second year student from Sheffield Uni ( we dont hold that against him).

It would be good to see students who have just arrived but we are not exclusively for students ( or ex). It would be good to see people of all ages!

Wishing the best of luck for your October meeting .I am a lifelong fan of Burnley since 1954 and will remain so till the end of my last day .

I am from mauritius ,a tiny island in the Indian Ocean .There are other Clarets fans as well but to a lesser number because of our cntinued drop to lower divisions .

Please pass the message to your members . If any of you wishes to come to Mauritius on vacation ,I shall be pleased to welcome you all .
i have made a special arrangement with Management of Coco Beach hotel( 4-Star ) for special rate for all Clarets fans .

Think we saw Barney about noon on the day of the Barnsley away game last season.

We were sat outside the Union (looks like four kettles) boozing and he walked passed.

Yes it may well have been Barnsey, myself and a couple of other walking past the Union from the Devonshire Cat last season.

The Devonshire Cat normally gets a visit at some point!

Just a reminder to all about the meeting tomorrow.

We have had 2/3 new members contact us to say they intend joining us tomorrow night. Everyone is welcome - It would be good to add more people to our clan.

The commentator seemed to have some difficulty getting to grips with the fact that there might be Burnley fans based in Sheffield.

Are you guys running a coach/transport?

We've had an email from an exiled Claret in your neck o'the woods asking.
