Is there really any need for posts like this?
We're seen by many as one of the few clubs without idiotic fans gobbing off. That view ain't gonna be kept much longer if Stanley fans are posting like this for the whole world to see.
There's umpteen threads about poor gates; do you really think any potential punters from the Burnley area are going to want to come to our games after reading this drivel?

I am from Burnley and support Burnley although I now live here. Perhaps people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. On a BFC forum you get mixed responses towards Stanley from people going on when we are away to others who see them as rivals. However even the latter don't stoop to such comments that have been made on here. Perhaps I could post the comments on the forum concerned and see if they still hold the view that Stanley are the friendly club from down the road.

Whats wrong with you 2, wrong time of the month or something, it called humor, they are known through out the land as dingles, this message board is turning in to real "don't make fun of anyone or they might write something bad about us". If you take the pee out of Rovers you have 20 Accy fans screaming it not fair, if you take the pee out of Burnley the other 20 start.
Its a message board not real life.

Would these people on the forum be the same people that kicked off with York fans? The same lads that stood in the Morecambe home end and began singing Stanley songs? The same lads that threw their mate off the Clayton End into a skip? The same lads that thumped one of our Stewards? I don't like Burnley, I don't don't like the Club, I don't like their fans, and I won't apologise for it either. If some Stanley fans came to a Burnley match and caused grief for your fans or your Club, you'd have the same view.

I'll have a laugh & a joke about the Dingles anyday, but there's banter & then there's just idiocy.
Insulting the people living in Burnley who may not be Burnley FC fans (point in that please??) with no reason is just embarassing.

You get embarrassed very easily? so pray tell the difference between banter and idocy, does it mean you can sing "we all hate BFC" on the clayton end and that would be banter, and saying "whats the difference between a dingle and a bucket of sh1t?" The Bucket is idocy. or is it more like if you disagree with something being said then 1. there is no point in it. 2 Idiocy, but if you agree then its banter.

Bazf & Diesel if it makes you feel good thats not a problem. I'll go find more intelligent debate.

maccawozzagod · 23-08-2006, 23:12

the original thread was to highlight that not only Stanley are struggling with crowds at this moment in the season. I think that the comments made are mainly in jest as we all work and socialise with Burnley fans every day. I think we are, or should be, above knocking other fans.

Other than maybe Barrow and Alty

That post really made me chuckle, thanks.

He immediatly cut his holiday short contacted the University and a team of linguists flooded the area to study this modern day lost tribe, from this study they compiled a book called speak like a dingle, luckily I managed to find a copy and just for you Cowboy I may have an answer.......

A lot of people do not go to Burnley FC anymore because they are treated very poorly by the fore said club.
Hope this helps

That made me laugh all day. Hillarious. Thanks

So as you can see this could go on for years or untill the members of the univeristy find intelligent life form above what they have encountered.
At the moment the table looks like this.

Dingle
Pond Life
Man utd supporter
Hobbit
Neanderthals
Primate
Homo Sapians

Which as was pointed out by a member of the faculty, this is the only time Burnley will be on top.

Bazf,

Thank you once again for your most precise and informative reply to my previous post.

I have today been in touch with Waterstones in Oxford Street London, where a very nice young lady, by the name of Gwendoline, has offerd to try and procure a copy of said book for me, however I do need the title.........can you help?

Yours

Cowboy
