Town's clock goes claret and blue

The four clock faces of Burnley Town Hall have been turned claret and blue in support of the promotion-seeking football club.

 

Burnley face Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Monday, with the prize a place in the Premier League.

 

It is the first time in 120 years the clock has displayed the club's colours.

 

The last time Burnley played in English football's top flight - then the First Division - was in 1976.

 

Burnley Council chief executive Steve Rumbelow said he wanted to create a beacon of support for the team.

 

61st game

 

David Farrar, who has responsibility for the upkeep of the clock, said: "The feeling around Burnley is great at the moment.

 

"There is claret appearing all over the place, from offices to front windows, so it's good to be doing something here too at the town hall.

 

"I was here the last time Burnley achieved promotion, so I am hoping that will be the case this time too," the Clarets fan said.

 

The lighting effect has been achieved by using coloured light bulbs.

 

When Burnley turn out at Wembley it will be their 61st game of the season after a campaign in which they also reached the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.

 

The Clarets will be taking 36,000 supporters with them for their Wembley day out.

Jen is very happy, but very tired :D

 

The road to Wembley was claret & blue :D London has indecisive weather which didn't do me any favours. Wembley Way is the most mental piece of land i have ever walked down. The stadium is incredible & big, and noisy. Booooooo to all the Club Wembley members who left a big swathe of empty seats - there are people out there who couldn't get tickets, and would have loved to attend. Very impressed with the Met too! Their crowd control after the match was very impressive, only 10 mins to get onto the platform on Wembley Park, not too many peple let through at a time.

Good to hear! :nice:

 

I was impressed by the crowd control on New Year's Eve 2007/08 as well.

They were very organised and there were about 1 million people :stunned: around the London Eye the newspapers said...
