A GROUP of Lancastrian football exiles have set up a supporters club dedicated to their Turf Moor heroes.

The Malvern Clarets will hold their first meeting next week and are urging any other Burnley supporters living in the Malvern area to help make the squad bigger.

Malvern resident Barry Sutcliffe said: "We know there are quite a few people in the area who originate from Lancashire and we were hoping to be able to meet up and travel to home and away matches together.

"I've got a few friends who I've found over the years who support the same team, so we're trying to see if there are any other supporters."

Anyone interested can either call Mr Sutcliffe on 01684 892516 or go along to the first meeting in the Three Horseshoes Inn, Poolbrook, at 8pm on Thursday, October 17.
