Harrison Sudders

"Harrison is my Grandson who has supported Burnley for all his 6 years.

"He is football mad, plays for Fulledge Colts and his passion is Burnley FC. He trains on Monday night for Burnley FC in the Community. He has been a season ticket holder since 2022 and before that went on regular games. He has just this last season started going on a few away games.

"He was mascot this year and was over the moon walking out with Anthony.

"He loves going to Gawthorpe to try and catch the players at training whatever the weather. He has been on the pitch at half-time through his football team to do a penalty shootout.

"Although only 6, his knowledge regarding players, positions and who scored when is amazing.

"He loved the promotion parade through the town.” Karen Sudders

"Harrison is absolutely football mad. He has followed in his dad’s footsteps of supporting Burnley and becoming a season ticket holder. Even though he is only 6 years old, Harrison’s life revolves around football. Whether that be going watching Burnley, playing at Burnley’s player development centre once a week, playing for two teams at Fulledge Colts, practicing in the garden or having numerous lengthy conversations about football with anyone that will listen. His dedication for not only the club but also the sport in general is inspiring.” Danielle Seymour

"Harrison lives and breathes Burnley FC, often upset when they are midweek evening games, not being able to go on due to school but convincing his parents to let him watch the first half at home. He's never without a ball at his feet and always in some form of Burnley FC clothing. He plays for a local grassroots team and does the players celebrations when he scores." Helen Morrell

Otis Weston

"I think Otis should win Fan of the Season because Otis' love for Burnley is more than just 'football', it's a place he feels like every other fan, a place he can just be himself and a place he feels as 'normal' as the person behind him because it's something he can do independently without the constant support of his mum and dad. Whenever I see Otis, he's either watching previous matches on YouTube, being Burnley on Fifa or he's getting anyone who'll listen to chant with him! Otis is absolutely Burnley's biggest fan - he has a collection of shirts hanging on his bedroom wall, his bedroom is Burnley, his physio is Burnley related, (always with a ball) and even school have now started to incorporate football into his maths to help him learn! Otis is the biggest Burnley fan I know and I know he would be so happy to win the Fan of the Season!" Neil Davis

"Otis should win Fan of the Season, his love for the club is something else! Otis travels up and down the country to follow Burnley. He was born with brain damage and as a result of this he has Cerebral palsy, ADHD, processing disorder along with developmental delays and a wide range of other problems. Otis' motivation through all therapies is Burnley Football Club, his aim and ambition is to 'stand in the cricket field stand' and he works hard to achieve this! We were told he would never be able to retain information and would never have things like short or long term memory (he proves them wrong with his knowledge of Burnley), we are blown away with the stuff he has learnt along the way. When Otis is at football he feels 'normal' and is included in ways we could never understand. He feels a sense of belonging while he watches them play. He loves Burnley that much he hopes to be his brother's manager one day! Burnley matters to Otis in more ways than just football it's his biggest motivation to hopefully walk independently one day." Shannon Davis

"So, Otis is 8 and has CP, he struggles with basic life things such as walking, getting dressed and other cognitive functions. Otis is a massive Burnley fan and travels everywhere and has done for years now. Being at football gives Otis 90 minutes of just being him, he sings and chants, he loves being at the games. Supporting Burnley for him gives him a purpose and a place where he can be part of something. He loves away days and has done all away days apart from one this season, he is Burnley's biggest fan and there are not many who travel like Otis does.” Eliot Weston

Saskia Black

"Saskia has thrown herself into life as a BFC fan for the past couple of seasons (she's currently 7) and absolutely loves it! As a family of four, we have season tickets in the Jimmy Mc upper and have loved watching the team gain promotion this season after a challenging year in the Premier League."

"Saskia's favourite players are Trafford and Estève and watching them has helped fuel her love for playing the game, which she now does regularly on a Sunday morning with Readstone. She has bought loads of the club merchandise, including her notebook which she documents with squads, scores, results etc for every home game and has even experienced her first away games this season (Carabao Cup @ Wolves, Preston in the league); cheering the team on to the fullest! In addition, we regularly watch the BFC Women's team play at the Turf and County Ground and Tilly Wilkes' shirt has pride of place in Saskia's bedroom (which was donated to her after their cup final win last season). Saskia was also a Club mascot for the BFC Women's game against Wolves earlier this season, alongside her sister. It would mean the world to her to win this accolade, and I think she would be a more than worthy recipient!"
