Mee hails Clarets travelling support

The fans have made all the difference for Burnley on their road trips – according to defender Ben Mee.

The Clarets held on for a 0-0 draw against Sunderland last time out and are still waiting for a first away win in the league this season.

But they have secured two draws from their four away games in a row that has meant a near month-long road trip.

But they are back at Turf Moor for two games in a row after the international break and Mee wants to reward their loyal fanbase that follow them all over the country.

“It will be nice to get back playing in front of the home fans, but fair play to the away fans,” he said.

“They’ve been fantastic for us. After every game they are there clapping us and we notice that.

“It’s been fantastic to see that after the game and all credit to them for still following us and supporting us.

“We are in a good position going into the final games and we want to push on and get as many points we can.

“We would like to win away from home to stop people talking about the away form, which actually hasn’t been too bad performance-wise.

“We have just struggled to get those wins and today was another one.”
