THE comments in Sports Letters (LET, February 6) certainly brought a smile to my face.

There was Gary Donnelly, a Burnley fan asking whether a Rovers fan would still be supporting the team if promotion did not come soon.

And Sharon Osborne was retorting to comments about which is, or isn't a "big" club, and which has genuine fans.

Ms Osborne should take her own advice and, once away from Turf Moor, become a responsible adult.

I support neither Burnley nor Rovers, but am one of the strange breed who likes to see all our local clubs do well.

I have to agree with another writer, Mrs R Carter, who, like most fans in the area, is fed up of "petty niggles" and wants to get on with supporting her team and let everyone else get on with supporting theirs.
