Ade - has sponsored two of the players
His pledge of support is a big boost ahead of the Preston game on Saturday. Preston- who won the fans world cup during the summer- currently lead the IFA Supporters League table, and Burnley are second with two games in hand.

Since our narrow 3-2 defeat last season, we have added a number of players to the squad and are currently on a great run of form, and with it being a local derby everything is set for a fantastic game.

We are urging fans to come down and support us. The game kicks off at 10:30am at Towneley Park, and we will be putting on sandwiches after the game for both sets of teams and any spectators.

On Ade, supporters Team Chief Executive Kev Robinson declared "We are delighted to have Ade on board.

"We've now got all our players sponsored and that means that we have raised around £140 for the Clarets Mad Youth Foundation which is fantastic."


On the Preston game, captain Will O'Neill said "We have had a tough start with the games we have played. However, the main difference in our team this season is that we have match winners all over the pitch and I think we fully merit to be second in the table at the moment.

"We have been working extremely hard in training and go into the PNE match full of confidence and aim to give a very good account of ourselves against the WorldNet Champions.

"It is sure to be a firecracker of a match so if you are at a loose end on Saturday morning come down and support us and hopefully it can be a Burnley double with us in the morning and the 'Big Team' winning in the afternoon."
