- ‘White Lives Matter Burnley’ banner was flown over the Etihad
- Premier League club will display inclusive message at Turf Moor
Burnley will demonstrate further opposition to the “White Lives Matter Burnley” banner flown over the Etihad Stadium when they resume their campaign at home against Watford on Thursday.
Players and club officials were appalled by the stunt over Manchester City’s stadium before kick-off on Monday when the captain, Ben Mee, said he felt ashamed and embarrassed. Discussions were held on Tuesday at the club over reiterating condemnation of the banner, and support for the Black Lives Matter movement, at the Watford game. Although details have yet to be confirmed it is understood Burnley will project their “One Club For All” message inside the stadium with support from Sean Dyche’s squad.
