Tyrone Mears believes visiting Burnley will be a shock for
Premiership rivals.
The new Burnley fullback said: “When I came here and got into
the changing rooms, we had to pack so many players in to a small
space, and that was with Preston! So I can imagine the big clubs in
the Premier League coming here aren’t going to fancy it at all.
That can only work in our favour.
“I’m not under any illusions, I think they’re behind a little
bit to other clubs in terms of facilities. But they’ve got a young
manager with a growing reputation, a young squad that’s growing in
reputation as well, and a chance to play in the Premier League, so
everything’s going for the club.
“I’m sure the stadium and training ground will all come with the
rewards on the pitch.
“But I’ve not signed here because of the stadium or training
ground; it’s a chance to play and play regular football.”
