Lockdown has ruined the love of football for Burnley fans!

Research found that 75 per cent of Burnley fans don’t want to focus on anything else whilst watching football, but with distractions getting in the way at home, it’s clear that fans are missing the traditional matchday experience.

Despite the Government announcing a return to grounds for a small number of football fans, supporters have all spent the last month at home with many fans still under strict lockdown measures.

A total of 56 per cent of fans said that their household has been busier at home during lockdown, and 51 per cent of fans said this has led them to feel more claustrophobic as a result.

A majority (64.2%) of Burnley fans agree there are more distractions at home when trying to watch the game, with 60 per cent saying the distractions make it harder to focus.

One of the main frustrations faced by Burnley fans was missing a game’s big moments, with 64 per cent saying they had missed key incidents as they were trying to do two things at once.

England, Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool legend, Joe Cole said: “I definitely share the fans’ frustrations with trying to enjoy watching football during lockdown.

"I’m trying to watch the game and there’s all these distractions - the phone’s going off, I’ve got to answer the door, kids running around - and I’m missing a lot of the key moments!

"The survey shows that we really are bad at doing two things at once.”

Dylan Holman, Global Sponsorships Senior Manager at eToro, added: “Our new ‘two things at once’ campaign showcases that you can’t normally multitask, except with our platform’s CopyTrader function.

“This means you can copy top performing investors, so when they make a trade, you can do the same automatically, leaving you free to carry on enjoying watching the match.”
