Burnley were listed 2nd out of a list of 92 respective Football League clubs with the most rivals

Prince Charles is a Burnley fan.

Burnley only adopted their famous claret-and-blue strip in 1910, a homage to the great Aston Villa side of the day. Prior to that, they had turned out in a selection of kits, ranging from green to black and amber.

Burnley has the highest ratio of home attendances per head of population than any other club in Britain, the Clarets often get crowds in excess of 9,000 despite there being only 6,500 officially on the electoral role, the only town that comes close is Guildford were 97% of the population are Man Utd season ticket holders, which means they have more reds than all the hotels in Portugal.

The river Brun is the shortest river in Britain and runs through Burnley and is where the place name stems from.

Burnley are the only club to have been managed by an eight year old chimney sweep. - http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Burnley

Burnley Miners' Social Club sells more Benedictine than any other hostelry in Britain. Burnley buys roughly one in every three bottles sold in the UK.

Burnley has a singing ringing tree.

The straight mile, in Burnley is considered one of the 7 wonders of the British water way system.

Burnley are one of only three teams to have won all four divisional titles, The other two are: <spoiler> Wolves and Preston.</spoiler>

Only Preston have occupied the same ground for longer than Burnley, who moved into Turf Moor in 1883.

Burnley's 30-match unbeaten run in 1921 stood as the longest stretch without defeat in league history until Arsenal bettered it – managing a whole season without loss – in 2003-04.

Burnley have won every major competition in English football except the League Cup.

I don’t think I would. I’d go with the same XI and if Seri was fit, have him on the bench for this game. I don’t know how Kompany has them playing but Burnley are a very physical side and I think Alfie Jones did well in midfield and Slater and Tufan had good games also.

i'm afraid you've missed a vital related point.

after losing their first three league games of the 1920-21 season, burnley set off on an unbeaten run and by mid-february the run had lasted 24 league games and two fa cup games.

then they had to visit second division hull city in the fa cup.

hull city won 3-0.

burnley were undefeated for six more league games.

burnley won the league that season, despite failing to win in their final seven games.

hull city finished 13th in the second.

so the only defeat during that record-setting run was against us.

Yes he has decided that he is fed up of being tracked when he is in his jet. Wants a bit of privacy so it’s a surprise when he shows off the mystery #10.
