Burnley in Premier League 2009-10

Burnley have been Football League Champions twice, in 1920-21 and 1959-60, and have won the FA Cup once, in 1914. The Clarets also reached the 1961 quarter-finals of the European Cup. They are one of only three teams to have won all top four professional divisions of English football.

The club has spent most of its history in England's top two divisions, but remained outside the top flight from 1976 to 2009. From 1985 to 1992 they had a seven-year spell in the lowest tier of the Football League. In 1987 they narrowly avoided relegation to the Conference. Between 2000 and 2009 they played in the second tier of English football, until they gained promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 33 years after winning the 2009 Football League Championship play-off Final. After winning their first four home games, they are now the most successful newly promoted team at home with straight wins, beating the previous record of 3 set by Blackburn Rovers.

In May 1988, Burnley were back at Wembley; this time to play Wolves in the final of the Football League Trophy. 80,000 people packed Wembley to its capacity, unsurprisingly a record for a match between two teams from English football's fourth tier, as two great old clubs started to find an upturn in their fortunes. Wolves ran out convincing 2-0 winners. In 1991-92, Burnley were champions in the last ever season of the Fourth Division before the league reorganisation, and two years later they won the new Division Two play-offs and gained promotion to Division One under Jimmy Mullen. That too was as a result of a match at Wembley, this time against Stockport County. However, relegation followed after just one season and in 1997-98 only last match 2-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle ensured a narrow escape from relegation into Division Three. Chris Waddle was manager in that season, but his departure and the appointment of Stan Ternent that summer saw the club start to make further progress. In 1999-2000 they finished Division Two runners-up and gained promotion to Division One (now the Championship), where they remained until getting promoted to the Premiership via the play-offs at the end of the 2008-09 season. During the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons, Burnley emerged as serious contenders for a promotion play-off place in the Championship, however, by 2002-03 the side's form had declined despite a good FA Cup run, and started to concede goals at an alarming rate. This was repeated the following season and in June 2004, Ternent's six-year reign as manager came to an end and Steve Cotterill was appointed as manager of the club.

Burnley have played their home games at Turf Moor since 1883. It now consists of 4 stands, the James Hargreaves Stand (The Longside), the Jimmy McIlroy Stand, the Bob Lord Stand and the David Fishwick Stand for away fans. The current capacity is 22,546, all seated. Post war crowds in the old stadium were in the 40,000 - 50000 range with the record attendance set in 1924 against Huddersfield in a FA Cup match with 54,755 attending the match.

In 2008, plans were made to extend the stadium to a capacity of around 28,000. This capacity increase would include a second tier attached to the Bob Lord stand, along with a complete re-development. In addition, a new stand was planned to replace the Cricket Field Stand, which would also hold a cricket pavilion and hotel. In late 2008, these plans were put on hold as general economic conditions worsened in the U.K.

On promotion to the Premier League in 2009, it was estimated that approximately £1M of work would be required to bring the ground up to Premier League standards.

Dare to Dream (Mighty Burnley) is the club's official song made by a local school teacher (Andrew Gilmore) and an eight year old girl (Jasmine Clarkson). The song is hoped to boost morale for the fans as well as boost Burnley's promotion hopes. [11] The club's anthem is called 'No Nay Never', an adaptation of the traditional Irish song, "Wild Rover", which has lyrics to offend the club's main rivals Blackburn Rovers.Ironicaly, Burnley's main rivals, Blackburn Rovers, also have 'No Nay Never' as their anthem. Before kick-off, the song "Requiem for a Tower" by Corner Stone Cues is played. As well as this, "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba (who originated in Burnley) is played. When the team scores, the song "Tom Hark" by The Piranhas is played. Pigbag's most famous hit, "Pappa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" is also played prior to kick off, along with the Clarets' fans own singing, to the lyrics of "Du du du du, Owen Coyle!".
