The Club Badge

The Burnley FC Supporters Team is a football team made up of supporters of Burnley F.C.. The teams plays in the IFA (Internet Football Association) Supporters League, which is made up of over 80 similar teams. The club badge is based on the badge used by Burnley F.C. on the classic 1975-1978 'V' home shirt.[1]

Formation

edit

The team was formed in 2007, when they were challenged to a game by their Preston North End counterparts. That game ended in a 6-1 defeat. The players enjoyed the game so much that they decieded to enter the supporters league and advertised for players to play in their first league games.[2]

Matches

edit

Home games are usually played at Townley Park, Burnley. The standard kick-off time is 10:30am. Following the games, the Burnley team will take the opposition to a local pub who put sandwiches on for them, before heading to the Burnley first team game in the afternoon.

In what was scheduled to be the teams second league game, away at AFC Halifax, defender Wayne McIntosh went down in agony after just ten minutes. It was revealed that he had broken a fibula in his leg and the game was abandoned.[3] In a show of support, the AFC Halifax squad members held a collection to raise money to help Wayne through the next few month.[4]
