A story
Turf Moor has been Burnley FC's home ground continuously since 1883 — one of the longest associations between a club and a ground in English football. Burnley were founder members of the Football League in 1888 and have twice won the First Division championship (1921 and 1960), which given the club's size and the town's population makes them one of English football's more improbable historical achievers. The ground's compact terraces and working-class atmosphere retain the feel of a proper northern football club.
