[ 1 ] The suffix “ Rovers ” was dropped a few days belated. [ 1 ] The team played their first recorded couple on 10 August against local side Burnley Wanderers at home grind Calder Vale and won 4–0. [ 2 ] In February 1883, the baseball club was invited by Burnley Cricket Club to a peddle adjacent to the cricket field at Turf Moor, where it has remained since.

[ 9 ] In the second peer, William Tait became the beginning player to score a league hat-trick, [ 10 ] when his three goals gave Burnley their inaugural win in the rival. [ 11 ] In 1889–90, they claimed their first Lancashire Cup, after beating local rivals Blackburn Rovers in the final examination. [ 12 ] nickname at this point were “ Turfites ”, “ Moorites ” or “ Royalites ”, as a result of their anchor ‘s name and the royal connection. [ 13 ] Burnley were relegated to the Second Division for the first fourth dimension in 1896–97. [ 14 ] The team won the division the next temper ; only two of thirty matches were lost before promotion was gained through a four-team play-off series called test matches, although the last game against First Division club Stoke was controversial. The tie finished 0–0 as both needed only a describe for a clear flight place ; it was late named “ [ triiodothyronine ] he match without a fritter at goal ”. The Football League soon withdrew the test catch system in prefer of automatic forwarding and relegation and expanded both divisions from 16 to 18 clubs after a gesticulate by Burnley. [ 15 ] They were relegated again in 1899–1900 and found themselves at the center of controversy when their goalkeeper, Jack Hillman, attempted to bribe opponents Nottingham Forest in the last match of the season. [ 16 ] It is possibly the earliest commemorate character of pit situate in football. [ 17 ] The side continued to play in the Second Division and evening finished in bottom place in 1902–03 ( but were re-elected ), [ 18 ] as the baseball club got into fiscal difficulties. [ 19 ]

In the first season of post-war League football, Burnley gained promotion through second place and reached the 1947 FA Cup Final but were defeated by Charlton Athletic after extra clock time. [ 29 ] The team ‘s refutation was nicknamed “ The Iron Curtain ”, since they merely conceded 29 goals in 42 league matches. [ 29 ] Burnley finished one-third in their foremost season back in the top trajectory as they began to assemble a team capable of competing for award. [ 14 ] [ 30 ] Alan Brown was appointed coach in 1954, [ 30 ] and Bob Lord president a class late. The club became one of the most progressive around under their tenures.

[ 47 ] In 1975, the team were victims of one of the great FA Cup shocks of all time when Wimbledon, then in the Southern League, won 1–0 at Turf Moor. [ 50 ] Adamson left the club in January 1976, and relegation from the First Division followed later that class.
