Blackburn Rover Football Club Info

It wasn’t until owner Jack Walker took over the club that the Rovers would find success again. Flush with money, the Rovers made several key moves that allowed them to win the Second Division in 1991-1992 and finally return to the First Division. Walker continued spending money in the summer of 1992, shelling out a then-record 3.2 million pounds for young centre forward Alan Shearer, along with numerous other expensive acquisitions. In 1993-1994, those moves and others paid off for Walker, as the Blue and Whites finished runners-up in the Premiership to Manchester United. During the following off-season, Walker once again emptied his pockets to acquire Chris Sutton. The following season, Walker’s efforts paid off, as the Rovers won the Premiership for the first time since 1914.

While the Rovers have never achieved a level of success comparable to Chelsea, Manchester United, or Arsenal, they are one of the few clubs to have been founding members of the Football League and Premier League.

Started in 1875, Blackburn experienced a great deal of success during the 1880s, winning three FA Cups. The Rovers then became one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888, finishing in fourth place in the inaugural season. In 1890, Blackburn purchased Ewood Park during the midst of two more FA Cup wins that included the first hat trick in an FA Cup final, a feat achieved by William Townley.

Blackburn Rovers Manager

Sam Allardyce took over as manager of the Blue and Whites in 2008 after managing Newcastle United from 2007-2008 and the Bolton Wanderers from 1999-2007. Known as “Big Sam,” Allardyce played professionally for the Bolton side that won promotion to the First Division in 1977-1978, as well as in the United States, bringing many American football tactics to the sport known as football to the rest of the world.

Manager Kenny Dalglish moved into a new position of Director of Football after his success as manager of the club, but the Rovers struggled to stay at the top. The club sold Alan Shearer to Newcastle United after the 1994-1995 and relegation followed after the 1998-1999 season. In 2000, Jack Walker died, but the Rovers gained their promotion and won their first League Cup in 2001-2002.

Blackburn Rovers Stadium

No club in the Premier League has been in their current home longer than the Blue and Whites have taken the pitch at Ewood Park in Blackburn, Lancashire. Open since 1882 next to the Darwen River, the stadium is comprised of four stands and seats over 31,000. Owner Jack Walker completed massive renovations at the site in 1994 that saw the construction of new, two-tiered stands at Darwen End and Blackburn End, along with the Jack Walker Stand, replacing the Nuttall Street Stand. Only the Riverside Stand remains unchanged.

However, the coming years would prove to be much more unkind to the Riversiders. Though they won league titles in 1912 and 1914, their FA Cup win in 1928 would be the last in a long, long time. Mediocrity finally led to relegation in 1935-1936. They managed to return to the First Division after the war, but suffered relegation once again in 1947-1948, remaining in the Second Division for ten years. Promoted in 1958, the Rovers mostly struggled through the following seasons until being relegated again in 1966, the beginning of a period that would see the formerly-proud club spend time in the Second and Third Divisions for 26 years.

Burnley Football Club Summary

The club captured its first major trophy in 1914, defeating Liverpool FC 1-0 in the FA Cup final. The club’s first major league championship came during the 1920-21 season when they won England’s top flight after finishing second in the top flight in the prior season. After this point, league success would come at all levels of competition in England, but was interspersed with droughts in their form.

Burnley FC has a rich history in English football that goes back over 125 years. The Clarets are one of the founding members of the Football League. In 1888 Burnley, along with 11 other teams, founded the Football League. In the early decades of the newly founded league, Burnley experienced success on many different levels.

Burnley has been up and down through all four divisions of English football in their history, earning them a unique spot in the league’s history. Burnley FC is one of only three clubs to have won a championship in each of the four divisions. In addition to their 1920-21 success in the top flight, they captured another title in 1959-60, and have captured the second division title twice, and once each in the third and fourth divisions.

Burnley’s first game in the 2009-2010 Premiership will mark the completion of an astonishing turn around for a club that was on the brink of being relegated from the Football League all together in 1987.

Burnley FC Manager

On November 22, 2007 Scottish born, Ireland international Owen Coyle was introduced as the new manager at Burnley Football Club. Coyle took over a club that was finally stable on the field and led the team to a respectable 13th place finish on 62 points in the Championship. Coyle’s first full season in 2008-09 would be even more impressive as he led his team to a 5th place finish in the Championship and secured promotion through playoff victories. Coyle was a prolific striker in his playing days. After beginning his career with Dumbarton, Coyle bounced around to several different Scottish teams and even had a spell with Bolton Wanderers. Prior to joining Burnley, Coyle led Scotland’s St. Johnstone to back to back 2nd place finishes in Scotland’s second tier.

Turf Moor – Burnley FC Stadium

The Clarets hold another distinction in English football that is surpassed by only one team. Burnley has played their football on the same ground since 1883, at Turf Moor. Only Preston North End has occupied the same ground continuously for a longer period than Burnley has been at Turf Moor. The stadium can currently hold 22,546 seated, though with Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, plans are back in the mix to expand seating capacity to 28,000. Turf Moor has played host to one FA Cup semi-final. The game was played in 1922 and saw Huddersfield Town beat Notts County 3-1. The record attendance at the stadium was set in 1924 during an FA Cup 3rd round game as 54,755 saw Burnley host Huddersfield Town. Turf Moor’s North and East end seating stands were rebuilt in 1996 and are at current the largest and newest stands in the stadium. With its promotion to the Premier League secure, the Clarets hope to expand seating in the West and South stands to bring the stadiums total to 28,000.

This past spring (2009), the Clarets defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in the Championship’s playoff final to gain promotion to the Premier League.

Burnley FC rejoins Premiership, completing turn of fortune for club. Burnley Football Club returns to the Barclay’s Premier League on 15 August, 2009 as they face Stoke City on the road at Britannia Stadium. Burnley FC is returning to England’s top flight of football after a 33 year absence.
