The Farm's reserve team plays in the Bristol Combination. Their firsts play in the Southern League South and West Divisioin, which is the 8th tier of English football.

Re: Scott Arfield
Scotty knew that his time was running out for being picked as an international and that the Canadian option was always open, and so chose it. Scotty has an ice hockey player's attitude. Just put your head down and never say die. You're not allowed time on the ball/puck in ice hockey.

You all sound like you're all trying to outdo the other for a role in the Burnley version of the old comedy classic skit, "The Four Yorkshiremen". Does any of you actually live in a cardboard box? If so, you win.
