I've seen a job in Kazahkstan and the town in question was twinned with other places, as if they were similar but in different geographic theatres of life.

Burnley is a football town, if you were to suggest twin football town and clubs for Burnley, who would you suggest?

Rojales is reminiscing about Barnsley's European exploits.

Bobinho perhaps is implying that Burnley is never to be compared.

Didn’t we ‘twin’ with Glentoran. It was trendy at one time to do that type of thing

Guingamp in Brittany. Small town (~10000), have played in Europe, held their own in French top flight, 20000 stadium. Football=town=Club. Been to see em a few times and the parallels are striking.

Stan pointed it out years ago when there was clear confusion:

It can only be Barcelona; although historically Trelleborg was a good shout.
