Burnley F.C. Supporters Groups

This organisation is not a supporters club but a collection of supporters clubs who meet once a month.

It was encouraged by Dave Edmundson and Edoardo Abis (then chief exec and media manager at the football club) during the 2003/04 season and they helped to set up the group to assist the various supporters clubs, mostly local ones, in working together.

Regular attendees at the meetings are Accrington Clarets, Boundary Clarets, Burnley Football Supporters Club, London Clarets, North Manchester Clarets and West Yorkshire Clarets.

The group, since 2005, have organised the annual Supporters Clubs Player of the Year Evening, and have also been involved in a number of projects with the club which include the improvement of the disabled facilities, post-match pedestrian issues, the annual minute’s silence to remember those who have passed away and the introduction of the player photographs on the external walls of three stands.

The group is also an affiliate member of the Football Supporters’ Association and is currently part of their Championship Network Group.

Boundary Clarets

boundary claretsBoundary Clarets run coaches from the Burnley area to away games, starting from Bancroft Road and picking up at Lanehead, Turf Moor, Tim Bobbin and Padiham.

The group was set up in the 1990s. They have run coaches to most away games since and usually enjoy a refreshment stop on the way to games.

Membership is £8 per season and this entitles members to a £2 reduction in fares for all away trips with a further £1 reduction for seniors and under-16s.

Burnley Football Supporters’ Club

supps-club-bannerBurnley Football Supporters’ Club was founded in 1981 by the then chairman of Burnley FC John Jackson.

Our aim is to run coaches to all Burnley FC games which we successfully achieve. As well as travelling to league games, we also organise trips to pre-season friendlies and cup games.

Each season we aim to have at least two long weekends away, staying at a good hotel, visiting places of interest and taking in a Burnley game. We also have social events such as going to the races, so why not follow us in Facebook, or even better, come along.

You don’t have to be a member to travel on our coaches although it is well worth joining. Membership is £7.50 per year which entitles you to discounted travel, inclusion in our monthly draw for a prize of £20 and a BFSC badge for the season.

Burnley Football Supporters’ Club offers safe, friendly travel for passionate BFC fans of all ages and is also suitable for families and young children accompanied by an adult.

To book away travel or weekend trips, please phone 07990 874695.



Central Lancs Clarets

Central Lancs Clarets covers the M6 corridor from Warrington up to the border with Scotland.

They run coaches to many away games each season and pick up at Lancaster, Bamber Bridge, Wigan and Knutsford depending on the destination. The coaches will usually stop at a pub on the way with food arranged on most occasions.

The Central Lancs committee meet monthly and members are welcome to attend.

Membership is £7 for adults and £4 for over-65s, under-18s & students.

Disabled Supporters Group

The Disabled Supporters Group was set up in early 2016 and now meets regularly on the second Tuesday of the month at the Barden Lane Sports Hub and welcome wheelchair/disabled supporters and their carers.

The group has already built up good relations with a national disabled group of football supporters which has nearly 1,000 members, and is making progress on building a good relationship with the football club with advice and support from the other supporters clubs within Burnley FC Supporters Groups.

The major project is to provide transport for wheelchair users and their carers to travel to games and would appreciate any ideas and help in providing that.

Contact Disabled Group via Peter Biddulph on 01282 871006 or Kim Ruth on 07519 104598.



London Clarets

Rossendale Clarets

Rossendale Clarets were formed in 1994 to run coaches to away games for supporters in Rossendale and Rochdale.

If you wish to travel with them to games, it is appreciated if you can make bookings approximately two weeks before the game to help arranging the number of coaches required.

West Yorkshire Clarets

leeds claretsWest Yorkshire Clarets was set up in 2005 to, initially, assist with supporters in the area to get to games. It was originally intended to be Leeds Clarets but at the inaugural meeting was decided to cover the entire West Yorkshire area.

They hold regular monthly meetings at various hostelries in the county, moving from one location to another which enables many more members to attend when a meeting is close to them. All of the meetings are advertised on the Up the Clarets web site.

There is also a West Yorkshire Clarets 5-a-side team that has played in a Monday night league in Leeds for a number of years.
