As we take a look back in time for the last time this week we start with a couple of seasons that brought about early season management changes at Turf Moor.
As we take a look back this week at the games played over the years, a home game against West Ham will certainly provide a wake up call for Boundary Clarets Chairman Bill Hadfield, and quite literally.
A visit to Anfield was never something you were over eager to experience, getting results there in the days of Shankly and Paisley was not the easiest task in English football.
Peter ‘Uwe' Noble was a superb signing for Burnley and his commitment could never be question throughout his six and a half years with the club, and certainly not on the day we played Norwich in 1975.
Burnley had made a good start on their return to the First Division in 1973, winning two and drawing one of the first three fixtures, but now we had a tough week on the road to Spurs and Wolves.
Last season the Clarets beat Bury 3-2 at Gigg Lane in the First Round of the Carling (League) Cup at a time when we were neither scoring nor conceding many goals, but that was nothing compared to two previous ties there.
It is well over thirty years since the Burnley fans adopted a Gary Glitter song as their anthem, so long ago most people still thought the glam rock singer was nothing more than eccentric.
As our back in time returns football seasons over the years are getting underway, although even as we approach the end of the month there are many, including our Championship seasons that are still to start.
As we take our last look back in time this season there are very few games to look back on but it's a week that has brought with it two trips to the twin tours and a couple of promotions.
Looking back on this particular week over past years there aren't too many matches to review but there was one in 1994 at Plymouth that will long be remembered by Burnley fans as it led to our last appearance at Wembley.
As we look back over this week in past years then there can only be one place to start, it is 1987 and the 9th May when we played what is now known as the ‘Orient Game'.
This is the time of the year when league's are won and relegations are suffered so it is probably no surprise to see some fantastic moments and despair as we look back at this particular week.
The last week in April often sorts out the winners from the losers and the also rans, and that was no exception way back in 1914 as Burnley lifted the FA Cup for the first and only time in the club's history.
Burnley's second and last European campaign came to an end in this week in 1967, as we fell to a surprise defeat against German club Eintracht Frankfurt at Turf Moor.
April 1973 was a good time to be a Claret, a fantastic season had seen us lose just four times and two wins in two days clinched promotion back to the top flight with five games still to go.
Not too many years ago club's would play three matches at Easter – Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday but it was not always the most successful time.
Leeds were well clear at the top of the league when we went to Elland Road in 1974, just a week before another trip to Yorkshire for an FA Cup semi-final, it was a day when Revie's team were simply murdered.
Last week we reported that Stan Ternent had kept his job in 1999 after the two heavy home defeats against Gillingham and Manchester City but could he turn things round with Preston set to visit.
Burnley had a tough week ahead of them, a trip to Germany for the European Cup Quarter-Final against Hamburg and an FA Cup Semi-Final against Spurs, but before that we had Chelsea at home.
I'll be sorry to see the back of Coventry City's Highfield Road at the end of the season, our recent visit was the seventh time I had seen us win there but one of those visits brought about a very special win.
Burnley went out of the FA Cup when a replay at Liverpool ended in controversial circumstances but there was to be some sensational news before we took to the field again.
Five years ago Burnley Football Club were grabbing the football headlines right across the country as news broke that an English international was about to sign for the rest of the season.
Burnley went to Italy during this week in 1967 with a 3-0 lead from the first leg of their Fairs Cup tie against Napoli and got a lot more than they bargained for.
When looking back in time over this particular week we found that it was a week when the Clarets were capable of hitting a big score even during the worst of seasons.
