QPR at the Turf for opener

Last Updated : 22-Jun-2006 by
Burnley will start the season at the Turf against QPR

We end the season at home too, against Coventry City in May, and that will be a reminder of the 2001/02 season when we came so close to reaching the play offs. One more goal against the Sky Blues that day would have seen us into the top six.

There's also a reminder of the early days in this division over Christmas, on Boxing Day to be exact when we visit Barnsley. We travelled to Oakwell on Boxing Day 2000, suffered a 1-0 defeat on a day when Stan Ternent officially cancelled Christmas and accused the players of having had too much plum duff.

Last season's Boxing Day game moves back a week and Stoke City will be the first visitors of 2007 in the New Year's Day game. It was just last Christmas that a 1-0 win against them, when Ade Akinbiyi scored his last Burnley goal, took us fifth in the table.

There are midweek trips to Leicester, Luton, Derby and Southend but just take a look at our last four away games of the season that see us travel to Preston, Birmingham, Leeds and Sunderland.
