Our choice of the best third-party sites around
What you'll find (and won't find) on this page
Over the years, we've accumulated a large collection of links to other websites. Some of these are referenced within individual pages on our site, but this page attempts to provide a list of significant URLs, along with brief comments on each one.
We've divided the list into categories to help you find what you're looking for. Inevitably there will be some overlap - and undoubtedly many omissions - but some structure is better than none.
You can select a category from the table below, or just browse around the page. Click on a link to open the chosen site in a new browser window.
Of course, we could go on adding links indefinitely, but to save this page becoming a yard long we've had to be selective. So in general (with a few exceptions) we haven't included the following:
- Links to other clubs' sites, whether official or otherwise.
- Links to national newspaper sites, though many of these will of course have football coverage.
- Links to online shops or other commercial concerns.
All the above should be easy to find via your favourite search engine, or take a look at Fanbase.
Lastly, links relating to beer (breweries, pubs, etc) are - or soon will be - found in our Pub Guides section.
Here's the category table (click a link to jump to the list of sites under that heading):
| Category | Includes |
| Burnley-specific | Self-explanatory. |
| General football | Football news, stats, links directories, etc. |
| Governing bodies | Rulers and their rules - from FIFA downwards. |
| Fans | General fans' organisations, guides, campaigns, etc. |
| Other | Anything else (mainly related to football or to Burnley). |

Want a link to your website?
If you'd like us to add a link to your website from this page, please get in touch. Please note that links will be placed at our discretion. The placing of a link should not be taken to mean that we endorse the website concerned.
Want to link to us?
Please feel free! All we ask is that you open our site in a new browser window (i.e. not framed within your website) and name the link 'London Clarets'. You can link to our homepage - i.e. http://www.londonclarets.com/ - or to any page within our site. However, if you do 'deep link' to us, please bear in mind that we occasionally rename (and even delete) pages, so you will need to check every now and then that the link is still valid.
It should go without saying, but we can't stop any site from linking to us (it's the nature of the World Wide Web). Again, therefore, the fact that a site has a link to this one doesn't mean that we endorse it.
Found a broken link?
Did you find a broken link, either on this page or somewhere else within our site? If so, please accept our apologies. We do check links periodically, but occasionally we miss one. We'd be grateful if you could report the broken link to us. Please click here to open a pre-formatted email. Add brief details of what's not working, and then press Send. We'll correct the error as soon as possible. Thanks for your help!
