Matches update from premier league

Premier League Statement: Update

Burnley Football Club fully supports the approach outlined by the Premier League below and is committed to working with the league to get the season re-started when it is safe to do so.

Premier League statement: The FA, Premier League, EFL and women’s professional game, together with the PFA and LMA, understand we are in unprecedented times and our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19. 

We are united in our commitment to finding ways of resuming the 2019/20 football season and ensuring all domestic and European club league and cup matches are played as soon as it is safe and possible to do so. 

We have collectively supported UEFA in postponing EURO 2020 to create space in the calendar to ensure domestic and European club league and cup matches have an increased opportunity to be played and, in doing so, maintain the integrity of each competition.

The FA’s Rules and Regulations state that “the season shall terminate not later than the 1 June” and “each competition shall, within the limit laid down by The FA, determine the length of its own playing season”.

However, The FA’s Board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019/20 season in relation to Professional Football.

Additionally, we have collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than 30 April.

IMPORTANT..... PLEASE READ

PLEASE READ

As you may have expected, Burnley FC is now closed to external guests.... this means all the functions for the coming weeks are now cancelled......

We will be in touch as and when the situation changes.

In the mean time, please follow all advice given and lets come back bigger and better when we re-open!

Thanks

Coronavirus

As of Thursday 12th March 10am  - Cornavirus 

A working group has now been established within the club to monitor the updates and react accordingly, primarily to ensure the first team football operation is protected from the virus as robustly and effectively as possible, whilst also protecting the wellbeing of our staff and visitors in and to the club. This group will meet weekly on a Monday morning until further notice.

The NHS is encouraging people to maintain good hygiene to avoid possible infection of spreading of the virus which includes:

• Washing your hands with soap and water often - do this for at least 20 seconds.
• Always wash your hands when you get to work or home.
• Use hand sanitiser gel if soap or water are not available.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze.
• Put used tissues in the bin straight away and wash your hands afterwards.
• Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.

We are asking any staff who have been to or are in close proximity to others who have traveled to within the last 2 weeks continue to self isolate themselves for the 2 week advised period (therefore you will not be allowed onto the clubs premises )
