It's Burnley Not Barcelona is the diary of season 2002/2003 at Burnley Football Club, possibly the most financially difficult season in Burnley's long history since that of The Orient Game in 1987. The travels, hopes and joys of a long-suffering supporter, as well as the despair, the drenchings and hypothermia are set out against the financial problems, reduced budgets and insecurity suffered by all Nationwide clubs following the collapse of ITV Digital. August 2002 was disastrous at Burnley FC, leaving them in bottom place after four defeats and with scores of disgruntled supporters. From then on the book chronicles Burnley's recovery and progress with wit, humour, pointed observation and a bit of education thrown in for free. 2002/2003 was a marvellously eventful season, one of the most entertaining for years, with two wonderful Cup runs and some bizarre games. It's Burnley Not Barcelona records the aspirations of supporters blessed, some might say cursed, with dreams of grandeur. Unfortunately dreams come unstuck too often at Turf Moor with results such as Grimsby 6 Burnley 5 on Halloween Night, Burnley 4 Watford 7 and Burnley 2 Sheffield Wednesday 7.
