Bristol City will be at Burnley's home, Turf Moor, for the final match of the current campaign on Saturday.

It has provided a home to the Clarets since 1883, putting the venue second behind Preston's Deepdale as the longest-serving football ground.

Burnley were one of the founder-members of the Football League in 1888 and it wasn't until the Robins joined in 1901 that the two clubs met for the first time.

And what a first meeting that was.

The game, in March 1902, saw Bristol City continue their four-match winning sequence with a 1-0 victory through a Walter Cookson first-half strike in front of a crowd of 1,000.

March 1904 was the first instance of City running riot in this part of Lancashire and, just as before, this 3-2 triumph came during a splendid winning run in which 14 goals were netted in four consecutive victories.

Making the headlines for the visitors that day was Bristol-born Andy Hargett. His brace of goals in the second half kept the Robins in the top five of Division Two.

The most recent 3-2 success came in September 1996, when goals from Shaun Goater (2) and Shaun Taylor gave City their first away win of that season.

In between, there have been many ups and downs for City, beginning with a crushing 4-2 defeat by table-topping Burnley on November 18, 1911.

City came back the following season and recorded a creditable 2-2 draw before a crowd of around 15,000.

In March 1932 the Robins returned to Turf Moor and this time were more successful as goals from Ted Craig and Syd Homer brought a 2-1 victory after a run of 12 league games without a win. Three days later Burnley heaped revenge on City in this relegation dog-fight and walloped them 6-1 at Ashton Gate. The result proved a significant nail in the coffin as City finished bottom of Division Two at the end of the 1931-32 season.

It would be 40 years before the two would come face to face in the league again. City bounced around the second and third divisions but Burnley moved onwards and upwards; regaining top-flight status in 1948 before being crowned Division One Champions in 1960.

It gave them a chance at the European Cup (they lost 5-4 to Hamburg in the quarter-final). They also lost to Spurs in the 1962 FA Cup final.

In September 1972, Burnley faced a City side in buoyant mood; undefeated in their first four league matches.

However, the Robins could only manage a 1-1 draw.

City were on the slide down the divisions when they suffered a 2-0 defeat towards the end of the 1981-82 season, but they returned three years later and grabbed the spoils through a solitary Steve Neville goal.

Bristol City's latest triumph came from Tamas Vasko's first goal for the club in a 1-0 win in December 2007.
