One of the new names for the coming season, Dynamo Burnley were formed and rebranded this summer as a result of the merger between the Burnley and Nelson CBR, assuming Burnley's place in the Championship.
Burnley were founder members of the Football Alliance's Fourth Division back in 1980, promoted in 1986 and then steadily climbing the league structure until achieving Championship status in 1993 whereupon they promptly won the title at the first attempt, the only newly-promoted club ever to do so. Champions again in 1997, Burnley spent all but three of the subsequent seasons in the top flight, regaining their place again most recently in 2013 after a season's absence.
Colne Dynamoes were founder members of the Second Division, merging later with Nelson to become Nelson and Colne Dynamoes, then Nelson and Colne United, which club merged last summer with former champions (in 2002) Blackburn Rovers (the 'BR' in Nelson CBR).
