The release of the 2010/11 fixtures next week will confirm the Clarets' place back in the Championship.
A return to the Football League will present Brian Laws' men with an exciting new challenge to try and regain their place among the elite.
But before that we decided to have one last fond look back over a memorable year of Premier League football to remind us of what we will all be striving for at Turf Moor again next season.
APRIL
The time of reckoning!
It wasn't so much April showers as a deluge at Turf Moor at the start of the month.
As the heavens opened up above, it also rained goals on the pitch as Manchester City romped to a 6-1 defeat.
Big-spending City romped into a 5-0 half-time lead to leave the Clarets staring down the barrel.
Referee Alan Wiley resisted the temptation to abandon the game in the second half as Brian Laws' men just about kept their heads above water to share a goal apiece after the break.
Steven Fletcher added another classy finish to his collection, while big pal Kevin McDonald opted to stay in the dry and watch from elsewhere!
It rained goals when City came to town
That made the trip to relegation rivals Hull an even bigger test of character and the Clarets weren't found wanting as a stunning 4-1 win revived survival hopes.
Burnley went behind to an early goal but Martin Paterson pounced to level and captain marvel Graham Alexander then kept his legendary cool to score twice from the penalty spot.
Wade Elliott's wonderfully executed injury-time free-kick fittingly capped a memorable first away win of the season as the media knives were sharpened in the direction of the Tigers instead.
With the away-day monkey off their back, the Clarets headed for Sunderland with renewed optimism but frustratingly they were too slow out of the blocks to keep the revival going.
Pato launches a Tiger kill
The Wearsiders went into a 2-0 lead at the break and although substitute Steven Thompson led a second-half fightback with a well-taken goal, shock wins for Bolton and Wigan elsewhere left the Clarets again fighting for their lives.
Results elsewhere were of paramount performance and things didn't go Burnley's way when West Ham held their nerve to beat Wigan.
Hull's demise was confirmed but suddenly the Clarets needed to win three out of three to have any chance of staying up.
And alas, it wasn't to be. Laws' braves fell at the first hurdle with a 4-0 home defeat by Liverpool confirming the worst and bringing a memorable Premier League adventure to an end.
Down but not out
MAY
The Clarets licked their wounds at St Andrew's where they meekly accepted their fate in a tame 2-1 defeat.
Birmingham were rarely troubled in settinga new club record of 15 top-flight home games without defeat, although Steven Thompson again came off the bench to strike to cause some late flutters.
But Burnley made sure they would go out with a bang, saving their best until last to sign off with a remarkable 4-2 win over Champions League-bound Tottenham at a packed Turf Moor.
Flying finish as Spurs blunted
When Tottenham cruised into a 2-0 win it looked anything but a happy ending.
But after Wade Elliott had halved the deficit just before the break, the Clarets went on the rampage in the second half with three goals in 32 glorious minutes.
Jack Cork's first for the club, another from Martin Paterson and Thompson's late deflection earned the points which lifted Brian Laws' boys above Hull into an 18th-placed finish.
Not quite enough but a sweet memory to savour as we Dare To Dream again.
Thanks for the memories
But we will be back
