Home matches are played at The 1878 Stadium, previously known as The Gore, which has been recently redeveloped to include a new 3G pitch, supporter stand and club facilities.

Their best run in the FA Vase came in the 1982–83 season where they lost to Halesowen Town in a two legged semi-final (the home match being the club's highest recorded attendance).

In the 2005–06 season, Dave Mudge's Burnham side achieved their best run in the FA Cup, losing 3–1 at home to Aldershot Town in the 1st round proper.

This outcome was mirrored three seasons later, when, under the managerial guidance of Jamie Jarvis, the Blues again lost out in the semi-final of the play-offs, this time to Chesham United.

[7] Burnham then appointed a joint managerial team of Danny Gordon and Gareth Risbridger, who both assumed the role as joint-managers, in December 2014 as Meakin's replacements.

Despite a promising pre-season with two wins, Burnham's new first team suffered their heaviest defeat in six years when they lost 8–1 to Thame United in their first game of the Hellenic League season.

Blissett's first game in charge resulted in a 011 home defeat to Thatcham Town as Burnham's poor start to the season continued.

[18] Due to the heavy nature of this defeat, the result and highlights were available on the BBC website,[19] and discussed briefly in The Guardian "Football Weekly" podcast.

[24] On 11 January, it was revealed that Burnham had appointed two coaches from nearby Slough Town to manage the team in their bid to avoid yet another relegation.

[25] However, that move was met with surprise from temporary coach Luther Blissett who said they and 15 new players were appointed without his knowing, and before he had been informed his services were no longer required.

[29] In the 2017–18 season Burnham were relegated from the Hellenic Premier Division with two games left to play, but they did manage to get to the Bluefin Sport Supplementary Cup final.

In October 2021 Ash James resigned his position due to work and family commitments and his assistant Manny Williams stepped in to take over as first team manager.

In December 2010, Burnham FC applied to the Southern Football League to lay a new third generation (3G) playing surface at The Gore, which was sanctioned in January 2011.

[31][32] During July 2021 this new 3G artificial playing surface was installed at the renamed 1878 Stadium, replacing the original grass pitch to provide all year round football for the players, supporters and local community.
