Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Doesn't going to a place like the Etihad make you glad we have Turf Moor. Thank goodness Burnley FC chose me to support them.

Yes it does. Give me Turf Moor any day of the week.
Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
I thought exactly the same interviews ,greeting players from the bus, themed cafes, shiny happy people having fun etc etc.
Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Ficticous club. Owned by an oil rich gulf state. Old Man City fans, not the new plastic crop, must find their soulless club a revolting spectre.

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Fun? I thought football was a serious business not to be enjoyed, at least not all of the time !
Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
it's like torture supporting the clarets, but it's still better than supporting a club that has all the money in the world

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
For a new stadium i dont mind it aesthetically or acoustically.
The rest of the 'experience' is sickening though.

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Etihad is an awful football stadium. Looks pretty, it's 'nice', organised and got more facilities than I care to mention, etc, but it just doesn't feel right. Happy, clappy shiny shi-te football. Give me Maine Road and The Turf any day.

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
The WiFi in the stadium is top class tho.......when you can’t see what’s happening cos you’re at the back of the top tier you can watch Sky Sports!
Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
The one positive is the conversion job they did from the athletics stadium - no vast expanses from stands to pitch. Not much else to like - I've not even given player ratings because I was that far away that it could have been mistaken identity. And wtf is "Dog Pound and Chips £25" when it's at home?

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Its a very modern, lavishly equipped football stadium.
its good fun to visit, and the facilities are top notch but it didn't feel, well, "right".

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
I had so much fun. Scoring first and losing 4-1 is much more fun to a Burnley fan than it is to a City fan. That tension release when Barnes scored just paid for the whole day.
And to see how fired up we made the city fans round us. They turned round on the bottom tier for each goal just because they wanted to beat us so badly. I hope we made it a good game for them too

We were very curious on this as well and found out it was 4 hot dogs and 4 portions of chips for £25

Excellent modern stadium.
Turf Moor is a real football ground on its original site and in town. It has more meaning.

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Is this going to be our new 'thing'.
Previous (losing) seasons in the Premier League had Clarets claiming the Premier League is rubbish compared to the Championship which is more competitive. Now you're trying to tell me having far less money than the world's richest is better?
Now don't get me wrong, I love my club and everything it represents, but I also didn't think I would be able to enjoy defensive football the way I have in the last couple of years.

I'd rather have ambitions of grandeur, soul, tradition, and a connection to the club than support a state owned plaything?JTClaret wrote:Is this going to be our new 'thing'.

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Oh I agree. But at some point, times will change and some of that obvious tradition wont be as obvious.Foshiznik wrote:I'd rather have ambitions of grandeur, soul, tradition, and a connection to the club than support a state owned plaything?
We stuck with a training ground which was state of the art in the 1960's and ended up as one of the worst in the football league, that has been addressed, but we can't keep stands that are getting old because it represents 'tradition'.
In time Turf Moor WILL change, we just have to hope it doesn't take too much away, but it very well might.
We all love that we are doing so well having being run the way we have, but I'm pretty sure City fans aren't complaining at the moment.

Re: Turf Moor 4-1 Etihad
Agreed, but we can afford that with the premier league money if we continue to build on our previous successes and spend the money sensibly, without becoming a countries' dolly bird.JTClaret wrote:Oh I agree.
