Turf Moor facilities etc
If we qualify for the Europa League (hopefully not wishful thinking) will we actually be allowed to use Turf Moor? I know the pitch size is the exact measurements of the minimum requirements, but I suspect many of the other must haves arent currently at The Turf.
May be the case that if we do qualify we have to rent Ewood Park
Wonder how many of the boxes we tick? For group stages you MUST Have a level 4 stadium. (Atalanta had to play at Sampdorias stadium this year for example despite being in Serie A for almost 60 seasons).

Considering teams in Eastern Europe and the far reaches of outer Mongolia seem to play in the competition I suspect our ground looks like Wembley stadium in comparison to some of theirs.cricketfieldclarets wrote:If we qualify for the Europa League (hopefully not wishful thinking) will we actually be allowed to use Turf Moor?

Many use other teams grounds if theirs doesnt fit.

If we can cope with the Prem, we can do Europa! Super lights, all seats, pies, ale. Sorted!
Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
The team that played Arsenal - Östersund have a small ground. I can't imagine it would be up to scratch for the competition.

Its not the size of turf moor that will be the problem. Its the size of the facilities in and around it among other things.

Looking at that pic I can't imagine they have better facilities than us. Looks a sparse ground, to say the least.cricketfieldclarets wrote:it holds over 9k. The minimum is 8k.

I can't see them having 2 TV studios or 400 squares metres of a VIP area.

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
Prem facilities regulations are the toughest to meet, our media facilities meet that so they will be ok for Europe, for eg, tv cables, power etc is already hard wired which was a stipulation as was the advanced flood lighting system.
Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
Atalanta played away from home (in Sassuolo's stadium) because their ground was being rebuilt. Nothing to do with not meeting regulations.

I really do enjoy the fact that people worry about things which may or may not happen etc.----It does save me such a lot of stress.

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
Could all be accommodated no doubt if need be - wouldn't be too hard to remodel a room in the JMc stand to be a "studio" or JH stand facilities to be a "VIP area".

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
I’m not sure how many our post match press area holds, although I suspect it’s less than 75, but we have enough studio facilities etc. We’ve had UK and overseason broadcasters at the same time previously haven’t we?, and one of the areas is the corner of the Jimmy Mac near the police box with a view of the pitch.
Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
I'd be surprised if Premier League rules don't match the European rules. We had to make loads of upgrades, especially to the media department, to fit the Premier League rules; and as next year is our fifth recent season up there (up here, I should say!) then we won't be in a transition period. So I would think there wouldn't be a problem.
A lot of the stuff like VIP seats and a second studio out of sight of the pitch, shouldn't be too difficult to improvise.

Everything is in place and we have two studios and both within sight of the pitch because they are Premier League requirements.dsr wrote:I'd be surprised if Premier League rules don't match the European rules.

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
I regularly go to watch Bangor City in the Europa League (well once per season) and they play home games at their own ground, so I can't see any problem with Turf Moor being up to scratch.

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
Two things need attention
1. Sort out the concourses in the James Hargreaves and Cricketfield stands .
2.Reduce the price of Twix .

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
Maybe we can just put up a marquee for the media stuff, there’s always a way. Anyway, would be a nice problem to have.

Re: Turf Moor facilities etc
If Irish and Scottish teams have been in this competition like they have then we must be OK
