You’re right, suggesting someone take their own food if they don’t like what’s on offer is probably the worst thing anyone will type this week (by the way this post is supposed to be condescending).

I'd suggest that those who look at the matchday experience at other clubs with envy (Spurs and Arsenal have restaurants) aren't really football supporters anyway.

Who would really enjoy a post match meal if their club had lost, especially in a vital game. I'm sure the vast majority of Burnley supporters wouldn't.

For those complaining about the colour of the stand, can I ask you whether you can see it from your seats inside? If you cant, then whats the problem?

The colour choice is designed for the visually impaired I'm told.

Who on earth has asked for them sort of facilities? We have the same facilities, serving the same stuff as when the stand first opened.

But that should just require just the doors to be "greyscale" not the entire building.

Whatever the case, it does appear to be a valid & logical reason for doing so and not just an "on the cheap" option that some were suggesting

It is the contrast in colours that helps the visually impaired.

You need to look deeper into the decision making. Our club was desperate for money and needed a sharp increase in season ticket sales. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect us to sneak into the play offs and win promotion. They didn’t do it for the fans, they did it for the club.

Which just goes to prove that some people will never be pleased. Of course they did it for the fans - the fact that the deal also presented a benefit to the club doesn’t alter this.

But then again, no club has EVER done anything for its fans, certainly not at our level.

The rest of it I can’t pretend to be that fussed about. My seat is comfortable, out of the rain, fairly cheap and points towards a Premier League football pitch.

The tap water temperature obsession isn’t a deal breaker, and I prefer the pub to ground based activities. Man City’s are as extensive and slick as you’d imagine but it’s basically a theme park with some football tagged on.

I tell you, the Turf’s ramshackle history, it’s location and view make it the best in the league. You should be proud, not embarrassed.

Is how normal folk would view this whole subject

Why should they take their experience into account, shouldn't they be focusing their attention on those who whinge about most things connected to the club.

I actually thought I had missed some official announcement with all the new posts on this topic, should have known really it would be more to do with whining about the fanzone, the menu at the ground, even the exterior of the stand is being moaned at (weird when it is by people who won't even be using the facility) and anything that is nothing to do with the new stands.

Bob Lord and the board in the 60’s didn’t have to upgrade our ground, but replaced wooden terraces of the Cricket Field End with a new stand. Prior to that a roof was erected over the Longside, and concrete terracing was put in to the back. Again, they weren’t forced.

Perhaps you’re correct nowadays, although our level is current the Premier League and, being a little flush with money, you’d think we’d have a grand plan, yet we bumble along from one must do job to another.

There are continual improvements to Turf Moor which aren’t forced; Revamped club shop, re-cladded BL stand, refurbished concourses, fan zone, erection of big screen(s), Painted seats, refurbished ticket office, home fan section in the CF stand, games area for kids in the concourse, decoration of exterior of stands with former players... I could go on.

Turf Moor is improved season on season. Most of the improvements have a mutual benefit for supporters and the club alike, as is the case in most walks of life. Some of the improvements are forced (floodlights, disabled facilities etc.) but the majority are not.

I don’t think anyone will argue that some facilities should not be improved on but to suggest that the club never does anything for the fans, or bumbles on from one must-do job to the next is lying at worst and disingenuous at best.

Elsewhere. You wouldn’t need to close the whole stand to develop it. Absolutely no imagination.

Nowhere else I’m afraid. Not enough seats left in the ground to accommodate those who would need to be moved. Absolutely no understanding.

BLS has a capacity of approx 3k.

Add 1000 seats towards the bottom, can do that without moving anyone. Then move 1000 fans from one side of the stand to the bottom whist you work on that side adding disabled seats and access.

I don’t often have to use the online ticketing system but when I have I’ve had absolutely no problems and the tickets have been with me usually the day after.

Have some imagination
I haven't enough imagination to grasp what you're suggesting here. 1,000 seats in front of the Bob Lord stand row A? Is that what you're suggesting? Surely if you have 5 rows of seats in front of what's there now, either the front row will be below pitch level, or the people in Row A now won't be able to see?

Bob Lord Stand would be a better place to put wheelchair bound spectators, I dare say, because the weather is better in there. But putting lifts into the stand would probably involve gutting it; it wouldn't be a little cosmetic adjustment.

I'd be very surprised if they were allowed to use any seats in the immediate area of building work, incidentally.

How about moving some of the Bob Lord pensioners into the CFS. Give them the seats we just took off away fans. Move some more to other areas of the ground. There must be at least 500 walk ons each match. Should have just done up the BLS rather than building two ugly expensive boxes in the corners

It’s almost as if those responsible at the club, and the professional consultants that they have hired have actually put some thought into this after all. Who’d have thunk it?

How about moving some of the Bob Lord pensioners into the CFS. Give them the seats we just took off away fans. Move some more to other areas of the ground. There must be at least 500 walk ons each match. Should have just done up the BLS rather than building two ugly expensive boxes in the corners
You really don't have any understanding of what is being done and why it's being done at all do you? And I'd love to see your ideas put into place which would just about mean the Bob Lord Stand being empty for a year at least.

People forget things move at a more gentle pace in Burnley where football “ improvements “ are involved . Plenty in here still yearn for the old bee hole bogs or even the longside “bogs” ( a **** on the back wall)

You wouldn't need to vacate the whole stand though would you. Loads of clubs develop stands whilst fans remain. Liverpool did it recently


The club have built two eye sores. Lets not pretend that those boxes were the best option

Liverpool built a new stand behind the old stand and it didn't affect the people sitting in it until they were ready to connect up the two, and at that point they had to call games off, including moving one to the Turf.

Burnley Football Club worked alongside the Premier League, alongside EHRC and other organisations before going ahead with this plan. I would have thought those bodies might have just had more idea than you. Who would have thought that your laughable idea could possibly be better.
