New Turf Moor Colour Scheme

[CoolClaret]

Awful.

I've not been happy with the new owners since the start - the bullshit Pace was spewing was easy to pick up on.

Since then I've been less than impressed also, from the damming report in the Athletic/Atlantic all the way to this.

Going to look seriously grim come winter

“You can’t polish a turd” …But somehow they’ve managed to make the Turf look more of a mess than it already was, quite an achievement in itself really.

Black paint everywhere, odd colours for the turnstiles and exits doors. “WELCOME TO TURF”, doesn’t even make sense.

The LED boards that were supposed to be on the outside of all the stands are non existent, same for the ones proposed for the middle of the tiers and top of the Bob Lord stand. The new curved big screen hasn’t been added and neither has the 2nd screen that’s been in the works for 3 seasons now.

The LED boards haven't arrived yet, they'll be installed ready for the Brighton game. That's all.

The the Big Screens are different screens. They're brand new supplied by Adi.tv who are installing all the other LED stuff everywhere are around the stadium.

They have now added the word 'Moor' (see new pic below) but just in black paint as thats all they had left. It was either a new tin of white paint or Aaron Lennon so a very tough decision for Mr Pace to make

[wilks_bfc]

White text ??

Puzzled me at first, but I think he means the ground "map" sign

Three words to make the
welcome to Turf sign relevant competition.
You're Welcome to Turf my garden
Welcome to Turf layers cracking lawns.
Welcome to Turf home of Burn

It’s going to say Welcome to Turf Moor on both sides of the junction and the burnley crest under the advertisement screen. The sign writer who does work for me is doing it

[Burnley87]

Personally I would have gone with grey and white think it’s looks more modern

Will you please stop spoiling the opportunity to have a good moan .

On the sign showing which stand is which

[mill hill claret]

I think it all looks very smart

[superdimitri]

Looks good to me. Updating stuff to the 21st century. Small changes, that also make the ground easier to navigate for new fans. As for the black, it's been a pretty common away shirt colour in recent years, plus it won't weather badly.

Up close it looked a very dark grey to me

I hear anthracite grey is all the rage now darlings

[dsr]

There was a picture a day or two back where it said "Welcome to T". Do we presume that it's fan pressure made them change it?

It's incomplete, that's all. I don't know why it should take so long, but it will be done, I'm sure.

It was WELCOME TO TU on Saturday.

Welcome Tutu.

Will obviously get a chance to see for myself on Sat, but it looks okay to me

Certainly looks more modern, which is good

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the black paint but that was always planned before the takeover. It was the yellow paint on the Jimmy Mac that I didn’t like.

[ClaretMov]

Love the dark colour it's very modern

Different schemes for each stand is a good idea, certainly for the first time visitors

Guessing that ALK will be aggressively marketing the spaces we have for the majority of our games, which is a no bad thing

[BleedingClaret]

I'm hoping they are going to add the word MOOR to that.

It is worrying cos Dyche does mimic us with the “on Turf”phrase whereas we’re actually saying going on the Turf
In the accent abbreviated form of going “Goin on’t Turf’
Oh dear

[fanzone]

A vast improvement to what it were

It has started with the manager saying on Turf - then we got the programme called Turf from 2014 - I've even heard Ben Mee say on Turf.

I don’t think the 90% of the home crowd that sit in the same stand every game needs a colour code

As for attracting tourists to Turf Moor, good luck with that

[BleedingClaret]

Welcome t’t’Turf

[warksclaret]

Are we not one of the original league founders in which case we should treasure our rich heritage. To me we will soon start to see some hideous decisions including these new corporate colours that can only happen when you get rid of key internal staff who know how Burnley folk think and perceive our club

There are a lot of spaces in the home end for certain games, and I suspect ALK will be trying to fill them with whoever they can.

Look, its not something that we necessarily see as possible, but they clearly do, and it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

The issue with that is that the games with the most space are the least attractive
They could build a 10,000 away end and fill it for Liverpool, Man City & United etc
But if it Crystal Palace on a rainy cold Tuesday night and the empty seats are in the basically uncovered lower tiers of JM & JH stands it’s not that saleable

I know, but they view it differently and will market it differently I suspect.

Will be interesting to see how they do it.

You should be in charge of signage.

[clarethomer]

Stands been allocated colours...
IMG_6825~photo.JPG

Thought James Hargeaves stopped sponsoring the stand - Or did I dream that?

[minnieclaret]

We’ve dropped a t.
It was “are ya goan ont’t’Turf”? = “will one be going onto the Turf”?

[KRBFC]

Where does Turf Moor begin? Shouldn’t that be welcome to the car park?

I thought that too

[KRBFC]

Buy one get one free on black paint?

[cricketfieldclarets]

I'm hoping they are going to add the word MOOR to that.

No just going to add ‘T after ‘To’

Hopefully he’s paid the letter not by the hour

[Jimmymaccer]

On a good old Tuesday night match, rain pitching down……I reckon I’ll run into that wall!!!

It will

I think he may already be

[Rileybobs]

Few thoughts;

The use of the black and grey is a major improvement and gives the place a far more modern look. Obviously we could paint all the walls and clad all the buildings in claret and blue but that would look extremely tacky, and age in no time. The black paint is harder to vandalise and the colour won’t fade as badly.

The Welcome to Turf Moor sign obviously isn’t finished, as it wasn’t when people got their knickers in a twist when the paintwork was left unfinished previously probably due to weather. My neighbour has some scaffold up which I also expect to be removed when the work is complete.

Lastly, the colour coded entrances. Some of the colours look a bit harsh on the eyes, but this is to improve way finding which will assist people who are unfamiliar with the stadium and those with disabilities. Surely doing things that actually live up to this ‘one club for all’ strapline should be applauded.

[karatekid]

Maybe the black is something to do with the proposed electronic signage stuff that’s going to be all around.

[Bfc]

I would rather we had put the money towards signing a player, than improving the exterior of the ground.

All well and good but it’s already been decided by quite a few that whatever is done since the change of ownership = bad.

I was just about to ask whether the new colours have been done for accessibility reasons

[Local cricketer]

What you expecting to buy for the same price as a couple off tins of paint from B & Q?

[jedi_master]

Don’t think that’s fair, people can question the appearance of the ground without it being an ALK piling on session. From what the club said in a meeting I had been to, a lot of this was planned prior to the takeover in any case (especially the LED board and the way finding elements anyway). I personally find the black, whilst modern, a little too depressing. If that’s just me that’s fine!

ALK will rightly be judged in the short and medium term on their ability to close transfers for the first team, not on their choice of colour scheme for an old wall.

[Pstotto]

Business men are notorious skinflints and obviously the message has the usual stoic Burnley ethos scatter gun moral dictation 'Want more, get less.'

[helmclaret]

I find the new colour scheme highly offensive.

The sooner they change it back to how it was before the better.

I for one won’t be going on again until it’s changed back.
