New Turf Moor Colour Scheme

[Tall Paul]

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

Aaron Lennon

Aaron Lennon

Expensive paint you buy then. 75 grand a week for Lennon

[CaptainKirk]

Just ran through this thread.
I presume the "Welcome to.." isn't finished yet and the rest look fine to me.

Either some of you are having a laugh or you really will moan at anything!

I will continue to be a happy clapper. Any Burnley fan over the age of 21 who isn't happy with our Club's recent history is living in cloud cuckoo land and has clearly no idea how business works.

Unless we lose 2 nil on Saturday of course!

[Cirrus_Minor]

Burnley slow to complete yet another signing

Why are you talking about the clubs recent history on a topic about the stadium though? I don't see anyone claiming to be unhappy with our recent history. Fwiw I don't mind the black paint, basic but looks pretty clean.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Fwiw I think it looks great and as above while claret and blue is our colour. Black in this case looks much cleaner and more modern and timeless.

[jrgbfc]

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

Plenty of tourists/foreign accents about on Harry Potts way before a game these days. Obviously covid makes travel a lot harder for now, but it was definitely noticeable pre covid.

[Goobs]

Clearly isn't finished yet. It's welcoming everyone from the message board by name starting with Turfytopper.

Definitely.

There are plenty of Brits that head off abroad and take in a game at less than well known clubs. I’ve done as much myself whilst on trips with the lads.

There’ll be plenty that do the same when on trips to the UK and not just to the likes of Liverpool and United.

[dougcollins]

Black and yellow, nature's warning colours - nothing like putting people on edge on the way into the Jimmy Mac.

[helmclaret]

It’s a damned bloody disgrace.

Let’s face it, these yanks are taking our club to hell in a bloody handcart.

Change it back to how it was NOW Mr Pace and give us our club back.

[whiffa]

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

Did the decorators miss the bus stop on the first pass?

[Top Claret]

It's a pity some on here led by CT have an agenda against the new owners because they're no longer in the loop

It's not your club Tony it's the owners you are just a fan, grow up and stop being a bloody drama queen

Another drama Queen

[Damo]

Imagine getting so worked up by a lick of paint

[Tribesmen]

I like the black idea , make the away team and their fans know this is like coming to hell .

[Peter Loo]

Have these yanks not heard of that quaint old English saying of “If it ain’t broke don’t paint it”

[KRBFC]

Is there any reason you brought CTs name into it?
The ''you are just a fan'' line is funny though, most of the complaints about the new owners have been around ticketing, the one thing fans should have access to/information on.

''you are just a fan, you don't deserve to know about ticketing availability''
''you are just a fan, you don't deserve communication on the legend murals even if the SUPPORTERS club did fund them''

[Gunfury]

There will be an extra 500 goths added to the attendance this season

[Claretnick]

Wow so we are moaning and griping about the painting of the boundary fence now, I wonder if our new American friends will be a little bit dismayed about this

Oh it's your club?
So when are you making some bloody signings?

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

I think we should give a Burnley supporting local artist a free reign to decorate that wall in a Burnley theme as they see fit......

Step forward Mr Pstotto!

Some next level whinging and bed wetting going on at the moment

[BillyHamilton9]

For many years now the stadium has looked tacky and garrish with doors, gates and walls painted in various shades of claret and blue without actually matching the clubs true colours. Since when has that colour of blue on the outside gates and turnstiles been on the shirts or crest? As morbid as the black looks on the outside its a damn sight better inside instead of the awful claret perimeter walls. The club's looked amateur at best for too long and that to me starts from the management in charge of stadium and facilities.
However this is only my observations and opinion and I certainly won't lose any sleep over it.

Yes we have a bit of an interest from Scandinavia I think, don’t know why but they were here without some clever marketing
We’ll attract tourists when we play the big six because of there marketing not ours and we won’t when we play Crystal Palace etc IMO

[boatshed bill]

I'm delighted to be able to see BFC in the English Premier League, but it's turning some of us into a right bunch of ponces..."ooh, the colour's no right" FFS!

[BleedingClaret]

Should have done their homework
That’s why no one likes us

Good post.
The grounds exterior has been tidied up - what’s not to like?

[boatshed bill]

Not so long ago we had to sell the ground, fortunately thanks largely to Barry Kilby we still have one.

[TsarBomba]

Looks good.

Finally, the club is being dragged kicking and screaming out of the 20th century, unlike some fans who are determined it will be forever 1987.

[NewClaret]

The guys on the wind up check his previous posts

I know, my point is that they’re all out at the moment. Think it’s them down the road, struggling with living in our shadow tbh

[Bosscat]

Imagine getting so worked up by a lick of paint

Thats the trouble ... some have been licking the paint

[Claretnick]

Should have done their homework
That’s why no one likes us

Homework about what? should they have run a vote on the colour to use on the external walls and fencing. I imagine the black will be a better background for the player plaques that are going to be re-hung. Why don't we just let these guys run the club without examining every move in minute detail. If it was something major they had disrupted then fine lets protest, but paintwork......

[Burnley1989]

What a ridiculous post.

Most get deleted these days, it’s getting impossible to keep up

[ksrclaret]

This is a terrific thread guys. It really has got a bit of everything to suit everyone's tastes.

Well done to everyone who has contributed so far. Special mention to Helmclaret for that irresistible piece of bait.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Bloody hell it looks better. Much more modern and with the electronic boards everywhere it will all look good. Can’t complain about that. New owners must think is lot are a bloody nightmare... I’ll be happy if we get a decent winger in, never mind if they improve the facilities we use as fans.

[morpheus2]

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

Took this pic for you from in front of the lamp post ....

[Iloveyoubrady]

Also it will obviously say turf moor. There is clearly space for it. Looks smart.

[alf_resco]

9 pages on an unknown third-rate player on the other side of the world who was never going to join us
and 3 pages on the ground's paint scheme.
And some folk wonder why other clubs' fans label us "knuckle-draggers" and the like.
Brilliant, just brilliant.

[beddie]

At the back of the JM Stand there are some memorial bricks, are they still there, I can’t imagine they’ve been painted black?

[Peter Loo]

Just the right colour for graffiti to be plastered all over the place

[Cirrus_Minor]

They can paint it all pink with purple polka dots for me as long as we can put out put out a decent team that can win us enough points to survive.

[helmclaret]

Not sure about anyone else, but shocking nights sleep thinking about this new colour scheme.

Does anyone think an online petition may help get the place changed back to how it was?

It’s good to enter a new season with momentum but things like this are doing unrepairable damage.

Hope everyone is ok, with all that’s happened.

[Claret Till I Die]

There were a couple of weeks ago with the rest of the wall painted around them beddie, so I presume so
