Any ground improvements?

[Burnleyareback2]

Normally something to spot in the new season but does anyone know of any changes in or around the ground?

Enjoy the game UTC

[ClaretInLeeds]

Yeah, it will be full.

[clarethomer]

Yeah, it will be full.

I bet it won’t be.

Usually ST holders on holiday so whilst it may be a sell out, I’m not sure it will be full

[Burnleyareback2]

San Miguel on tap- that was the only change I spotted.

[Leisure]

Sold out of pies by ht in the Longside Upper, so no change there then!

[Devils_Advocate]

Seat share seems to be a new initiative they've introduced this season

[Quickenthetempo]

The fenced off section on the Longside carpark was much smaller which was great for the flow of fans.

The Sam Miguel that had been pre poured and topped up was awful.

[MACCA]

The new magnetic grass to keep the ball on the floor is a great addition, far easier to spot with my eye sight than when it was constantly in the sky.

Hope we keep it

[gandhisflipflop]

Still can’t hear the tannoy. Stewards blocking the view as well.

[Bosscat]

Tannoy in JMU is the worst its been for a long time

No Sky wagons, loads more room.

[burnleybonzo]

Tannoy in JHU non existent, WiFi seems to be even worse than last season. Electronic signage outside looked good.

[lakedistrictclaret]

I got to the ground at 2.35pm. They'd already run out of programmes.
Agree with comments re tannoy. You couldn't hear it at the top of the JHU.
It would be helpful if the electronic screens showed a list of the substitutes as well as the starting lineups.

[Top Claret]

Less advertising around the ground on the electronic screens due to no premier League sponsorship

Was a terrific picture on my new 85 inch TV, One thing I noticed was the picture was alot better.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Fanzone gone downhill as no Bowland beer anymore, just the normal cat pi$$ now.

Are you surprised at that?
When ever I pay for a beer anywhere I want it poured in front of me and not sitting around for twenty minutes going flat....

Didn’t realise we had Wi-Fi available?

[Top Claret]

Noticed we had sky results on the TV screens at HT that's loads better than having to keep watching highlights of the 1st half

Totally agree

I didn't buy the beers, just watched on in horror from a distance as she grabbed a lifeless beer from the shelf.

I later found out it was £5.50 a pint for good measure.

Edit JHU not JMU ffs

[beddie]

Can’t hear a thing from the Tannoy in the JHL, mind you it’s been like that for years. Don’t want it louder just clearer. Also I can’t read the h/t results on the screen with the new graphics they use.

Big screens are useless now it’s just ads and live action again rather than the lineups. The one opposite the JHU is too small to read anything anyway

My experience. Same time arrival.

I would add that the claret background and blue writing makes it impossible to read the half time scores, which were inaudible in Longside Upper.

£5.50 for San Miguel.

That’s dearer than it is in Spain.

[agreenwood]

I think the fanzone is a great addition. No frills, but for 90% of the season it’s going to be better than standing in a car park getting wet.

[wilks_bfc]

Fanzone gone downhill as no Bowland beer anymore, just the normal cat pi$$ now.

If that’s the case then that’s very disappointing

Fanzine is great . Just need to get Moorhouse’s in now .

[thomaspaine]

They do have Wainwrights on draught.

[wilks_bfc]

They do have Wainwrights on draught.

Really?
That’s my pre match sorted then

[Granny WeatherWax]

They do have Wainwrights on draught.

Yeah, that’s like walking into a pub and saying ‘it’s alright, there’s no decent lager but they’ve got Carling”

Catpi$$. Need to get a partnership with a decent local brewery.

^^^^^^ This

Why is it so difficult to fix the PA system?

Also I didn’t realise Turf Moor had a nuclear oven for the pies.

I saw a number of those pies

I think they were left over and switched on since the Newcastle game

And it’s a quid more than the bowland pint used to be!!

£5.50 for a pint of flat dishwater,can people not go 90 minutes without a beer,some people have way way to much money paying that for that. cost of living crisis...humbug

[Steve1956]

Just seen the prices of a 500ml bottle of coke at West Ham

£4.50....this can't go on ...can it?

£7.60 for a pint of Lager...will never again complain about the price of a Twix on the Turf.

[Sozturf7]

Wow West Spam know how to charge. Mind you they have to pay for their new signing.

Thats because of the sugar tax where they have to charge more for drinks like coke.

[jollyjack]

Bandwidth on O2 4G an issue for anyone else? Was connected but no internet throughout the game.

Same on BT and my near neighbour on Vodafone same ... hit and miss interweb ... I reckon its down to the number of folk trying to use it in a tight area

It's Wet spam

No sugar in water but it's over £3 because it's smart.

[Bosscat]

There is warm water in the longside loos too (probably been requested by the resident columbian marching powder users to wash their faces after a short snort)

[daveisaclaret]

Does anyone know why they put a little fence up after the match outside the corner of the Jimmy Mac and the Longside? It was in everyone's way which to me seems like a bad thing.

There was a man being very mean to a steward about it and I think he was right although he didn't need to swear so much

I've recently switched from Lebara (Vodaphone) to Lyca (O2), i couldn't use the internet at all on Saturday.

[jos]

Giff Gaff mobile (runs on O2 network) with no signal whatsoever, I sit just in front of the media in the longside and I think they had working phones, I’ll have to ask what network they are on!

They probably have access to the club wifi.

Ah yes…. Good spot.
