Accessing the ground

Access to parts of Belvedere Road and Harry Potts Way will be restricted with Burnley supporters needing to use alternative pedestrian access routes which are described below and highlighted on the map.

From the town centre

If approach from the town centre along Yorkshire Street, you will need to follow the below routes depending on which stand you are sat in.

BOB LORD and UTILITA JIMMY MCIILORY stands please use the alternative route along Todmorden Road and Helena Street.

BARNFIELD CONSTRUCTION (home end) and NORTH please use the route via Albert Street and Ridge Way.

From the east

Fans approaching from the east along Brunshaw Road should access all stands except the Bob Lord Stand via the car park entrance near the Clarets Store at the east end of the ground.

The Bob Lord Stand can be accessed from the east side of Harry Potts Way.

From the north

Fans approaching from the north along Belvedere Road should access all stands via Ormerod Yard.

Increased safety measures

Increased safety and security measures will be in place to reduce anti-social behaviour. This will include enhanced search procedures at the turnstiles. Entry to the stadium will be refused to those who refuse to be searched, as it is a condition of entry.

Supporters should be advised that additional risk mitigation measures have been introduced within the Barnfield Construction Stand including the installation of a ‘segregation net’ between the visiting and home supporter seating areas. This has been introduced following the increase in the throwing of objects across the segregation line.

Any supporter identified throwing objects, will be robustly dealt with by the club and Lancashire Police, with lengthy stadium bans and football banning orders issued.

Arrival

Due to the additional safety measures and the road closures to pedestrians we ask that you arrive at your designated turnstile entrance in adequate time to gain access. Turnstiles will be open from 11am. Please be seated by 12:15pm.

No smoking

Please note, Turf Moor is a strictly no smoking venue and this includes the use of electronic cigarettes. We do provide smoking enclosures in each stand which are available for use at half-time.

Alcohol sales in the Barnfield Construction Stand

For this fixture, the sale of alcohol pre-match will be limited to two drinks per transaction in the Barnfield Construction Stand. No alcohol sales will be made in this stand once the game has kicked off, including half-time.

Thank you for your cooperation.


STADIUM INFORMATION

Harry Potts Way will be closed from 10:30am.

Entry to turnstiles for supporters will open at 11am for both home and visiting supporters.

Please bring photo ID with you as this may be checked as part of our standard ticketing policy.

We will be serving food and beverages on all concourses and will only be accepting cashless methods of payment.

Alcohol-free lager and cider will also be served in all concourses and hospitality areas.

Enhanced search procedures.... They'll need to be, I've never been searched once at turf Moor in over 50 yrs

[Pickles]

Diagram is clear. My route isn't impacted too much at all.

Busiest game of season.
Early KO
Highly doubt it

The stewards will **** themselves

[Blatherwickstattoo]

No half time beer ?? Very strange

[daveisaclaret]

All seems a bit contrived to me but none of it is a big deal.

[Leisure]

No half time beer ?? Very strange

Wonder if this also applies to the away section?

[Bosscat]

Wonder if this also applies to the away section?

Only 2 shots of Horse Tranquiliser per person in't away section I heard

[Leisure]

It does also apply to the away section. Just checked.

[ShakyLee]

I think it is very poor of the club to release this information with a typo showing the name of Jimmy Mcllroy spelt incorrectly.

[Lancasterclaret]

No big changes to our route either

Hope it all goes off hassle free

[SalouClaret]

No half time beer ?? Very strange

Can never get served anyway due to the staff being seemingly unable to pre-pour pints.

[Tuddybfc]

Really unsure why your choice of seat should dictate if you can or can’t drink or not. Can see the club making a right P*ss up in a brewery over Sunday (except in the Cricketfield!)

Why's that???

[Tuddybfc]

Why's that???

The club and the police I should say.

The ‘map’ just moves the ‘problem’ of away fans stood a few yards up the road

This bizarre suggestion of closing the pubs will leave thousands of Burnley fans stood on the street, which I think makes trouble more likely

No serving beer in the CFS will just encourage people to drink more pre-match

Hardly off to a great start are they?

I'm fairly sure that any groups of home fans will be moved away from the closed off area.
They are serving beer in the CFS but not at ht.
The pubs aren't closing after the game. They have been asked to either close their front door and control entry via the rear door or to staff the front door and only allow regulars/people with home tickets.
Easy to criticise. What would you suggest they should do?

I’d suggest serving as usual in the CFS, as I say I think it’ll encourage to people to drink more pre-match

I think it’s safer for the away fans to congregate on one side of Harry Potts Way as is often the case (with coaches acting as somewhat of an additional barrier) as opposed to that congregation occurring at the top of the road

The pubs, let’s see how it goes, I’ve seen other posters on here saying they will be ignoring the requests regardless

If they drink excessively pre-match they then run the risk of not getting in.
Keeping fans away from each other after the game and not allowing them to congregate seems very sensible to me.
Not sure just how someone can ignore the request of door staff to show them your ticket? No ticket, no entry.

[bumba]

I don't think people will need any encouragement to drink more pre match people will stay out from Saturday night or get up very very early to start drinking.
The problem not serving beer at half time to either sets of fans means your encouraging them all to stay in there seats with nothing to do except wind each other up and goad each other. At least if both sets of fans are underneath having a beer there out of the way

[Middle-agedClaret]

I truly do not understand why alcohol seems to be an integral part of going to a game of football for some people.

[Roosterbooster]

Thanks for the info Leisure

Frankly it seems like the authorities have done a reasonable job of managing the situation as best they can. Damned if they do, damned if they don't really. I just hope people can behave themselves. Not holding my breath mind...

I think you are wasting your time trying to explain to some on here, give them all the answers and they'll still come up with a non existing problem

Each to their own but a few pints with friends pre and post match is all part of the day for me. At times in recent years it’s been more fun than the actual football.

[Vintage Claret]

Me too, but personally I'm really not that arsed about having a beer before noon on a Sunday, but as you say, each to their own.

I'll have one or 2 after the game to hopefully celebrate a great win

[Goalposts]

We should show a video of burnnley and Blackburn’s players that died in the war to show that for all our tribalism we are basically the same , in terms of culture , regionality and family

Can you take your own beer on

[Taffy on the wing]

Only 2 shots of Horse Tranquiliser per person in't away section I heard

Those are for on their way home......after a proper footballing lesson...(i hope).

Like it . They should show on big screen the name and home town of every east lancs regiment lad who died in WW1 . Imagine what those brave men would think of us .

The East Lancs Regiment raised a total of 17 battalions; it was awarded 61 battle honours and 4 Victoria Crosses, losing 7,000 men during the course of the war.

Supporters should be advised that additional risk mitigation measures have been introduced within the Barnfield Construction Stand including the installation of a ‘segregation net’ between the visiting and home supporter seating areas. This has been introduced following the increase in the throwing of objects across the segregation line.

What happened to the segregation net?

[Hibsclaret]

What happened to the segregation net?

It was the only net Rovers could find so they took it back with them on the coach. Now being used on Brereton’s yacht to catch the odd tiddler.
