Is there a stand at Turf Moor that you haven't been in?
I've watched a game in every part of Turf Moor, but then I have been going for a lot of years!
I was surprised though, to learn that there are fans, even older than me, that have never been in certain parts of the ground.
If you haven't been in a certain stand... put it on your bucket list!

Never been in Jimmy Mac. Bee hole end many times but never since the stand was built. Watched from everywhere else including the home and visitors directors box

Not been in the Jimmy Mac. Only ever been in the Cricketfield once.
Re: Is there a stand at Turf Moor that you haven't been in?
No. Been in them all from them being terracing (CF stand, Longside, Beehole and Brunshaw Road Enclosure) or seating (CF stand, JH Upper and Lower, JM Upper and Lower and Brunshaw Road stand).

When we had a reserve team that played on the Turf, the BL Stand was the only stand open.Bin Ont Turf wrote:Bob Lord

And Saturday afternoons. At one time that was the only way you could find out how the 1st was doing when they were playing away.fidelcastro wrote:When we had a reserve team that played on the Turf, the BL Stand was the only stand open.

Directors box. I try every home match. I get through reception, then always get found out. Nevermind, back the CFS.

No. Including old stands long side bee hole etc.
Re: Is there a stand at Turf Moor that you haven't been in?
Yep all 8.
Was great in the late 50's at Saturday reserve games when they would announce the latest score from where the first team were playing.
Not so great in the mid 80's when you had to shout to talk to the fan nearest to you.
I suppose it is 9 not 8 since the Longside was uncovered when I first stood in the Turf.

Re: Is there a stand at Turf Moor that you haven't been in?
I’ve never sat in the Jimmy Mac upper and have only sat in the two lower tiers once each. I’ve no desire to tick off the other stand though. I like my own seat.

I'm a 'Old Longsider', then transferred to JH. Seen one match in JMc and one in Bob Lord. Never been in Cricket Field.

I was forgetting those, Milord, but then again they are reserved for disabled fans and therefore shouldn't count.Lord Beamish wrote:I’ve not been in either of the two new corner stands.

And no doubt stewards and other club staff - but not the general public.
As of course you understand.

Indeed they are, Milord, but in this instance they form a separate group housed in stands restricted to their own use.
As of course is bleedin' obvious.

The Bob Lord, I don't look old enough yet to be allowed in.

Re: Is there a stand at Turf Moor that you haven't been in?
I’ve had at some point or other season tickets in every stand (inc. Longside and Bee Hole)except the Jimmy Mc upper. I think the only time I went in there the lights went out against Walsall.
All things considered the best stand by far is the Bob Lord!

Been in em all and also remember going upstairs in the old Brunshaw Road stand (the forerunner of the BL) and also in the paddock in front of it.

Never been in JMU and never made it to the old Brunshaw Rd stand upper.
Done all the rest many times. BL & new CFS mainly for reserve and youth games.

I have watched a game from every viewing point in terms of stands/boxes at Turf Moor a part from the 2 new corner stands.
