The new CFS “ corner “ atmosphere challenge ?

Post by AlargeClaret » Tue Aug 19, 2025 8:29 pm

I know this has been discussed on other threads but is this actually a permanent ( when completed ) move of the home CFS lot ? The more I think about it ,were further away from. “ linking” to the Longside and have a full away end sandwiched in between . It seems almost suicidal in terms of atmosphere?

It's a terrible idea. I haven't been against ALK at all since there arrival, but the way we've been treated this summer has been awful. Not impressed at all.

We'll be out sung by most teams this season.

Brilliant away day mind.

Initially i said the same thing. The more I think about it though im.wkndering whether it may actually help the atmosphere. Its always easier to kick up an atmosphere when you're near the opposing fans, now I suppose both James Hargreaves lower and CFS will be either side of them rather than Bob Lord on one side.

That’s a good point re: both sets of home fans being close to away lot . Though if the away lot are really singling they could be just nullify the CFS home fans . The CFS has always sounded a bit isolated , I guess we’ll find out soon enough . Maybe the BL will join in …

I must say, all the other potential problems aside, I’ve viewed the change as a potential boost to the atmosphere. It seems to me to make far more sense to have the away fans sandwiched between the Longside and the CFS’s Burnley contingent, rather than relying on a few hardy Bob Lorders to try their best to conjure a retaliatory atmosphere.

Al & co have really gone out of their way to make it a great place for an away fan.

How that helps us, I really don't know.

It hasn’t harmed multiple away teams making more noise than us in that corner. I don’t think the switch has been handled well at all (far from it). But arguments about atmosphere stretch the point too far imo and weaken the more important impacts.

Does it effect you? Do you have a ST in the Cricket Field? If not then you're alright Jack.

Not wishing to open an old chestnut but for me the only way to improve the atmosphere is for home fans to be allocated the whole of the CFS. What a potential advantage thats slipped through our fingers for far too long imo.

Americans have no idea about an atmosphere

Some good varied angles brought up . Obviously it means different things to different people .

One almost unique thing we do /did have at Burnley is the noise actually travelling the full length of the ground via the CFS then down the Longside ,which on the rare occasions we do “ turn it on” the sheer full on roar of “ C’mon Burnley “ is a tremendous sound .
