Just downright ridiculous what this club are putting us through for no obvious reason
I reached out to Burnley Police on X a few weeks ago about the safety of the changes. They stated that BFC were aware of the issues it has caused and were working on plans to improve the crowding.

I park and walk from the far end of town, on a Saturday match. The extra walk around 3/4 of the ground is a killer.

My personal match day experience is much poorer, Or Pace.

Next they will fill the apacecwhich gives a view if the Cricket ground. That will effectively end the visible link between the 2 clubs. That would be sacrilege.

Cricket field stand walkway to enter and exit the stand is far far narrower. People congregating towards the end of the match stood still blocking the exit. Saw a few people struggling to move past. Atmosphere in there much better though with it being compact. Bob lord even got a song going yesterday which was very pleasing. Well done old chaps and ladies
Ey. I’m only 42! :D

Maybe you can ask the question at the meetings you go to.

If they keep the away team buses there at end of games, I think they are basically saying we don't give a xxxx about the vast majority of fans. Is it so important to save PL players a short walk in the rain?
