Is this for real? Alight obsession with LED boards at the Turf!

[wilks_bfc]

So they are planning on adding a garage behind the JM stand, reducing the space for 2/3rds of the crowd to exit?

[Dyched]

You need to be a special kind of special for whinging about a garage after looking through those plans.

The garage already exists and has for many years.

Look at any modern, successful, club and LEDs feature heavily outside and in. Information, advertising (bringing in cash) and looks better than a sign that would become weather beaten in no time at all.

I’d imagine most of us on here are of a certain generation or two and stuck in our ways. It’s a modern necessity, like it or not.

I’m not whinging about the garage

I’ve only glanced at the images but it seems that they are creating a space to park the team coaches behind the stand, that is already tight for space following the recent adjustments for the fans “Matchday experience”

If I’m wrong then fair enough, I’ll apologise

[Les Lawrence]

FFS,here we go.Let the moaning begin.It takes me a extra 2 minutes trying to get past,that new thing,haha.

[Les Lawrence]

The musics too loud,the lights too bright,**** pies and beer,the shirts not claret,I don't like Paces hat,

[ClaretAndJew]

Change happens, and as Burnley is a business if we want to compete in all aspects of business we need to move with the times.

I know some of you are happy with sitting in your tin baths in front of the fireplace and then having boiled potatoes and corned beef for tea but it’s 2025.

[Pickles]

I like the look of those plans.

[The Shire Claret]

Actually gonna look Mint and I love that Turf Moor has such a great mix of traditional and Modern Features

[Walton]

One thing's been confirmed over the last few months anyway; a lot of those in the JHU have got a God complex.

[Awayfromburnley]

I am not necessarily moaning about them, but feels like polishing the proverbial.

Lovely LED gantry but overhanging a prefab garage (granted the club won't own it)

Stands crumbling

Service, matchday food and customer care generally poor

Ticketing systems that don't work

Roofs that have never offered any rain cover.....

Just feels a bit weird that these kind of things being done when the foundations and basics seemd to be ignored, at the detriment of fans.

Having sat in the Bob Lord for the first time in years last night and been reminded how crap it is, it surely can’t be long before we see some plans to replace it.

Oi! You leave the codger paddock alone! I like my comfy wooden seat and functional roof!

The potential for the all new player's super entrance. Great for the kids to be a part of and to take home some awesome memories. Imagine all this going off to thumping beats and cheering fans

Not sure it screams ‘moving with the times’ when the graphics look like they’ve been done by a GCSE student on photoshop 98!

Custom Labubus too no doubt?

Looks like a headache

[Rileybobs]

It's a hell of a time to be an LED display manufacturer.

[elwaclaret]

It’s all a cunning plan… sell more seats knowing a quarter of the crowd will suffer epileptic fits and another quarter migraines before even reaching their seats…

They can't reach their seats, it's too far

[NottsClaret]

I'm fine with all this, everyone loves an LED display. It's going to make zero difference to my 'matchday experience' but it won't detract from it.

I do kind of like how we're sticking so many shiny things on top of our fairly knackered old stadium. While it's true you can't polish a turd, you can certainly roll it in light emitting diodes.

Ignoring the fireworks going off into the fans, those flames on the roof would be too close to the inflatables. I think you'd have another Phoenix Nights Funday incident if this was carried out

[Vegas Claret]

I'm hoping they can learn a lot from the Espanyol stadium and their fans - a good team will always make the difference but the place is rocking

Depends where you sit in there....

[agreenwood]

I was at the back with a support pillar obscuring my view of the middle of the pitch

[dandeclaret]

Depends where you sit in there....

apparently he was sat next to you.....

[The Shire Claret]

Maybe they could do a roof job to get rid of the pillars in the Bob Lord and put plastic seats in ?

[Claret Till I Die]

I thought that he came off the bench towards the end of the game

[dsr]

I suppose one of the benefits of any sort of "improvements" to the Bob Lord is that they could make the seats narrow, less comfortable, and more plasticky than they are now. Why people want to replace the best seats in the league, I have no idea - perhaps I'm at the time of life when I prefer a comfortable seat to a fashionable one?

They wouldn't be able to make it rain in like it does on the other side because the wind is in the wrong direction.

Straight outta Compton.


[sorry]

Bugger off

[The Shire Claret]

Bugger off

Don't see what that such a reach with all the work they are doing round the stadium ...

I remember a post not too far back about moving out of town but all this work is saying something like that aint happening soon.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Hands off my comfy wooden seat!

[Procrastinate B]

First they came for the Longside, and I said nowt, for I was a Bob Lorder.

Bolied potatoes and corned beef.

Sounds good.

[Jimmymaccer]

Is this the VAR room?

[dandeclaret]

I thought that he came off the bench towards the end of the game

I can only presume he’s not seen this….. plus he’s not really that colour any more….. age gets to all of us, even Wookies.

More strawberry blonde?

[NewClaret]

I think the LED lights look great on a night game. Or at least, they make Turf Moor look a lot better than it otherwise would.

Like the “Up the Clarets!” sign in this too.

Only disappointing thing is the lack of plan for the big work that’s needed - replacement of the CFS and Bob Lord - and you can only imagine that the more we spend on LED’s, the further away that is.

I think those supporters who prefer narrow plastic seats to the wider wooden ones tend to shop at IKEA so their views should be instantly dis-regarded.

[dandeclaret]

Strawberry grey….

[Claret Till I Die]

Strawberry grey….

Some of us are happy to be afflicted with grey hair as others don't get the option.

Ypu'd get rid of the grey hair though if the bottom ever fell out of that David Bellamy tribute act you've got going on.......

[Roger1960]

So the public consultation period on the proposed alterations expires on the 8th October but I’m sure people will have noticed the new wall and relocated turnstiles going in at the old away fans entrance well before any consent is granted. What do you think are the chances of the council planning enforcement officers telling the club to stop work as they would be pretty quick to do if you try and build a house extension before you have permission
