Gawthorpe...latest news?

[burnley007]

Does anyone have any updates on an official opening date for Gawthorpe?

[Walt]

No, but having watched the camera the tradesmen in vans have been on site a while now and from the last player video internally it was taking shape.

On that basis and the amount of heavy machinery gone I'd say imminently.

Think it is still on schedule to be completed by end of March but not certain whether the first team will move in or not, had been suggestions they would wait until next pre-season.

I was told that the club would be filming an update last week, and that they planned to have that online soon. I noticed a Twitter feed for a kitchen company showing photos of the new Kitchen/serving area in the players lounge, and it looked very close to completion. Carpets, tables and sofas were already in.

Can you let me know the twitter details please so I can have a look?

Believe the u18s are moving in imminently

[eastcoastclaret]

The four photos were on a Google Images search for Barnfield Training Ground. They don't seem to be there anymore, although they were earlier today. Shouldn't have long to wait though, as I know the club were planning on filming an update last week.

Not very professional quoting Dyche as speaking in his gravelly voice.

[Claretnick]

Lots of shouting, bawling and the sound of backsides being kicked when I took the dog for a walk this morning. Nothing else to report

[burnley007]

All looks smart. Hopefully we'll be able to beat non-league sides after all this investment!!

The late Frank Teasdale brought me to visit Gawthorpe . I appreciate that it is being developed for the on going and future generations to enjoy .

[Corky]

Looks like a bog standard works canteen to me. Nothing wrong with that I suppose; do they have to bring a packed lunch now as I guess Burnley Road chippie will be out of bounds given all these new wizzie nutritional ideas.

Fish chips and mushy peas is surprisingly nutritious.
It'll come back into fashion again soon
Alf tupper won marathons on it

Don't forget the roll-ups too!

[Walt]

Just seen Player and Dyche has confirmed 1st team are looking to move in within a couple of weeks.

[eastcoastclaret]

Should be an update on the next edition of Turf More. Hopefully next week.

[Commy]

If there is another edition. I've aged somewhat waiting for it!

Looking pretty much finished, and all the crap and machines are off the car park.

I used to train with Dave Lewis At Rossy Harriers. He was sponsored by Hollands but said it wasn't just a gimmick they were good for you.
He could never have beaten Alf Tupper, the tough of the track though.

[burnley007]

Look forward to seeing the place in action

[ElectroClaret]

The big grey buildings a cracking dry powder store.

[john'sroseyspecs]

Hope they've got good anti flash doors. Don't want all the dry powder going off at once

[Oliasclaret]

Alf Tupper only ran in mile races not Marathons lads. I've just checked in my extensive collection of Victor Annuals !!!!
