Enjoyable night apart from the result! UTC.

Good video and you were sat on a couple of seats away from us

An excellent production well put together, good music, Burnley crowd noise and photos.
Captures the night’s experience well - thanks.

Great video.
However, going to Old Trafford reminded me why I enjoy Turf Moor so much.

I agree. With 20,000 on the Turf is such an atmospheric place and OT was like a morgue in comparison. Being so far from the pitch makes it a strangely lifeless experience. These big city club fans have no idea what they are missing.

Been on the Stretford End many times in the 70's, and the atmosphere was great. All seater stadiums, and the removal of 'Kops', killed most atmospheres. Burnley has improved a lot since they opened the Cricket Field to home fans. It's why most teams away support is so much better than at home, fans tend to stand, and it's the more vociferous that go on.

As for match day experience.
Avoided the M62, due to a major traffic incident, so decided to go via Burnley.
Lost 5 minutes trying to join the A56, due to a rear ender on the slip road exit.
Lost 40 minutes on the M66 due to another rear ender.
The planned food before the match had to be shelved due to time.
Finally got to the turnstile, to be told that my tickets had been cancelled, even though BFC had said they would get in touch with the OT ticket office to make sure they weren't.
A trek to the OT ticket office on the opposite side of the stadium, in the middle of a carpark. A big plush ticket office, only Burnley fans had been given a little wooden hut on the side, only 2 windows, and staffed by Burnley office staff.
Some poor bloke was tying up one of the windows for 5 mins, no idea, but the queue, and there were plenty, not moving.
Eventually got in 2.5 minutes in.

I enjoyed the game, not the result, and the view was great.

Journey home, 40 mins to get to the M60. One lane closed on the A56 (south), for roadworks, even though no road works were being done.

I wouldn't live in a town or city if somebody paid me, oh for the joys of North Yorkshire.
