New Turf Moor Colour Scheme

[BleedingClaret]

Took this pic for you from in front of the lamp post ....

No no no
The O needs to go to
Welcome t’t’Turf

[BleedingClaret]

Homework about what? should they have run a vote on the colour to use on the external walls and fencing. I imagine the black will be a better background for the player plaques that are going to be re-hung. Why don't we just let these guys run the club without examining every move in minute detail. If it was something major they had disrupted then fine lets protest, but paintwork......

They should have realised if you marry into the clarets family you get at 10.000 naggers

[ŽižkovClaret]

Thought James Hargeaves stopped sponsoring the stand - Or did I dream that?

I do hope someone has told them he wasn't a former player....

[NottsClaret]

Honestly couldn't give a s**t what colour they paint some walls near the ground. There's genuinely quite a few things to be concerned about with the club at the moment, a dark grey wall isn't one of them.

[helmclaret]

At the back of the JM Stand there are some memorial bricks, are they still there, I can’t imagine they’ve been painted black?

What a ridiculous comment and sums this thread up.

[dsr]

Fwiw I think it looks great and as above while claret and blue is our colour. Black in this case looks much cleaner and more modern and timeless.

Hang on, hang on - it can be modern, or it can be timeless, but surely it can't be both?

[chekhov]

No no no

If you think about it, when you actually say it it’s not t’t’Turf, it’s are you going down Turf, the t’ is merely implied, a linguist probably has a name for it, like glotal stop or something. If you were describing your new duvet made from feathers and grass, you would say, “my quilt’s filled with a down turf combination”, in a completely different way.

You keep my bedroom preferences out of this

I have an Accy accent but still pronounce it as Turf "More". But if I was to say Saddleworth I pronounce it "moo-er". Only noticed it recently.

Black paint must have been going cheap...

The back of the CFS looks a real mess on this picture and clearly visible from the road......could've done with a lick of paint or some replacement cladding

Memorial bricks? Excuse me beddie, I'm still alive (I think) and I have one on there.

But to answer your question, yes they are still there.

Yes of course, apologies for that, we have a couple there in memory of a dear friend, my wife’s also just pointed out my error. Hope I haven’t offended anyone.

Not offended beddie - just thankful to still be alive

There is somebody busying himself completing the WELCOME TO TURF MOOR lettering this morning

[Steve1956]

Where does Turf Moor begin? Shouldn’t that be welcome to the car park?

Brilliant

On a match day, the whole of Harry Potts Way becomes part of the footprint.

[FeedTheArf]

I'd imagine they're waiting to find a new sponsor for the stand before investing in new signage

[martin_p]

Presumably they’re giving anyone called James Hargreaves first dibs before they take the old signs down.

We shouldn't spend a single unnecessary penny on the CFS since it will clearly be replaced sooner rather than later.

You'll be happy to hear it now says "Turf Moor"

[Rileybobs]

Can anybody watching Dyche's press conference confirm whether he's commented on the new paint job? Although knowing Boden he won't even dare to ask him.

[claptrappers_union]

Just driven by and the ‘Moor’ has been painted on

[Peter Loo]

Have they re re painted it yet?

[JohnMac]

Being a crusty OAP I am well impressed with the changes that are dragging the Club into the 21st Century. The colour scheme is definitely 'on trend' and looks excellent. The digital advertising on the corner really caught my eye early, especially when it was advertising 'ELVIS LIVE AT THE TURF'. I thought 'These Yanks are miracle makers' until I realised it was just a tribute act booked for the Turf Hotel. I got into the ground to find Lennon had been resurrected which played havoc with my thought process

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

No no no
The O needs to go to
Welcome t’t’Turf

Only one t is needed surely?

Welome t'Turf

They don't show the bit for the written press

Ah. Hopeful that the Burnley Express will have a big exposé on this tomorrow then.

They don't get lucky with the press conferences which come after the BE has gone to print.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Nice! Thanks

[martin_p]

You asked, I deliver

Why’ve they painted a woman across one of the O’s? Is it supposed to be some sort of Banksy homage?

[mill hill claret]

Looks good

[RattyClaret]

That’s Moorene she’s taking over as mascot from Bertie

[Spijed]

Memorial bricks? Excuse me beddie, I'm still alive (I think) and I have one on there.

On a side issue, who looks after the memorial garden as it seems to be expanding little by little?

I’m not sure, but I drove past last week and they were replanting it with some lovely black perennials.

[LoveCurryPies]

I took a detour and drove past this afternoon. Think it’s all looking great!

Why do people always dislike change and judge things that aren’t finished?

It’s really soul destroying when you are trying the create something new.

The bus stop adds a certain " Je ne sais Quoi "

[tiger76]

The "Bob Lord Blue" doesn't look too bad, but I'm not sure about the "Jimmy Mc Yellow"

It looks hideous in the photo's. maybe it looks better close up, but I somehow doubt it, Yellow always comes across as garish to me, far too bright.

[Dyched]

The black looks superb imo. I’m not into all this “everything must be club colours” shite. Goodison looks ****. Look at that stupid thing on the Old Trafford cricket ground. ******* red. Shite.

[2 Bee Holed]

You asked, I deliver

Personally, I like the big, darker, weird-shaped U after the word Moor.
It looks stunning.

[Local cricketer]

So the knicker wetters on just needed a little patience

[Spijed]

Is that car park for the directors?

[Bosscat]

Is that car park for the directors?

No I think its for cars

Would you stick our crest on't th'end of it?

Crest would look good but reckon it be too tricky to paint it on a wall. Think even Banksy would struggle with artwork as technical as that

I was going to suggest Hans Holbeining it for an interactive experience approaching from the culvert but you're right

Yes definitely, looks mint.

FWIW other than the crazy colouring around the entrances the place looks miles better. Gutted I can,'t be there on Saturday but hoping if the electronic boards the ground will look miles better again.

That bus stops missing a Smashed up shelter to add to the reality of what Burnley's Really Like.
