Burnley CC fan park

[Inchy]

I'm not sure what I can and cannot say to prove this but, for what it's worth, take my word as a lifelong member of BCC and active volunteer down there: It is 100% nonsense.

Fair enough.

You reckon the CC would be willing to let the FC extend the CFS back a few meters? The dead space between the boundary and the stand wall?

Reckon the CC would play some home games elsewhere whilst redevelopment took place?

Would make redevelopment much easier for the FC. If the CC would be willing it Makes it more shocking the FC has done nothing to the CFS

99% may not be supporters of the cricket club, but I would imagine somewhere near 99% of Burnley fans have no desire to try and in effect punish the cricket club

How does the club in effect punish the CC by wanting to attract fans to their bars?

The FC should be actively trying to attract any fan that drinks at its next door neighbour to its bars.

If the stupid CFS and exit changes have been done to knee cap the CC then that would be daft. I honestly don’t think Alan is that bright. He just wants to have American college football style player walk in. Crack pot

Before you even consider specifics like the fact that there isn't dead space between the boundary and stand wall (training nets, covers storage, seating area, player car parking), Burnley FC would have to have presented actual plans that work for both sides.

Whenever BFC have actually properly explored this - many, many years ago now - of course BCC worked with them. This is a fact.

So, yeah, it is shocking, actually, how BFC are behaving.

It's almost like that's been my point all along.

Those things could be moved elsewhere surely. It’s not a complete enclosed pitch.

If the FC presented plans that did work for both sides you reckon the members would be likely to vote for it?

It’s not hard to imagine that the FC would have to bend over backwards for some members who don’t have any interest in football, even though they earn a lot of money off the back of the FCs attendance.

You say it’s shocking how the club are behaving. How so?

Going off previous evidence, yes.

The last time I know for fact that it got that far, I was still a kid (I'm now nearly 37) so couldn't have any say but it went through at the BCC end and proper plans were drawn up for a relocation of BCC. There was a leaflet made about the pros and cons for members.

And, as a side note, football match day income isn't anywhere near what people seem to think it is. It's not the sole lifeblood of BCC.

Anyway, main point being: BCC are not the bad guys here. BCC isn't blocking any progress for BFC.

That's a mad take from an otherwise normally rational poster, are you ok Inchy?

I actually thought the same thing.

My mate is pleased about the switch. He’s a Sunderland fan who is now in a wheelchair so he won’t have as far to go to get to the turnstiles from the cricket club.

As for the bottleneck, I’ll be in that come Saturday instead of going up Ormerod Yard. These changes are definitely not going to enhance my experience.

Only fan experience their enhancing is the away fan's as far as I can see. But certainly not the home fan's.

I’ve been posting on here and the old site for 20 years. I’ve posted my fair share of sh*te make no mistake

[CPCC]

Honestly these muppets should just have a straightener
