MATCH GUIDE: BURNLEY V BLACKBURN ROVERS - Image 1

Accessing the ground

Access to parts of Belvedere Road and Harry Potts Way will be restricted with Burnley supporters needing to use alternative pedestrian access routes which are described below and highlighted on the map.

From the town centre

If approach from the town centre along Yorkshire Street, you will need to follow the below routes depending on which stand you are sat in.

BOB LORD and UTILITA JIMMY MCIILORY stands please use the alternative route along Todmorden Road and Helena Street.

BARNFIELD CONSTRUCTION (home end) and NORTH please use the route via Albert Street and Ridge Way.

From the east

Fans approaching from the east along Brunshaw Road should access all stands except the Bob Lord Stand via the car park entrance near the Clarets Store at the east end of the ground.

The Bob Lord Stand can be accessed from the east side of Harry Potts Way.

Away supporters access

Away supporters travelling to Turf Moor by coach will have a pre-designated route into the secure coach parking area, adjacent to the visiting supporter turnstile entrance.

Away supporters coming to Turf Moor that aren’t travelling by coach will need to make their way to the top of Harry Potts Way (Wellington junction traffic lights) and will be asked to show their tickets before entering the stadium.

From the north

Fans approaching from the north along Belvedere Road should access all stands via Ormerod Yard.

Increased safety measures

Increased safety and security measures will be in place to reduce anti-social behaviour. This will include enhanced search procedures at the turnstiles. Entry to the stadium will be refused to those who refuse to be searched, as it is a condition of entry.

Supporters should be advised that additional risk mitigation measures have been introduced within the Barnfield Construction Stand including the installation of a ‘segregation net’ between the visiting and home supporter seating areas. This has been introduced following the increase in the throwing of objects across the segregation line.

Any supporter identified throwing objects, will be robustly dealt with by the club and Lancashire Police, with lengthy stadium bans and football banning orders issued.

Arrival

Due to the additional safety measures and the road closures to pedestrians we ask that you arrive at your designated turnstile entrance in adequate time to gain access. Turnstiles will be open from 11am. Please be seated by 12:15pm.

No smoking

Please note, Turf Moor is a strictly no smoking venue and this includes the use of electronic cigarettes. We do provide smoking enclosures in each stand which are available for use at half-time.

Alcohol sales in the Barnfield Construction Stand

For this fixture, the sale of alcohol pre-match will be limited to two drinks per transaction in the Barnfield Construction Stand. No alcohol sales will be made in this stand once the game has kicked off, including half-time.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Harry Potts Way will be closed from 10:30am.

Entry to turnstiles for supporters will open at 11am for both home and visiting supporters.

The safety of all match participants is of paramount importance and we recognise that reckless actions, witnessed at several recent fixtures are carried out by a small minority of fans and the majority of supporters attend and watch matches in a safe and respectful way.

We therefore ask that our supporters adhere to the ground regulations in place at Turf Moor, enjoy the game from their seat and do not to enter the playing area at any time. We remind supporters that it is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and doing so, may result in a criminal record and stadium bans. It also creates a significant safety issue not only for themselves, but for fellow supporters, Club players, staff and match officials.

The Club wants all supporters to enjoy the game safely and thank fans for their continued support.
