MATCH GUIDE: BURNLEY V WIGAN ATHLETIC - Image 1

Harry Potts Way will be closed from 1pm.

Entry to turnstiles for supporters will open at 1:30pm for both home and visiting supporters.

Harry Potts Way - information

Work is currently taking place on Harry Potts Way, therefore please be aware that the pavement for pedestrians will be narrower.

Supporters leaving the stadium footprint, via The NE carpark (Clarets Store exit) will NOT be permitted to turn right onto Harry Potts Way and walk past the Bob Lord stand. Instead, supporters will need to either turn left onto Brunshaw Road or walk straight ahead onto Higgin Street, then turn right on Helena Street, arriving back at the Wellington lights junction at the top of Harry Potts Way.

This post-match change is due to the narrowing of the carriageway and temporary removal of a footway on Harry Potts Way.

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.
