Important information for supporters attending Turf Moor

Burnley Football Club can confirm the following arrangements for supporters arriving at the game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday 31st August (12:30pm KO).

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 approaching 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 Jimmy McIlroy stands please use the alternative route along Todmorden Road and Helena Street.

Barnfield Construction stand (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.

From the north

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

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.

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 will be in place within the Barnfield Construction Stand including 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.

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 at half-time.

To achieve a successful matchday operation, we are looking for support and understanding of all those in attendance. We thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation and whilst we appreciate there will be some inconvenience, we attempt to keep any disruption to a minimum.

Enjoy the game, and we look forward to welcoming you to Turf Moor on Saturday!
