The Club were pleased to reveal exciting stadium transformation plans to enhance the matchday atmosphere and fan experience at Turf Moor recently.
The stadium renovations will be carried out in a phased approach and ahead of Saturday’s home game against Sunderland the Club wish to inform supporters of access changes that may affect their entry and exit to and from the stadium.
Home supporters in the North Stand can no longer enter and exit the stadium via Ormerod Yard and will instead gain access and exit via the North East Car park, next to the Clarets Store.
Home supporters in the Barnfield Stand will also not have access to Ormerod Yard, instead supporters will enter and exit onto Harry Potts Way.
Away coaches will now park on Belvedere Road. All visiting supporters will enter and exit the stadium via Ormerod Yard. Only visiting supporters will use this access route.
Belvedere Road will now follow the same road closure timings as Harry Potts Way on a matchday. Belvedere Road will close to vehicle movement two hours prior to kick-off and will reopen again when the majority of supporters have made their way from the stadium safely, approximately 40 minutes after the final whistle. The road will close to road users just beyond the Cricket Club entrance to the Wellington lights junction.
There will be signage and stewards on site on Saturday to help with any queries.
The access changes are part of several enhancements coming to Turf Moor over the coming months, including an all-new team arrival route down Harry Potts Way, the relocation of the tunnel area, the switching of home and visiting supporters' areas for a more impactful walk-out experience and changes to the matchday flow for visiting fans. The developments aim to build stronger links between fans and players, ensuring that supporters visiting Turf Moor enjoy a memorable matchday experience.
Further details about how supporters can get involved in the all-new team arrival will be announced later this week.
The Club wish to thank supporters for their patience as the ongoing stadium development work is taking place and look forward to welcoming fans to the first Premier League home game of the season on Saturday.
