Burnley’s ground, Turf Moor, has been their home since 1883; it’s is one of the longest continual occupations of a ground by any club in the League. Half the ground was re-developed in the mid-1990’s with two smart looking new stands being opened. The first of these the James Hargreaves Stand was opened in early 1996. It has two large tiers, with a row of executive boxes, housed between them. This stand replaced the famous Longside Terrace, which was a big steep covered terrace. Later in 1996, the Jimmy McIlroy Stand was opened at one end of the ground. This two-tiered stand is similar in design to the James Hargreaves Stand, which gives half of Burnley’s ground a uniform look. In 2019 two new three-storey structures were built to fill in the corners on each side of the Jimmy McIlroy Stand. These feature viewing areas for disabled fans and on one of these new structures in-between the James Hargreaves and Jimmy McIlroy Stands, there is a large video screen.

The other two sides of Burnley’s stadium are much older and look out of place next to their shiny new neighbours. The Bob Lord Stand at one side of the pitch was opened in 1974. It is a small all seated single tiered stand, with a row of supporting pillars running across its middle and has windshields to either side. The Ladbrokes Stand (formerly known as the Cricket Field Stand) at one end of the ground was opened in 1969. Again it is a simple looking single tiered stand that has some supporting pillars. The teams enter the playing area from a tunnel located in-between the Ladbrokes and James Hargreaves Stands. As the team dugouts are located on the other side of the stadium, in front of the Bob Lord Stand, then this leads to quite a procession of players and staff, at half and full time.Are there any plans to develop Burnley’s stadium right now? Yes. What are they? Well, that’s a little harder to answer. The executive committee at Burnley have been open that they intend to improve Turf Moor but specifics have been kept largely under wraps. All we know is that the Cricket Field end is first on the hit list. That said, changes to this end of the Burnley’s ground for a while with the first murmurs of change coming back in 2008; a variety of factors has prevented the large scale changes to this point with minor alterations – like switching to plastic seats – used to prevent the stand deteriorating.

Away fans visiting Burnley’s ground are housed in the covered Ladbrokes Stand at one end of the ground. Visiting supporters are housed on one side (towards the Bob Lord Stand), where 2.414 seats are allocated. This stand is shared with home supporters which coupled with the stand having good acoustics, normally makes for a good atmosphere. The Club have at long last spent some money on improving the facilities in this stand. This includes new turnstiles as well as a refurbishment of the undercroft and toilets in this stand. What was a dark dank concourse is now quite pleasant complete with large television screens. However, the seats are still the old wooden type (although they have been painted recently) and if you end up being seated behind a supporting pillar, then the view is not great. On a brighter note, then in one open corner at the far end, you can see beyond Burnley’s stadium, the Pennine hills rolling into in the distance.
