Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year.

Venue: Turf Moor, Burnley (Sat Nav: BB10 4BX)
Date: Saturday August 13th 2016
K.O. 3pm


Away fans are housed in the covered David Fishwick Stand at one end of the ground. 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 television large 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.

Food on offer inside the ground includes Hot Dogs (£2.20), plus a range of Holland's Pies; Big Potato and Meat (£2.50), Cheese & Onion (£2.50) and Peppered Steak (£2.50). Alcohol is available inside the ground, in the form of Lager (£3.50), Bitter (£3.20) and Cider (£3.50).

Where to Drink?
The Cricket Club Clubhouse is open on matchdays and visitors are always made welcome (wearing colours), which is ideal as it is right next door to the ground'.


The Queen Victoria Public House is another to be recommended, it is Brewers Fair Establishment!

The Bridge Bier Huise pub', which is around ten minutes walk away from the ground, serves good beer and food and is fine for away supporters'. This pub which is in the centre of Burnley is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and in addition to a number of real ales, offers a large selection of bottled beers from around the world.

The Talbot pub (opposite the Sparrow Hawk) for pre match drinks. It is a good sized pub with a large screen tv and plenty of sensible home fans, plus well kept real ale on tap.

Directions and Parking
Leave the M6 at Junction 29 and onto the M65. Leave the M65 at Junction 10 and follow signs for Towneley Hall. This road eventually goes past the ground. There is a car park at the cricket ground by Turf Moor which costs £6. This man below collects the cash when he is not playing International Test Cricket for England.

There is also a private car park available on Doris Street, off Belverdere Road (BB11 3DL), which is around 400 yards from the stadium and costs £5. Otherwise, street parking. There are 200 parking spaces available at the Hollywood Park Cinema on Manchester Road, which has a 'Pay and Display car park. It costs just £1 for six hours, or £2 for all day.

It is only a 15 minute walk away from Turf Moor and is handily placed for easily getting back onto the motorway after the game (on exiting the car park turn right in front of Burnley Manchester Road Railway Station and then first exit at the roundabout to head towards the M65). Sat Nav BB11 2EG. The entrance to the car park is located immediately next to the Hollywood Star 'fayre and square' pub.

Early posting of match details now making me wish away the next 5 days prior to the long trip north, too early to start getting my kit on? Anybody wondering there are still seats on Swansea Travel Coaches, 7 am start from Stadium. COYS

How about this the. Do you think that any of our new, major shareholders will be at the Burnley game? Or do you think that both Jason and Gangsta Chops will be at our first home game of the season against Hull?

Nah you're not allowed alcohol on them.

Looking forward to this, my first game in a while. No idea what the team will be, think I've lost track of who actually plays for us after this summer.

Upthecity!

Llorente
Routledge-Sigurdsson-Barrow
Cork-Ki
Kingsley-Amat-Van der Hoorn-Naughton
Fabianski

I'd replace Llorente with Baston sometime in 2nd half assuming he's fit enough. Am I the only one who thinks Ki is underappreciated?

He was excellent away to West Ham. Ki for attacking passing and Cork for defence could be an outstanding partnership.

Agree. Despite some of the upheaval of the close season, that's not a bad starting eleven plus a pretty decent bench including Leon, Ki, Jeff and - fingers crossed - Baston. We should be looking at avoiding defeat at least.

Southend, always a decent day out. Not a lot there though. All round. For all his youthful misdemeanour Wallace is a superb chap. Looks great in a balaclava 😂
