Worthington Cup 2nd round 1st leg

Main Telephone No: 01282-700000
Ticket Office: 01282-700010
Fax No: 01282-700014
Ticket Prices:
7.00 for adults and 3.00 for concession (senior citizens and under 16’s). Concession prices will not be available on the night
Away fans are housed in the covered Cricket Field Stand (named because there is a cricket field behind it) at one end of the ground. This stand accommodates 4,125 supporters. Burnley are generally a well supported club and there is normally a good
atmosphere, however this can sometimes become quite intimidating for the away supporter making your way around the ground.

20 spaces in Cricket field stand, advisable to book through Burnley FC ticket office
Palace Coaches
Depart Holmesdale Road at 12.15pm fare is 18.00 members and 20.00 non-members
Pubs etc:
Some Burnley fans down for the game last week suggested the Working Mens' Club The Plum Street Miners - on Plum Street? as the best place to drink (most pubs are a bit dodgy for away fans, apparently). 20p to get in, and £1.40 a pint, never any trouble.
110 Club on Yorkshire Street near the ground. This private club allows away supporters in for a nominal admission fee (20p). The club serves good reasonably priced food and children are also welcomed. They also offer a 'Claret & Blue' bitter
at only £1 per pint.
The Turf Hotel on Yorkshire Street is best avoided and well as pubs in the town centre (where colours are best covered up)
'Another place is the QueenVictoria Public House. The away fans are always directed/encouraged to park in one location, by the side of the Burnley fire station, if you go pass there, away from the football ground and proceed for about 100 yards you will find the entrance to the Queen Victoria (Brewers Fayre establishment). The ground is no more than 10 mins walk away. Away fans visit regularly wearing their colours'.
the cricket club; 'the clubhouse at the cricket club (you can also park there) is open on matchdays and visitors are always made welcome (the wearing colours is not a problem), which is ideal as it is right next door to the ground'.
Inside the ground beer and lager is on sale for 1.90 a pint - but the lager is fizzy according to the football fans guide!
Food
Yorkshire Street has good selection of food outlets
How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
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 designated for away fans at the cricket ground, by the ground. Otherwise, street parking.
By Train
The ground is walkable from the train station, which is about 20 minute walk away. Thanks to Paul Hanson for the following directions; 'As you enter Burnley by train ignore the minor station of Burnley Barracks and alight at Burnley Central. Walk out of the station and cross the road towards a small retail area including Fads and Halfords Cycles. Beyond that you will hit an inner ring road/dual carriageway. Turn left. Don't go straight on as it takes you into the town centre from where the majority of Burnley fans will make there way to the game. You need to cross to the opposite side of the dual carriageway. After about 200yds turn right into School Lane. (If you miss School Lane, you will eventually come to a set of traffic lights, at which you turn right into Church St). After about 150yds you will come to Church St. Briefly turn right and immediately left into Ormerod Rd, look for the Public House "The Talbot" on the corner. Go up Ormerod Rd for some 400yds to the junction at the top. Turn right onto Belverdere Rd (you should see the fire station opposite) walk for about 300yds and you will see Turf Moor appear on your left, the visitors entrances are well sign posted and you will see that the vast majority of away fans coaches park near to the fire station. This is the recommended Police route and avoids the town centre.
Apologies for the shorter than usual bulletin - lack of time I’m afraid!!
