TURF MOOR TRAVEL
Posted on: Fri 29 Aug 2008
WE ASKED BURNLEY...
What's your ground called?
Turf Moor.
What's the capacity?
22,546.
How do I get there from Plymouth?
By Car: 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.
Where can I park?
There is a car park available at the cricket ground, by Turf Moor, which costs £4. Otherwise, street parking.
Where do the away fans sit?
In the David Fishwick Stand at one end of the ground.
Have you got a celebrity fan?
Perhaps the most famous Claret who has been in the public eye over recent years is Alastair Campbell, the former press secretary of the Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
Another famous Burnley supporter of a similar ilk, but from the other end of the political spectrum, Sir Bernard Ingham, the former press secretary to ex Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, is also a fan.
Coronation Street's Sam Aston, 'Chesney Brown' is also a regular face at Turf Moor, once the cameras stop rolling, although thankfully he leaves Schmeichel at home!
What is the local brew and food delicacy?
Moorhouse's Pendle Witches Brew and Lancashire hotpot.
If I have time, what is there to do/see in the area?
Towneley Hall in Burnley has an extensive range of events, activities and exhibitions. Alternatively, if you fancy some fresh air, there is always a climb up Pendle Hill!
Finally, describe your club in five words:
Passionate, proud, ambitious, loyal supporters.
