    Don't know if you saw it in last nights programme, but here the latest picture of Turf Moor after redevelopment.. Keep in mind it’s not the finished design.

    Could this be the end of the wooden seats?!

    Looks awful, I still can't see the point in this CF stand idea, just pointless for a town like Burnley IMO. Reducing the capacity is madness.

    They are adding another tier onto the Bob Lord stand so that would be at least an extra 4k seats, are you sure they are reducing?

    Think it will go up to about 26,000 which I think is perfect for us. Anymore would be empty seats every week.

    What the hell is that end? Looks like a friggin' cinema screen.

    Not sure if thats even an upgrade over the wooden shanty town you house away fans in at the moment.

    It is a friggin cinema screen as you put it! The stadium is being rebuilt with a view to making revenue on non-match days. The barriers come together and you can then watch stuff on the screen or the stage in front of it without being outside. They then open again on match days so you can watch the game from that end of the pitch

    I think half of what Flood says is bollocks to be honest and doubt this is going to happen. Well not anytime in the next couple of years anyhow

    I like the bit where the club shop is now,but like you said the away end looks like it's been drawn up by a five year old,sure something will happen with the cricket field stand soon,wether we stay up next season or not,probably will get done if we get relegated.

    The bit where the club shop is brilliant, Would be happy if we could get something like that at the turf. Don't know what the board was thinking though with that away end, Looks like there's hardly any room for seating and the stands extra backroom crap would become pointless in a few years.

    I heard a rumour the other day about them installing new seats, But that's pretty much it. I wouldn't expect any major redevelopments unless we stay up in the prem for longer than 1 season. We're ****ing skint. :(
