SUPPORTER SAFETY

All supporters at Turf Moor are encouraged to read the below carefully:

The safety of all match participants is of paramount importance and we recognise that reckless actions, witnessed at recent fixtures are carried out by a small minority of fans and the majority of supporters attend and watch matches in a safe and respectful way.

As a football club we expect supporters to adhere to the ground regulations in place at Turf Moor, enjoy the game from their seat and DO NOT enter the playing area at any time. It is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and doing so, may result in a criminal record and stadium bans. It also creates a significant safety issue not only for themselves, but for fellow supporters, Club players, staff and match officials.

It is also against ground regulations to throw any items/missiles on the pitch – any supporter that throws anything, putting the safety of players and individuals at risk, will receive a severe banning order from the Club. This behaviour will not be tolerated.

The Club wants all supporters to enjoy the game safely and thank fans for their continued support.

Football unites to improve participant and fan behaviour for the 2023/24 season. Read the ‘Love Football. Protect the Game’ measures here.

One Club for All

As a Club we do not tolerate hate speech or discrimination in any form; it is a criminal offence and will be dealt with severely.

We urge supporters who experience or witness any discriminatory language or behaviour to report it urgently.

Please text CLARETS RESPECT and your message to 66777, all texts will remain anonymous, you can also approach your nearest steward or make a report via the Kick it Out dedicated app.

We thank you for your support.

FLAGS & BANNERS

The Club recently announced new initiatives to help improve matchday experience and entertainment value, including the introduction of new measures allowing flags and banners where appropriate, inside the stadium.

The Club Shop has a 50% discount on Burnley FC approved designs, with the flags priced at £7.50.

Please note, that due to safety reasons the only flags that can be brought into the stadium are those that were given away by the Club at the West Ham fixture or those purchased from the official Club Shop.

SUPPORT THE CLARETS TOY DRIVE

To spread a little festive cheer this Christmas, Burnley FC have teamed up with partner Emma – The Sleep Company, official charity Burnley FC in the Community and Burnley Together, to encourage all supporters attending our fixture against Everton on Saturday 16th December to bring a toy to Emma’s Winter Slumberland Toy Drive.

Together, we are asking supporters to donate new and unwrapped toys which will be shared with children from the local community and put smiles on faces this Christmas.

Toys can be donated at the drop-off point which will be located in the northeast corner of the stadium, opposite the Rapidz Fan Zone. The drop-off point will be open from 3pm until kick-off. Please note, the drop-off point will close at kick-off and donations cannot be accepted after the match.

Then, the spirit of giving will continue as it takes centre stage at kick-off when the Burnley FC players will walk out hand in hand with Club mascots, who will be showcasing an assortment of gifts donated by the wider Burnley community.

If you can’t make it to this weekend’s game to donate, you can bring your toy to the donation point at Burnley Together, Charter Walk Shopping Centre, Burnley, BB11 1QJ.

RAPIDZ FAN ZONE

This weekend fans can enjoy 10% off drinks in the Rapidz Fan Zone using the Rapidz App!

EARLIER MATCH ARRIVAL

INFORMATION REGARDING GOLDCARDS

Supporters may be aware, we have made several changes across Turf Moor during the summer. One of the changes has been to partner with the Compass Group for our catering provision across both hospitality and our concourses. We believe that this move will greatly enhance the matchday experience for all.

One consequence of this move is having to change our till systems, which means you will no longer be able to spend your Goldcard directly at the tills. Instead, you now have the below options:

Hospitality

If you wish to use your Goldcard to pay for your bar bill, we can set up a tab and use the Goldcard to cover the tab at the end of the fixture.

Concourses

You will be able to purchase vouchers from the ticket office to be redeemed at the concourses.

Concourse menu & prices

You can collect the vouchers from the Ticket Office beforehand and you will be able to redeem these vouchers directly at the concourse kiosks. Please note, the vouchers cannot be used at the brand-new self-order units or in the North stand and James McIlroy Lower concourses and Rapidz Fan Zone.
