Anyone been to Burnley before? What's the away end like? Where are the best places to drink? Cheers.

Similar to most other David fishwick stand/cricketfield. Away fans tend to stick to cricket club/witherspoons I believe. The pubs along Harry Potts way seem to be home fans only.

Saw this on a website : Pete Mitton recommends the Cricket Club; 'the clubhouse at the Cricket Club (you can also park there) is open on matchdays and visitors are always made welcome (wearing colours), which is ideal as it is right next door to Turf Moor.' Paul Hanson adds 'Another place I could recommend is the Queen Victoria Public House. The away fans are always directed/encouraged to park in one location, by the side of the Burnley fire station; Pass there, away from the football ground and proceed for about 100 yards where you will find the entrance to the Queen Victoria (Brewers Fayre establishment). The ground is no more than 10 minutes walk away. Away fans visit regularly wearing their colours'. Matthew Harrison informs me; '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. Visit the Bridge Bier Huise website for more information. Whilst Mike Dean a visiting Norwich City supporter adds; 'We enjoyed 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'. Ian Pilkington advises 'The Turf Hotel on Yorkshire Street and pubs in the town centre are best avoided. Colours are best covered up in and around the centre of town'. Alcohol is available inside the ground, in the form of Lager (£3.50), Bitter (£3.20) and Cider (£3.50).

I've been there. Not to be recommended. Much nicer places to visit. The footie ground ain't too bad, but the people are all from the North. Odd really.

Imagine Satan necking nine pints of Guinness and following up with a prawn phal with egg and cabbage. Then imagine the dump the following morning. Burnley is worse.

Ground is about 15 min walk from station. Fans are fine, I think Burnley is pretty much on par with Sunderland, and makes south Norwood look posh. Go and watch the game and get the f out of there.

Remember seeing Routledge get sent off, chadwick score from the resulting free kick and us being 2-0 down. Absolute hole of a place though. There will be far less plastics in the away end, which is reason enough to make the trip!

It's honestly the biggest sh*thole I've ever been to, beyond any doubt. Makes Croydon look like the Maldives. If you do decide to go, however, definitely the place to drink is the cricket club next to the ground. Cheap beer and sky sports in a nice setting (for Burnley). Jimmy Anderson used to play there if you're into your cricket.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. |
