Travel Zone: Away Grounds

Welcome to Burnley Travel Information. Please select an area of interest from below:

Club Facts [Top]

Burnley formed in 1882, over 120 years ago! They are known today as 'The Clarets'. Their record attendance was recorded way back in 1924 when they played Huddersfield Town in the sixth round of the FA Cup. It was 54,775.

They have been division one champions only twice, and runners up only twice. They also won the FA Cup, however this was in 1913/14 season!

Away fans are housed in the covered David Fishwick Stand (formerly the Cricket Field Stand, named because there is a cricket field behind it) at one end of the ground. It accommodates 4,125 supporters.

Food & Drink [Top]

When visiting Burnley, you may have to catch a quick pint in town as the pubs around the ground mainly admit only home fans. You could try for example going to 'The Park View' which is opposite the club shop. You may get in if your not wearing your colours?

Despite the lack of pubs open to away fans, the local restaurants will always be open to serve up some grub! If you are near the pub above, try visiting the 'Park View Chip Shop'. They serve a whole host of good food - including fish and chips! If you would rather have a sandwich however, the shop across the road is ideal.

Other well known restaurants such as McDonalds and KFC can be found in the town, otherwise go for the in-house specials from within the ground...

Car Directions [Top]

Burnley will be one of the furthest places you travel to see Brighton play this season, so make sure you leave early and plan a number of stops along the way. You could even make a weekend of it, and go up on Friday and come back on Sunday, staying in the town centre just a short walk from the ground.

The easiest way to travel is along the M6 from the South up to junction 29 where you will then need to join the M65. Exit at junction 10 and follow signs to 'Towneley Hall'. This will soon take you past the ground, so watch out!

Train Information [Top]

If you are travelling by Train, please note that there are two train stations - Burnley Central and Burnley Manchester Road. Central is furthest away (about 20 minutes) and is mainly served by local trains. Manchester Road however is around 15 minutes walk and is served by the main services.

Please expect your journey to take around 6 hours going through London. This service is provided by Thameslink, Virgin and Northern Rail.

For more information on train times, visit your local train station...

Bus, Tram & Underground Information [Top]

There is no information for this section - Sorry.

Parking [Top]

As when visiting all clubs grounds, many have restrictions set up to stop fans parking in residential areas - Burnley is no different. Despite this, there are a number of places you can park, and the town is not a million miles away if you feel like a short walk.

'The Park View' pub as mentioned above offers parking at around £2, however it does fill up quick, and it can take a while to exit when trying to leave the ground. If you want a quick get away, try somewhere else!
