Turf Moor has been the home of Burnley Football Club since it opened in 1883. The ground is located on Harry Potts Way, a location named after the club’s longest serving manager. It had a slight claim to fame in that it was one of the final grounds in England to boast the location of the player’s tunnel and dressing room behind one of the goals until they had to be covered in seating for the 2014-2015 season when the club was promoted to the Premier League. When Turf Moor was first built there weren’t any stands and it was just a pitch that people gathered around. The first stand wasn’t built until 1885. The entirety of Turf Moor was rebuilt after the Second World War at which point it had four stands erected. There were further redevelopments to the ground in the 1990s when the Taylor Report ruling meant that football stadiums had to be all-seated affairs.
