Turf Moor has seen some major redevelopment work over the past couple of years, with the introduction of two new impressive stands which replaced two stands consisting of terracing. The two-tiered James Hargreaves stand is adjacent to the pitch, and houses approximately 10,000 home fans along with a row of executive boxes. It even houses the high-tech Turf Moor Leisure Centre facility, which offers fans the chance to work out with state-of-the-art gym equipment.
The second of the new stands to be built is the Jimmy McIlroy End, the home end, where the majority of noise comes from. This is also two-tiered and houses a row of executive boxes. Both new stands offer conference and banquet facilities.

There is a picturesque local cricket ground behind this stand, where England international bowler James Anderson was playing regularly only a year ago. It accomodates over 4,000 fans.

Want a drink? The cricket club, situated only yards from the ground, offers a friendly and reasonable place to enjoy a pre-match pint.

Away fans are advised to stay clear of the Turf Hotel on Yorkshire Street and are told to exorcise caution in the Town Centre, making sure to cover up team colours.
