EPL Side Burnley Finalizes Plans To Improve Accommodations For Disabled Supporters

Premier League side Burnley finalized plans to develop Turf Moor and provide better facilities for disabled supporters under the Accessible Stadium Guide. The work takes the spending on infrastructure at the club to around £20M ($26.7M) in the past two years, including new office space, a bigger Clarets Store and ticket office at the stadium and the major uplift to the Barnfield Training Centre. However, the club concluded there will be no other ground developments to increase the overall capacity of Turf Moor in the short term, unless an increase in demand for seats forces a re-think. Work to bring the club in line with ASG regulations follows a commitment to the Equality & Human Rights Commission, which outlines minimum requirements at all Premier League grounds. The club has been given until Aug. '18 to comply with improved disabled access provisions that include dedicated covered viewing platforms and new toilet facilities. Turf Moor will undergo major changes from January to provide a number of elevated platforms for wheelchair access. These involve multi-million pound building projects in two corners of the stadium (Burnley).
