The second oldest football ground in the Football League opened it’s turnstiles in 1883 and has been the home of this proud Lancashire club ever since. Along with the renovations to the playing surface, Burnley FC has employed the in-house artificial turf expertise of White Horse Contractors to design and install artificial turf run-offs to all sides of the pitch. The Desso Match PS 50 3rd Generation turf is being installed to the perimeter of the pitch to offer a consistent surface for the referee’s assistants and the warm up areas for substitutes.
