Burnley has taken steps to make its home ground more inclusive to disabled supporters by installing a Changing Place facility, reports www.fcbusiness.co.uk

These changes are part of an ongoing stadium expansion that will see more accessibility around the Jimmy McIlroy stand. This includes the Changing Place along with raised platform areas around the corners of the stand that will give wheelchair-users good coverage on rainy days and excellent visibility for all matches.

Doug Metcalfe, Stadium and Operations Manager at Burnley FC, said: "At Burnley, our motto is very much 'do the right thing'. We're not dragging our heels when it comes to making our stadium more accessible – we're doing it because we genuinely want disabled supporters to have everything they could possibly need when they come to Turf Moor.

"Installing a Changing Place is just one step in making our stadium better-equipped for both home and away supporters."

Burnley is going above and beyond to give supporters the best experience possible at its stadium. The new accessible stand features three levels of wheelchair seating with additional fixed seating for friends and family to sit together.

The club has also designed and installed a concourse exclusively for disabled supporters that will have television screens showing the game and a wheelchair-level food and drink kiosk.
