Vomitory' stairwell plan approved for Burnley FC's Turf Moor

Burnley FC received approval from Burnley Council for a new "vomitory" stairwell at Turf Moor, aimed at improving fan access and safety. This stairway will provide quicker entry to the 4,500-capacity Barnfield stand and serve as a fire escape. The project also includes new LED signage around the stadium. Approval comes with conditions requiring an investigation into coal seams beneath the site, potentially delaying construction. As local concerns grow about match day road closures, the club previously proposed the ability to close roads to manage fan flow.
