There’s a lot of fresh paint on the approach to Turf Moor. The vast brickwork wall leading up to the stadium is immaculate matt black and set into it is a new Sir Harry Potts Way road sign, adorned with Burnley’s crest.
Sir Harry, who took the club to the First Division title 62 years ago this spring, would certainly have been pleased with that.
He would also have known a painting over of cracks when he saw it. Turf Moor glitters like never before under new American ownership, with glittering LED advertising screens, corporate boxes in place of a long, antiquated dining room and aquamarine turnstile gates.
