I've nowt but admiration for Andy Holt - things are going in the right direction and that's not always a given in football.

Lord D. The entire East Lancs area is economically depressed, but comparing Burnley to Stanley is rather unfair.
If Stanley had Chelsea, Man U & Arsenal visiting the Wham, the ground would be full.
Of course, the improvements made by Andy Holt for home fans have been much needed & appreciated, particularly the Clayton end fanzone.
However, facilities for away fans are well below football league standards.
I know we survive on a shoestring budget, but it annoys me when we prioritise flashy electronic scoreboards before basic facilities every fan deserves. And that must include away fans.
