Burnley - West Ham

Burnley moved to Turf Moor in 1883, nine months after the club had formed. 

One year later, a first grand stand was constructed, and soon after a terrace that could hold about 5,000 people. The rest of the stadium consisted of a natural mound on which spectators could stand.

Two covered stands were built in 1908, and at that time the stadium could hold more than 50,000 spectators.

Turf Moor recorded its highest attendance in 1924, when 54,755 people watched an FA Cup match between Burnley and Huddersfield Town.

The stadium underwent a next major redevelopment in 1954 with the construction of the vast Longside terrace.

Fifteen year later, in 1969, the Cricket Field Stand was built. It was one of the first examples of a modern stand and also contained the dressing rooms.

The construction of the Bee Hole End terrace, and, in 1974, the Bob Lord Stand, completed the ground.In 2007, Burnley planned to replace the old and dilapidated Cricket Field Stand, but the financial crisis prevented the execution of these plans.
