Burnley are the EFL Champions and start the new season back in football’s Premier League.
The collaboration will see the development of the middle tier of Turf Moor’s Jimmy McIlroy stand. It will feature a ‘Super Box’, which is an open-plan premium dining space with a pitch-facing sports bar, street food stations as well as table football and a Gaming Lounge.
In addition to the Jimmy McIlroy Stand renovation, technology will be introduced throughout the concourses to improve the customer experience. Self-order units will replace traditional bar service with supporters able to order from the terminals and collect from a dedicated collection point.
The technology will allow fans to order and pay for their half-time refreshments upon entry, meaning a quicker service.
Jon Davies, managing director of Levy UK + Ireland said: “We love the community spirit which surrounds Burnley Football Club, and we identify with it. Levy is a Real Living Wage employer, and we work hard to support the communities of all the clubs we partner with. We develop our workforce, forge relationships with regional suppliers, and support local charities.
“Burnley invested wisely on the pitch over the last 12 months, and we’re excited to partner with them to translate this onto the concourse and enhance the supporter matchday experience.”
The Levy culinary team is working with existing local suppliers, businesses, and their produce to develop menu items. They include local family-run butchers, Penny’s Meats, which has been supplying Burnley FC for ten years, and Ribble Farm Fare, another family-run business, just 20 miles away, which supplies the football club with fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy.
