A number of Burnley fans were moved to the fan zone to watch the remainder of the game
Hundreds of Burnley fans were evacuated from their seats mid-match due to a safety hazard on the roof of the club’s Turf Moor stadium. In the middle of the first half Clarets fans were escorted out of the Jimmy McIlory stand after stewards were alerted to a piece of metal which was hanging from the roof. Both stewards and police rushed to the scene so that they could escort fans to a new section of the ground where they would watch the remainder of the match against Wolves.
Burnley football club tweeted at the time: “Burnley fans are in the process of being moved from a section of the Jimmy McIlroy stand due to current safety concerns with the roof.
“We thank supporters for their co-operation and patience while we do this.”
