I COULDN'T believed my eyes when I picked up the paper on Tuesday.

A 20m redevelopment of Turf Moor? Fantastic, just unbelievable. It's almost like a re-birth of the club and it gives us a top-class stadium.

Let's hope that it is matched with what's happening on the pitch. The ambition must now be to push for the Premiership in the next three to five years.

The average Burnley supporter will be delighted with the stadium improvements, but deep down what is most important to him or her is the 11 players out on the pitch.

It's the same situation at Liverpool. They've announced plans for a massive new stadium, but for Liverpool fans, it's all about winning the Premiership than moving from Anfield because they haven't won it for such a long time.

There's a lot of ambition at Burnley - from the manager to the chairman and to the supporters. They all have their targets and one is to reach the top flight.

With Brendan Flood's investment, we have a better chance than we've had for a very long time.

Flood is putting up a tremendous amount of money. He seems to have unlimited funds and that's great for Steve Cotterill, knowing that if somebody becomes available that he wants to sign, he's got a good chance of getting him - or at least a better chance than he had before.

The investment from Flood has been a massive boost right throughout the club and it's terrific that he is spending his money to transform the stadium, especially on the tired Cricket Field stand.

As soon as the modern James Hargreaves and Jimmy McIlroy stands were built, it became obvious that the Cricket Field stand needed work.

The new plans for that end look fantastic. It will be strange to have a hotel built in, but that's the way of the world with modern stadiums nowadays.

But I'm happy that we're staying at Turf Moor, rather than moving out to a new stadium. A 22,000 capacity is adequate enough for a club like us - even if we got promoted to the Premiership.
