Hundreds of Burnley FC supporters have had to evacuate from a stand mid-match after a piece of metal was spotted hanging from the roof.
The Clarets were taking on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Turf Moor tonight (Tuesday).
The club posted: "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 cooperation and patience while we do this.”
Fans who had to move were taken to the club's Fan Zone to watch the remainder of the game.
The game ended a 1-1 draw, after Jacob Bruun Larsen's opener was cancelled out by a goal from Rayan Ait-Nouri in first-half injury time.
The result leaves Vincent Kompany's side in 19th spot in the Premier League table, four points clear of Sheffield United - who have two games in hand on the Clarets - and six points adrift from safety with just seven games left in the season.
