Clarets fans will get their annual chance to see their heroes in serious training action when the club throws open its doors on Saturday for its Open Day.

The annual event at Turf Moor always attracts a good crowd for one of the key dates of the year and six hours of fun will start at 10am.

There is lots of fun in store for both young and old alike at

this family event, situated in and around Turf Moor and with the day being the launch of the new look away shirt, it promises to be a busy day at the club.

The club's media and marketing co-ordinator Nick Palich said: "The Open Day is always a great event for fans to attend and this year we are hoping to make it one of the best yet.

"We have all sorts of things for people to see and do and it is all free, so you can just come down and see what's on show.

"We will also be launching next season's new away kit on the day, so supporters will be able to purchase their kit at the Clarets Superstore."

But arguably the biggest attraction is the chance to watch the first team squad take part in a training session on the Turf Moor pitch before they make their way to the Isle of Man for the pre-season tournament that takes place there.

The players will be topping up their fitness with Stan Ternent, assistant manager Sam Ellis and first team coach Mick Docherty keeping a close eye on proceedings.

Visitors will also be given the chance to take a look behind

the scenes at Turf Moor, as Burnley legends such as Andy Lochhead and Tommy Cummings will be giving ground tours throughout the day.

The club's centre of excellence will give a demonstration of their skills and training in an exhibition, whilst the thriving Burnley Girls team will show off some of their routines, which helped them to success last season.

Gates will be open at 9am with the first stadium tour starting 90 minutes later.

Fans will get the chance to beat Bertie and Bumble Bee from the penalty spot and there will be a soccer school for youngsters aged four to nine.
