There is a selection of news from Turf Moor for all you clarets out there today! The team are currently preparing for the visit of table topping Norwich tomorrow, while this weekend marks a big moment for the proposed Supporter's Trust. Team News:

- Burnley are lucky that they have a more or less full strength squad for the game tomorrow. Dean West is the biggest doubt with a groin strain picked up in training. But Lee Roche, fresh from 90 minutes in the reserves can cover. It is also thought that Dele Adebola will be fit to take his place on the bench after a stomach strain. Norwich are pretty strong squadwise too, with Iwan Roberts possibly making his 300th appearance for the club tomorrow.

- Turf Moor in Town is to close on April 3rd after 5 years of trading. The club are restructuring their finances and as a result the shop is deemed surplus to requirments. Of course the club superstore will remain open, but Turf Moor in Town, which was meant to sell club financial packages and tickets never really took off.

- Local Cup Finals are returning to Turf Moor this year. The Warburton Youth Final and the Burnlet and District Sunday League Final will both take place at Turf Moor giving player and fans a unique experience. League official John Pilling said "It is fantastic for the teams who will be involved to be able to run out at Turf Moor for the games...It's also a tremendous boost for local football."

- Also the Trust meeting will take place at Turf Moor this Sunday at 12.30pm. More details of this will be on the site soon.
