[Archived] Burnley At Ewood

[Balwer]

Morning all,

as an Aussie in London I am yet to visit Ewood (did however get to Craven Cottage this season, so I've got a 100% record).

Anyway now I'm back working in my chosen profession will be travelling up to Ewood at least two or three times next year. The one good thing about the Dingles coming up is that it make for an atmosphere that we couldn't hope to get against anyone else.

My question is this, with a capacity of 31,000 plus change (31,420?) and an excellent attendance at the end of the year, and with ticket prices being so fantastic, is there a chance we sellout the game against Burnley?

Another question for the oldtimers, how long since we've actually had a sellout?

The season just finished!

We had two sell outs in 2007/8. Liverpool and Man U games both had 30,000+ crowds.

Only the police stand in the way of 30,000+ for the dingles this season.

Over capacity as well thanks to the cheeky Scousers who went through the turnstiles in twos and snuck in various ways. All sat on the steps, of course.

And you'd think the scoucers would have a little more sense than that after Hillsborough.

Exactly - and more to the point they we STOOD on the steps, not sat

Dont blame the scousers.....Blame everybody else.....they are always the innocent party ha ha!

Lets not go down that route again!

Anyway - Burnley at home should be close to a sell out if we reach the 19-20k season ticket holders, as should United/ Liverpool and maybe City. Just depends when the games fall and whether or not Sky stick us on the Tele.

I hope we sell that many season tickets too, Burnley have sold all their 15,000 season tickets according to some Burnley fan @ work but they would say that lol. I'll be disappointed if we don't sell 20,000 season tickets especially with ours being almost half the price.

I doubt they'll allocate Burnley the whole of the Darwen End, can you imagine 7000 Burnley supporters surely they wouldn't allow that so I'd say they get allocate the top tier with some segregation on a few of the front rows of the top tier. I'd be happy if it's just under 30,000 it should be a sell out taking into account the segregation.

The police were at fault for letting em do it

It riles me the way they are about Hillsborough when at the same time they overcrowd away ends, sneaking through turnstyles creating the same problems that helped cause the disaster at Hillsborough.

"You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me..... funny how, funny like a clown, does he amuse you? Does he make you laugh, is he here to ******* amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How is he funny?" *
