607 Burnley fans - i don't think so

[chrisg]

607 Burnley fans! having sat 30 metres away from them, there was between 250 and 350 maximum. No way was there that many unless each person scanned their ticket twice. Really can't see how that figure could be reached?

Think that's how many tickets they sold rather than how many turned up (as it is with us). Must have been a lot who looked at the forecast and thought twice about it

 

[severnside gull]

maybe they turned clockwise on the M25 and hit the bad weather rhen gave up
Crazy that east of the M1 it was torrential rain but to the west was little more than grey skies.

Certainly didnt seem to be more than 400-ish Burnley fans which is an incredible proportion of no-shows.

Really, does it matter?

I couldn't go yesterday but have just come back from my newsagent and two Albionites in there saying they didn't think there were 26,000 in the ground yesterday. How do they get these figures?

Simples - by the amount of tickets sold (including STH who may well have been on holiday)

Around 23000 in the ground yesterday.

Careful that stat bloke will be on here spouting the club line.

Are you factoring in the corporate burnley fans? Not saying they would make it up to 607, but 250-350 not showing up sounds a bit high, if there were a hundred or so in the corporate area, maybe it would make the non-attendees a bit more realistic.

Must have a lot of spare money sloshing about in Burnley if they can afford to do that

 

[Soulman]

They were so quiet, i think there was about 29 Burnley fans attended.

Don't agree at all,don't think you're very good at judging crowds! We all said looked 5-600 from wsl-quite a solid block of them stretched over most of the away end!

It's the 'Silicon Valley' of England.

Around 23000 in the ground yesterday.

There was more than that. There was 7k ish of gaps not nearer 10k.

 

[Husty]

There was more than that. There was 7k ish of gaps not nearer 10k.

7k of gaps = 23K

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

There was more than that. There was 7k ish of gaps not nearer 10k.

The capacity is not 33000.

 

[kevo]

Didn't look anything like 600, probably about half that amount.

Attendance is calculated by people who enter, not how many tickets are sold. The figures are accurate, you just need to estimate better.
