Lower Buck in Waddington is also good hearty pub food in a more cosy atmospheric surround. Especially on a cold day with the fire on.

Re: Ticket sales for Burnley Vs Hudds

We don't need additional capacity.
We haven't sold out at home yet this season despite a terrific start. Away tickets also rarely sell out too far in advance.
And if we go down again we'll average circa 15k.
The Turf is perfectly suitable for our needs.
