900 for a game on tv on a friday night at the other end of the country just after Christmas is a really really good effort

Re: Away support at Spurs ...
How about 1500?
Re: Away support at Spurs ...
Decent whatever the figure
Re: Away support at Spurs ...
Some of our group went and said it was great, good atmosphere and cracking ground...

Its a shame really that the novelty has worn off a bit for the fans against the bigger clubs. A few years back wed have had 5000 there as a bare minimum in the cup, if they'd allowed it. I think wed have taken more if it was Charlton away rather than Tottenham, people are bored of us getting beaten.

Never 5000 unless we were a lower league club who hadn't played them for a while... Like Chelsea in the league cup.

Pleasantly surprised by the ground. Great atmosphere and good seats.
Re: Away support at Spurs ...
Just over a thousand looked about right to me. Fair play to anyone who made the effort.

Really amazing ground, loved the safe standing.. can't wait for this to be the norm.

I guess we had around 1000 there and most around me had Burnley accents, so far play for the long travel of a Fri night.
Atmosphere wasn't the best and was often heckled by the spurs fans above us. "We forgot that you were here" lol..
Just wished it was a 3pm sat ko as the day would have been a good one on the beers then

Those in the know, which are those who were at that awful Colchester game in I think 1986, all got free tickets and transport. We had to keep it quiet though.
Based on that above there were 30,000 Clarets there.

Re: Away support at Spurs ...
I was there last night and I’d guess between 9-1100. Atmosphere was one of the worst away in 45 yrs following the club . Sure it’s a terrible combo of Fri night /tv/long journey /low round cup/guaranteed beating, tourists , London clarets etc etc BUT it was shocking . Also the 60k + Spurs fans were all but silent until they briefly stirred after their goal .
It appears Spurs also sold plenty of tickets around our allocated area as the sheer volume of half /half scarves told it’s own story . Credit to the fans that travelled , though it had more a feel of a local community Sunday ramble than an fa cup tie v a European “ super power “ club .
Good safe standing set up though but the worst pie I’ve eaten in my life “ spurs signature beef and onion”

Anyone who says the atmosphere in the away end was good either wasn't there, or a complete liar.
I've never seen a set of Burnley fans so quiet.
Didn't help that you're surrounded by spurs fans there also I'm sure maybe 25% of fans in our end have never seen a Burnley game in their lives, I presume spurs sold all the unsold tickets to anyone. Lots of over seas fans in there

Was never going to be good atmosphere last night. I think generally our away support is getting quieter though. Much more middle class, less of a lads day out vibe. Sign of the times I suppose.

no crispsAndy the Claret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 5:30 pmSame here - great ground. Only gripe is the fact that Spurs had sold out of all food bar crisps before KO. Poor when you consider that we had a round trip of 500 miles.

Re: Away support at Spurs ...
Always surprised how people automatically assume the away support all travelled from Burnley. There are loads of Clarets in the London area.
