Gates tonight

[ClaretMoffitt]

Hear Sunderland took 1500 or so, which all things considered is very good from them.

What did we take about?

As a prem club in form, in a 20,000 seater? ARF ARF ARF ..

[Garnerssoap]

try harder

[Den_Perry]

You could only dream of the days you could get such attendances at home, even for a league game...

I'd be semi interested in your opinion if you bothered to go and watch your own team.....perhaps you popped down to the Turf to watch some decent football this evening? Did you enjoy?

I've a feeling we've got a convert here folks!

I know Ipswich are bad but there's no way they would recall him. Must be 60 at least?

Now there was a player. Used to love him back in Ipswich's heyday. A real looker as well

Thought it was an excellent gate all things considered and atmosphere was very good. I was expecting around the 8k mark to be honest.

[Goodclaret]

It was a decent gate tbh. So pleased I opted for the Cricket Field stand as the atmosphere was excellent. Great game for a cheeky tenner

The atmosphere would have been nothing if we didn't have the Cricketfield stand, it's great that we've opened it for our fans.

Sucker! You're my little toy and I'm playing with you.

[redwasp]

That's a decent attendance but the fanzone wasn't open and they sold out of programs, surely somebody didn't underestimate how many would turn up 'cause that's never happened before has it.

[Sheedyclaret]

Think programmes were a quid maybe that's why they sold out

[wilks_bfc]

Probably all bought by the kids that wouldn't sit down for more than 5 minutes in the JML

Grumpy man alert

Oh right....like that's never been posted on here before when this situation has occurred.

Anyway, it was a decent gate last night, and I was surprised as I expected about 8-9,000.

[Darnhill Claret]

By 6-00pm Burnley FC were anticipating a crowd of around 10,000 so good news all round.
