Less than 1,300 remaining for Watford game and only 900 left for Man Utd game (still four weeks to go for that one). Utd will obviously sellout but I'll be impressed if Watford does too.

With working overtime on a saturday (optional), the change to a Sunday is always helpful to me it can also, potentially, make more away games reachable.
Is there any one who is in the opposite boat, who finds Sunday games spoiling their ability to get to games.

I successfully predicted the draw with Southampton yesterday. I'm sticking a pony on a clarets victory against Watford. All winnings going towards the restoration of my vintage Capri.

How many have been sold for Thursday?

I'd guess about 14000. Almost every block in every stand has availability, Jimmy mac looks half full.
Hope there's a surge of walk ons, for £15 we should be shifting more.

Yes, still plenty available for Thursday but Watford is selling well and looks to be heading for a possible sell out.

The Family stand will always be the last to go, it's nothing going for it, when prices are the same throughout the ground.
V the Red Lion I knew it was going to be half full due to TV, but I was shocked just how empty it looked.
4 extras coming on this game that usually wouldn't purely down to prices, ones a "United fan" who's taking his son as he keeps asking to go on a Burnley game as his mates all support Burnley.
Exactly the sort of thing that's great to hear when the prices are low.
Hopefully this game will help save at least 1 young boy from a life of following that lot.

Yes, travelling by train from Sussex is problematical (to say the least). I wont be there on Sunday, but would certainly have been there on the Saturday.
Therefore my seat is free :-{

Ok for a couple of weeks, but both my lads play football on Sunday so I'm hoping there isn't too many clashes.
Most parents hate the 9 am kick offs but I'm all for them if we are playing at 1330!

The u9 team I coach play Sunday’s
If we are at home (the kids not BFC) then it shouldn’t be an issue as home team set the times and we play at 10am but if we are away then it may cause problems
May not be an issue for the “Burnley” teams as they are all potentially Clarets and in same situation but memay struggle with the teams west of Accrington

Ahaa! A truly magnificent vehicle, I learned to drive in a Capri and if you can drive one of those you can drive any car. Lovely looking car with a bonnet that seems to go on forever but with the turning circle of an oil tanker. My dad had two, both 2 litre monsters. They are one of the true icons of the 70s.

I wonder how much difference it would make if we had charged just £10 for the Euro match with £5 Under 16s
Enough to get an extra 2,000??

Still time to get a near sell out to be honest in the home ends.
Which would be excellent

About Thursdays game from the club:
"If you have purchased your tickets for the Burnley vs Istanbul Basaksehir fixture on Thursday night, and chosen to 'collect', please note that your tickets are available to collect from the Turf Moor Ticket Office now.
There is an unusually high amount of tickets for collection for this fixture and therefore we implore any supporters, who are able to do so, to collect your tickets before matchday, or failing that as early as possible on matchday to avoid congestion at the Ticket Collection point.
Tickets already purchased can be collected from the Turf Moor Ticket Office on Harry Potts Way from 9:15am until 5pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
From 5pm on Thursday tickets can be collected from the Turf Moor Ticket Collection Point in the ETC, in the North East Car Park.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are season ticket holder and you have purchased your seat it will be uploaded to your seasoncard and you will not need to collect a match ticket."

16k will be a fantastic turn out IMO, as Istanbul will bring a handful at best.

With large Greek & Turkish communities in the UK you'd expect a few on Thursday and indeed plenty to turn up if we get through as well.

Olympiakos will most definitely be an away sell out if we get through. Without anyone travelling from Athens/Piraeus there are enough of their fans in London and the U.K. as a whole to ensure that I’m sure. Should be lively and would expect some pyrotechnics even. Need to win v the Turkish MK Dons+ first though.
