80,518 in '09.

Sheffield four times bigger than Barnsley. Good effort from Barnsley in these tough times for so many people.

[durhamclaret]

About the same ratio as when we played Stockport at the old Wembley.

That was more like 36,000 and 8,000 as I remember it...

44,806, including (what seemed like) a few hundred from Stockport.

spot on

Should be a cracking game and hopefully Duffy's lot can do it.

[NottsClaret]

Not surprised by Wednesday, could probably sell loads more. Good effort from Barnsley too, it’s not a cheap day out.

At the risk of becoming one of those attendance weirdos, it shows how great Burnley’s support is from a small town.

[alwaysaclaret]

Very poor effort by the tykes considering the population is around 250,000

I agree. Barnsley is a big place. Over three times bigger than Burnley.

Be lively around Kings Cross tomorrow then!

[NottsClaret]

There’s a lot of Wednesday support in areas that fall under Barnsley. Always been a huge club round here.

False narrative talking only about the town of Burnley. The catchment are at is quite a bit bigger. There being no discernible gap from colne to Burnley for example. Actual catchment stretches to Skipton in the east.

Actual catchment stretches to Skipton in the east - and Stevenage in the South....

All clubs have catchment areas larger than the actual town/city.

And they aren’t any Barnsley fans from the towns that surround Barnsley?
The population of Burnley, Pendle and Skipton is still lower than Barnsley. A town of 250,000 plus surrounding areas only taking 20,000 to Wembley is poor.

Let's hope Barnsley score 1 more goal than Wednesday then.

In my experience Skipton does have a few clarets but mostly for Leeds due to Yorkshire loyalty.

And Bratford City.

Think I'm right in saying we shifted 38k when we played Sheff Utd in 2009.

[Lancasterclaret]

About the same ratio as when we played Stockport at the old Wembley.

is it?

Wasn't it about 4 to 1 in our favour?

Was in Skipton yesterday and saw 2 or 3 Burnley shirts. I'd say in my experience it's fairly evenly split. We do get a lot of support from that area.
