900 tickets left for West Brom game

Post by TonbridgeClaret » Tue Aug 15, 2017 10:01 pm

I'm a bit disappointed by that to be honest. New signings, first home game and great result at Chelsea should have produced a sellout by now.

How many pairs of tickets left? Too many singles get left unfortunately.

Similar to the Swansea game last season. I wasn't expecting it to sell out which is a shame. They haven't sold out either so could be looking at a sub 20k gate.

Unlikely to be sub 20,000, would expect at least 20,500 if West Brom sell 2,000.

Home support is always lower at the start of the season at Burnley, after the first few home games we will have a steady 18,000-19,000 Burnley fans for more or less every game after September.

So West Brom haven't sold out either? Really surprised at that.

1, Holidays
2, It's still only Burnley FC we're talking about here
3, It's not Saturday yet
4, The new signings of Taylor, Cork and Walters aren't going to get them queueing around the block for tickets

WBA paid for the fans transport last season to the Turf, they did not even sell out at Stoke.

For WBA a trip to Burnley is hardly the highlight of their season, especially after several seasons in the PL, so them not selling out isn't a surprise and for home fans it's not the most glamorous of fixtures either. Walk ons tend to save their money for the bigger fish. I'd hope to get just over 20,000 though.

Still plenty of pairs left in JHU, JHL & JML. Also a few left in BL.

If you'd rather go to a cricket game then getting on the turf for the first home game of the season then you really need your head checking, then you need it kicking in.

Harsh but true. Crickets a game for dossing in the garden. Nothing more.

Where in that statement did I say I was watching? I'm a season ticket holder, probably for many years longer than You. I play for a team which is a season long commitment and my point was when seasons clash lads can't always make a game or two at the start or end of the season.. and by the way dont ever threaten to kick my head in you pr***

Imagine actually wanting to play cricket?

I think I find it more entertaining trying to kick my own head in.

Keep your kilt on pal
There was over 900 when OP posted Tuesday
2 days later 683 so about 250 shifted
Friday may match that as pay day and walk ons Saturday could too, virtually gone.
Spaces in CFS we're on the online so I reckon that's full.
All good!

Or maybe he's an established Lancashire League cricketer who is doing some sterling work for his club.

When I bought these tickets a few weeks ago, there were hardly any to choose from!!!! They don't half pi$$ about with online tickets.
