Best attendances since 1970 (8 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

Our attendance average at home is the highest since we averaged over 32,000 in 1970

And its 2 seasons in a row we've averaged over 25,000

This season we will probably finish on over 27,000 with just 5 home games left

Fair play to Derby. Great support.

The club has to sort the balcony situation out though, it looks stupid only half full. And a madcap idea not to sell the CBS banner seats

If we consistently do well or by some miracle get promoted then they will have to maximise seating availability.

 

[bigfatronssba]

As I've pointed out before, no club that has been out of the PL/Div1 longer than us has better attendances.

24 years out of the PL and getting 27k crowds. No one else can boast that

I think regardless of what division we're in next year, and barring a complete collapse in form, crowds will grow again next season

The 24 year record is the one to break. I grew up supporting a Premier League/First Division club, it's high time for a bit more of that.

Yea fantastic effort considering the season they are having.
But what's going on at Burnley? They're in with a chance of Automatic promotion, yet still have a poxy 20k capacity stadium, that's going to seriously hold their revenues back if they go up.

Yep us older boys remember playing the likes of Arsenal,Man Ure,and Liverpool regularly and would love the youngsters to have a taste of that

Because being in the PL means they can rely on TV money and ticket sales aren't an issue

Meh, they were promoted last season so had good season ticket sales. Their walk up figures are awful

 

[fatso]

But another (potential) 20k extra seats bringing in £500 per season = £10million per year.
That's a lot of money for a yo-yo club like Burnley.

Then you see Bournemouth with 11k!

Genuinely premier league clubs dont care much for ticket revenue. Its a drop in the ocean of just being in the league to start with

They'd be lucky to pull 30k

It should be the cheapest hospitality not the most expensive because no one really wants to sit up there at those prices .The real answer would be to move Legends or Club Coventry up there but suspect no one would want to move from blocks B or E which are the best seats in the ground.
Shame because that lounge overlooking the pitch is a superb venue.

It was probably the advertising revenue. I guess the Sunderland game will be over 31k next week?

Not if nobody sits in the balcony or they don't take the covers off the seats

You sent me down another rabbit hole… They sold a similar number us. Plus their mayday rates are very good.

Burnley are annoying as two stands are totally unsuitable for the present day and despite huge Premier league revenue they have done nothing to improve the ground.
The other stands were built in mid 90's.

Burnley isn't a big place, only 75k people so they're never really going to garner the huge support that clubs like us, Forest, Leicester, Villa, etc can get due to being much bigger places.

Hopefully get it sorted for the Sunderland game, another 30k+ crowd expected.

 

[Adge]

13 clubs in the 2nd tier with over 20,000 average attendances. Impressive.

That’s right. Their attendances as a percentage of population is one of the highest.

For me it’s the best league in the world. Looks like loads of others agree

Burnley is a small town, population of around 96k. They won’t really get much more than 25k really.

 

[napolimp]

Apparently they hand out loads of free tickets in the community, and do weird deals like free season ticket with a car lease. Only reason why their figures are so high.

 

[pusbccfc]

If we consistently do well or by some miracle get promoted then they will have to maximise seating availability.

They've done a lot of work in the past 12 months by sorting the South Stand but there's no way we can limit ourselves at around 30,500. 2000 empty seats is unheard of in the top flight.



The segregation is still quite wide compared to PL stadiums. I'm pretty sure at the likes of Huddersfield, police stand between the two railings.

 

[pusbccfc]

Didn't realise there were steps in the Huddersfield segregation. Very efficient.

 

[theferret]

Yesterday there were a few hundred empty in the away end, blocks 4 and 5 closed, seats behind dugouts closed, balcony only 60% full. All those seats filled it is probably 32K without having to adjust the segregation.

 

[rob9872]

Burnley and Derby the outliers, but most of the attendances aren't a million miles away from league positions.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

With regards the Balcony Bar and hospitality areas, is there any added in to buying in these areas for home fixtures, like additional points?

I appreciate paying to sit in an area of the ground where you are more comfortable and able to have complimentary drinks is great, but doesn’t seem to entice enough people.

I’ve seen on X a lot of people moaning that the corporate areas don’t seem full enough, trying to understand why that might be, obviously there is a financial outlay for those areas as well which will be partly the reason.

For my money, the best seats in the ground to actually watch the match.

 

[Ashdown]

And to think some clowns were taking serious SISU’s proposals to build us a 12,000/15,000/20,000 stadium…..One they were just lying wankers and two we would now be locking out 7000–10,000 fans out every week. Lets be honest, I doubt Frank Lampard would have come near us either.
Thank fuck we got shot of those charlatans.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

The CBS banners behind the dugout should of been removed on Saturday rather than try to push people upstairs. It clearly didn't work
