Purchase history plus 2 loyalty pointsOn course to beat the 30,300 against Sunderland - considering the number of barriers to reduce demand thats very good going.
Restricting sales to fans with a purchase history
SKY Live game
8pm Kick off (which makes its very difficult on public transport)
Limiting Burnley to just over 2,000.
Good to see. MFC said they would squeeze segregation in the last supporters minutes. Who knows, we might have less than 2000 for segregation.They must keep nudging the segregation back, given the current state of empty seats in block 54:

Yes they are quite a small club in realityBe nice for Burnley to see a half decent crowd for once
We have much more potential than Burnley will ever have but the reality is there too and deserve to be there sadlyYes they are quite a small club in reality
Burnley is a small town with limited population and the club punches above its weight, fair play to them, I think they have done particularly well in recent years after spending 40 odd years outside of the top division.We have much more potential than Burnley will ever have but the reality is there too and deserve to be there sadly
Our catchment area is 5 times the size of there’s tbf.To be fair to Burnley they have a lot of competition including Blackburn, Preston, Accrington, Rochdale all within 25 miles then just beyond that Wigan, Bolton and Blackpool and the big Manchester clubs - the population of Burnley is around 96,000 about 60% of the size of the Boro. Like the Boro they have a significant number of fans from a quite close catchment area beyond the Town. What used to surprise me was when I used to see reports of Burnley games in the Yorkshire Post when they were a lower league side, but then I was told there are quite a few Burnley fans in places like Skipton. a bit of a legacy from whenb Burnley were the equivalent of a Champions League team of today say aroudn 1961.
I always think the millworkers and owners of Blackburn, Preston and Burnley as the cradle of professional football in the 1880s for the World. Setting up the Football League in 1888.
Middlesbrough first profesional club with Middlesbrough Ironopolis FC formed in 1889 but disbanded in 1894.
Middlesbrough FC didn't turn professional till 1899.
The segregation must be moving towards the screen!They must keep nudging the segregation back, given the current state of empty seats in block 54:

Good point about that general area of east Lancashire, it has a great football tradition with some truly historic clubs.To be fair to Burnley they have a lot of competition including Blackburn, Preston, Accrington, Rochdale all within 25 miles then just beyond that Wigan, Bolton and Blackpool and the big Manchester clubs - the population of Burnley is around 96,000 about 60% of the size of the Boro.

They also fully opened block 55 (below block 54), earlier today.The South Stand was completely sold out yesterday. I would imagine the Club are trying to get another 130 in by adding 2 seats from the top of the stand to the bottom from the segregated area. In effect increasing the capacity of the stadium very close to 32,000. We are now above the Sunderland match crowd as we are now at 30,500 - and just above 1,400 tickets still available.
Next target is the Boxing Day crowd against Wigan which was 31,048.
Be nice for Burnley to see a half decent crowd for once
