BCFC J Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Any word on ticket sales for this? Friday night, fourth in the league and unbeaten in 11(?), 18,000+ home fans I should think, but Burton won't be bringing more than 300. Any update @Mkelly @AdamB? Cheers.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Not expecting more than 18k as this is probably one of the least attractive fixtures, little away support and on a Friday night Probably will be our worst home league gate of the season unless performances drop off. Quite a few people cant make Fridays, though equally, I suppose some may come who play football on Saturdays. Is this one of the bring a friend games - that may help. Hoping for a good win and 2nd place, but this game has a boring 0 - 0 draw written all over it and a Burton formatio of 550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Feels like the last home game was ages ago. I expect a decent turnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Would not be surprised to see just over 16k , hope I'm wrong but a Friday Vs less than exciting opposition I think anything over 17k would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Anything under 18k would be a bit of a disappointment. Wouldn't be surprised if it's around 17 though - mainly down to the amount that Burton bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 11, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 With Leeds next weekend and then Palace behind that, this has to be the least appealing of the three home fixtures coming up But MAYBE being on the Friday night will attract those that work / play football on weekends? Somewhere between 16500 and 18000 I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I reckon it'll be 17000. Burton won't bring many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 The website says: Quote A crowd of over 16,500 is already guaranteed, with just over 110 away supporters making the trip to BS3. I guess something around 17-17.5k seems likely with a couple of days left for sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Why do people get so compelled by what an attendance might be..? I can understand afteterwards, discussing if an attendance was good, bad or indifferent, but I really don't get the "what will the attendance be?" Posts. Unless a game is heading for a sell out and the excitement is bringing around that I suppose. People are odd..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for this game its been highlighted that as it won't be a big attendance, it would be good to get some offers to entice new fans. Like quid a kid or bring a mate for £10??

slartibartfast Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 See, I never get this "attractive" bollox. We come to see our team play, surely! I know if we're not playing well or near the foot of the table ,that's a bit different. BUT we can go second.....who cares who we play ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have read other fans forums; Cardiff, Plymouth, PNE and Barnsley off the top of my head had threads concerning their attendances. I guess some think it can make their club feel bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 A crowd of over 16,500 is already guaranteed, with just over 110 away supporters making the trip to BS3. 110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think attendance is a good measure of success for any club, that's why I find it interesting. Also predicted atendance means I am able to make a judgement on how much traffic I will encounter on the way to the game and how easy it will be to park. 20k plus and I leave home a bit earlier 16k or under, I can leave a bit later. We are getting good crowds so far this season and that leads to additional revenue which can in turn drive future success, in turn driving higher attendances and so on.

Don't think their average attendances are very good at all though. If its potd, a few more may decide to make the trip last minute, but many can't be bothered with the M5 and M6 on a Friday evening.
