Tickets sold out in under 15 minutes. The full allocation of 1032 dropped to 900 available for 'Fans' with the rest going to players for their families and 'other' corporate connections. Managed to get 2 but it was a close call.

I think the away allocation is based on the space available and advice from local police etc. I think Fulham has the lowest capacity ground in the Championship so full away allocation is 1032. Once you deduct tickets made available to the squad for their families it only left 900 for general sale.Quote:

Another thing in our favour is we have no history of silly travelling hooligans. On the contrary most away teams love us coming because the pie sales go through the roof! XD

I don’t think the Squad or Burnley Youth are active these days and as BT rightly says our passionate away support is a big plus.Quote:
