Burnley away following on Saturday 12:44 - Jan 30 with 2271 views | Stenvict | How come Burnley sold out their allocation and filled the away end including Block E, but their away following was only c. 1500 compared to Plymouth/Pompey who filled the same section but was given as over 2k? |  |

Burnley away following on Saturday on 13:10 - Jan 30 with 2118 views | Zx1988 | It may well have been a case of Burnley's confidence in selling a maximum allocation? I wouldn't be surprised, given the impact of away allocations on home attendance, if we don't offer sale-or-return on away tickets over and above the minimum-required allocation, meaning that away clubs will be on the hook for whatever allocation they're unable to sell. |  |

The point I'm trying to make is that they used Block E, the same as teams in L1 that request the full allocation, but there seems to be 500/600 seats unused in the away end. I was just wondering how that's happened. Sheff Wed will have the same areas, but their attendance will no doubt be over 2k. |  |

Don’t think the back few rows were sold. |  |

Thought they would have had to offer around 4,400 initially, as away allocation is 15% for FA cup games? |  | |  |

Yes, you're probably correct as I remember Lincoln took the entire upper Cobbold. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I did miss your point the first time. As has been said I assume there were patches that were not sold, but it did look pretty full. The lower section was pretty much empty too I think. |  | |  |
