Burton (Not match thread)
« on: February 01, 2018, 01:39:26 PM »
Just had a quick look and they have not decided to open the Upper Trinity (Yet)

On seat selector there are the following seats left only

DE      780
Holte   554
Trinity 158
NS      618

2110 left  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Amazing what a bit of form does - irrespective of the opposition

What’s the capacity crowd without the upper Trinity being open?

I think I read somewhere that the upper DE that is normally away fans, will be open to Villa Fans this week.
I might be wrong though.

Thats awesome support. Hopefully, they make a noise for the full 90 minutes, even if we are struggling.

Wiki gives our present capacity as 42,682.
Trinity Road stand is 12,594 with the upper tier being approx 3,500.
So just over 39,000.

We got our first full house against them last season. Super Mac with the winner. Same again?

I suspect someone hacked my account and deliberately posted a wildly inaccurate guess. My initial hypothesis is those pesky Russians. 😱

I wrote something on Facebook the other night. It posted from my wife's account, ignored my involvement and was the most sensible thing I have written about football in years!

38,500 I believe. Trinity holds 11,500 and 4000ish in the Upper Tier.

Sales have really picked up since before the the weekend.

P9 has been put on sale. Likely 2000 empty seats in the away end, plus 4000 upper Trinity means on current sales we've sold 34,000 give or take.

So we’re looking at a gate of approximately 36k for Saturday.
Not bad eh.

Shouldn't imagine it'll go over 35k regardless of recent form, cracking figure nonetheless, lets hope the Holte improves its atmosphere this week....

If we manage to get 4 wins and a draw out of the next 5, I should imagine QPR could be very close to a sell out. It is of course, a very, very big if mind.

Site shows sales as following [because Court is boring before you ask]

Trinity Road - 118 left
Holte End - 387 left [264 upper and 125 lower]
Witton Lane Stand 639/a1396 left [1335 upper mainly in P9 which is the usual away end and 61 lower]
North Stand - 415 -[177 upper and 238 lower]

Total: 2316 left to sell. For some reason Q blocks are coming up, so it looks like Burton have sold all the lower tier. With the 4000 in the upper Trinity, the total unsold as of now is 6316, which is 36184 give or take.

How accurate the figures are I don't know, but its 551 sales from the usual areas since yesterday. I imagine it would be something similar again today and possible a hundred or so walk ups.  But guess we're looking at something between 34,000 and 37,000. Highest crowd of the season to date either way.

I genuinely think the Lambert years have sucked the life out of the Holte.

Even for games like Brizzle when we were rampant the atmosphere in the Holte wasn't the same as it used to be.  You know it's bad when you're sitting in the Holte and can hear the away fans singing.

Walk ups can and do add anything up to 1500+ on the day - walk ups are very dependent on weather conditions and KO times.

3pm tomorrow KO and 50% chance of showers

Anyone still undecided  - get ya arse down VP
