How many thousands attended the parade ?

[ClaretsPadiham]

Figures online saying 40k.

If that’s correct then that’s blew my head off and unbelievable support.

Couldn’t make it due to working away, for those that did make it how many would you say was there ?

Hard to gauge, I’d have said almost 20k though, then again could have been a lot more

[Longsidelenny1882]

I am not one for lying but at least 3 million utc

It certainly seemed far busier than a normal match day which is circa 20k. I understand people can move about but it seemed busy, as it should the players, the staff and the board deserve it.

[Bosscat]

Watching on youtube last evening it looked like a lot more than 20k ... so talk of 40k is not ridiculous ... looking at the balcony views of the streets it was a sea of people in all directions ... then the folks lining the bus route ... bloody amazing Burnley ...

all the images look photoshopped

Leeds would have had more than that last time they won something!

[Aclaret]

They get that for a home game Leisure !

Beat me to it, there'd be 16 million at least packed into the Elland road car park.

[Claretforever]

It felt a lot more packed than 2016, and further up towards the ground before the bus arrived too.

I’d have said definitely more than 30,000, but less than 40,000. What the actual figure was is hard to say, but you’d be surprised how many people are actually in crowded areas.

Example: 600 Swansea fans at Burnley this season. There doesn’t look that many at a glance.

[alwaysaclaret]

Seemed a lot more than 2015/16 and previous one's, which at the time if I remember was talked about 30,000, so wouldn't be surprised if there was actually 40k, absolutely phenomenal for the size of the town, makes you wonder at the successful times like this, how many we could pull into turf moor if we had the capacity, surely there must be discussions going on regarding this.

[Stan Tastic]

Just think how many we've taken to Wembley for play-off finals and 30,000 plus is possible.

Surely a mistake. Isn’t that the Trump inauguration?

[dsr]

I believe everyone that went to the Colchester game in 1986-87 was there. So yes, 40k would be about right.

Ive just gone through the pictures on the burnley express site and added up every head and can confirm 31246 attended the parade (not including players/staff)

Thanks

Where's Ian Mcl when you need him?

[Buxtonclaret]

And we'd another 200 thousand locked outside.
So up yours, Leeds.

[bfcjg]

Certainly felt a lot busier than the last few promotions, I was going to say a conservative estimate would be......but we need a degree accuracy

[JTClaret]

Being in the middle of it, I'm surprised it was ONLY 40,000 that is the number being given.
Unbelievable atmosphere!

One of these posts made me laugh

But I am a muppet of the highest order

Tbf it was quite funny but not as funny as your reply

[martin_p]

There was certainly a lot there and it felt like more than previous years. But let’s not forget, it would have been a lot more had 20,000 not lost out in the ballot!

[HuncoatClaret]

The bloke doing the interviews at the Town Hall did his best to spoil the night by getting everything wrong.
The majority of the crowd were made up of young fans who wanted to see their heroes, but he decided on boring interviews instead of making it just a couple of questions to a relevant few. All players should have been introduced to briefly come out onto the balcony so they could acknowledge the crowd, and for us to give them a cheer.
He announced that we won our final game on Saturday against Coventry, then gave out the wrong bus route and finally told the masses that it was over at 6:40pm and the crowd quickly dispersed. Unfortunately, that wasn't it, the squad were then presented with the trophy on the steps of the Town Hall with around 200 watching.
Whoever he was, he was no doubt trying to make a name for himself, but cocked it up!

That wouldn't be the bloke from Radio B@st@rdburn by any chance?

He looked like they drew lots and he lost.

With the shirt that he had on he looked like he'd sold his caravan and kept the curtains.

[randomclaret2]

Some fantastic drone footage of the parade released by the club on their facebook page

Likewise on Burnley Council's page ...phenomenal stuff

If it’s Scott Read you’re talking about, he’s a Burnley fan.

Started out on 2br.- remember that? From memory they had a competition to find commentators for Burnley games (they had coverage for a while) and he won. Does the cricket for BBC and is decent.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Scott Reid born and bred in Burnley and a big claret!! Made a really good career on radio from 2BR to commentating on Lancashire CC and international cricket. Top lad as well.

A slip of the tongue with the Coventry/Cardiff mistake which is easy to do - he isn’t the first and wont be the last to do something like this.

Apart from that, he did a good job. It wont have been up to him what the scheduling was and he was probably only reading what he was given. I’m not sure why you have so much negativity towards him….

He’s a huge Burnley fan who travelled to every game prior to getting the radio gigs at 2BR and now Radio Lancs. He’s extremely good at his job and, as SHP says above, he gives excellent coverage of the cricket and has been invited into the TMS commentary box at times over the last few years. A great lad and someone who excels at his profession.

[Quickenthetempo]

Judging by social media, there was lots of families there that you wouldn't call regular Clarets, all decked out in Burnley gear.

Bodes well for the future.

Not if they can't get a ticket and the silly points system stays in place......Which I'm guessing hasn't changed. UTC!!

The number goes down when I count!

Only 10 left!
