    Give the announcement. That the number of tickets sold will in effect be a modern day record attendance I thought it might be interesting to have a thread on the matter.

    Lots of references to:
    • All available seats sold.
    • Fleetwood away quota reduced (by agreement?) releasing more tickets.
    • Bradford End and NW Corner sold out.
    • All other parts totally sold out.
    • Block A main stand, query sold out.
    • Unavailable/crowd incursion covers some removed at the front of the Kop.
    The actual capacity seems to have been reduced from the original figure of 25,136 to 24,840.

    So wild speculation (there is a poll if you want to estimate anonymously) how many do you think will be at VP, that is seats sold!

    If this team ever gets any good, we’re going to need a bigger stadium

    Club record crowd again. Let me check with some fellow old timers. Bronco, Kev, you were there when Burnley came, was it 39k or something? ;)

    Anyway I reckon 23900

    But, do us ex-pats watching through City website count as “paying spectators “?

    Could we be in for an unprecedented situation where home fans buy tickets for the away section if they're the only ones left?

    Can "Fleetwood fans" pay on the day?

    No, online sales suspended I believe. They have to buy in person at their ticket office.....

    I reckon quite a few already bought in there tbh.....

    Different era and all seater stadium
    We certainly have not had attendances at this level whilst I have been attending
    Four consecutive 20000+ crowds
    Can anyone remember that, I very much doubt it

    Another take on it, and it will be interesting like myself to see how many city fans will be watching online in total.

    I've got a feeling it will be alot more than some might anticipate.

    Regardless, it's a great exciting time to be a city fan.

    Up the Bantams!

    So as I now have more time on my hands
    I thought I would look and see what the actual VP capacity is currently -24800
    Fleetwood have 2 blocks approximately 1300and there are around 200 that aren’t sold bottom of block A main stand
    So by my calculations 23350 home tickets sold for Saturday Fleetwood might bring 300 possibly more being the last day of the season and the occasion, they will not have seen anything like it

    Kin heck…I’m not that old !;)

    The record attendance at Valley Parade is 39,146 for Bradford City's FA Cup fourth round tie against Burnley on 11 March 1911. The highest league attendance of 37,059 was for a Bradford derby match between Bradford City and Bradford (Park Avenue) on 17 September 1927 in Division Three (North).

    The team just need to do us proud. A huge party or the largest ever wake going?

    It was mainly standing when I first visited VP. My boyfriend/ now husband took me into the paddock, I think it was seating, but still lots of standing every time a goal went in. Both ends were standing where he normally went. It was crammed that day but no idea how many.

    Other than the old stand , lost in the fire, Valley Parade was standing only. Even when the old midland rd was demolished ( concrete cancer) that was standing only throughout .

    Always stood on the kop
    The stadium was very tired top put it mildly
    With its faults the stadium is a world away from those days and rightly so
