BURNLEY are anticipating a complete sell-out for their forthcoming Carling Cup quarter final clash with Arsenal, after the 18,500 home allocation sold out last night.

The Clarets were rewarded for beating Chelsea in a penalty shoot-out with a home tie against the Gunners, and supporters have snapped up seats for Tuesday’s game just a week after going on sale.

Only refunded tickets will now available to home fans, while Arsenal are expecting to sell all of their 3,000 allocation.

Chief executive Paul Fletcher said: “It’s fantastic. The message from the club was that we wanted to have a full house supporting Owen Coyle and the team because the manager has commented so often on the impact of the fans.

“The 6,000-plus who went to Chelsea helped us to win the game, and it should be a very even game against Arsenal at Turf Moor with a sell-out crowd behind Burnley, and we’ve still got just under a week to go!”

Supporters still wishing to buy tickets are advised to contact the ticket office on 0871 221 1914 on a daily basis to check for updates on refunded ticket.
