Attendances

[ourbob]

Ever been in Bramall lane and heard the attendance read out and thought is it people who bought tickets or actually came through the turnstiles?

Well just heard on radio 5 that Arsenal only put out tickets sold not who walk through the turnstiles.

Thanks for clarifying Bob.

I once met my cousin at Highfield Road, he was living in Coventry at the time, and he took his dog to the match.
It was only the reserves but the game was called off before kick off due to fog.
Hope this is of interest.

I think it depends on Breed. Chihuahua's are classed as a half.

Dobermans are classed as 4. Depends how many seats they take up.

I tried to take a great Dane to Bramall Lane but they couldn't afford Laudrup

Most teams are doing this. Owls fan on radio yesterday said the attendance against Burton was a little over 21000 but the attendance quoted 25000 included freebies and season tickets for those who didn't turn up. Watched the Sunderland Barnsley highlights where there was supposed to be 26000 in the ground, it wasn't a 1/3 rd full, more like 13/15000 tops. Should be stopped.

Ha, it was actually Bryan.

Since DC took over, there's been over 1000 reports that household pets have gone missing in and around S6.

You think that's tuna in that can..... ?

miaow....

Do season ticket holders count even if they don't turn up

 

[HighfieldBlade]

What if a ST holder buys a ticket for his mate? Does his mate's ticket count?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Do season ticket holders count even if they don't turn up

Yes/no

 

[DaleHillBlade]

I follow @nonleaguedogs on Twitter and have often wondered whether they are included in the official attendance, did they mention that on Radio 5?

 

[vorpal blade]

I know I'm taking it too seriously, but not knowing for definite how many people are in the ground leads to all sorts of misconceptions about how easy it is for a crowd of a certain size to exit in an emergency for instance.

After disasters, it takes a while before idiots in charge start bending the rules for reasons of propaganda, again, taking it to an horrific level, Wednesday thought that they could squeeze more into Leppings Lane than they actually could do didn't they, they'd forgotten the lesson they should have learnt when Spurs fans were crushed a decade earlier.

Bert was at that Spurs semi final. Wednesday were very lucky that nobody died and yet they and the police learned precisely nothing that day.

 

[Rodley]

If a season ticket fell in the urinals in the Kop bogs, but no one heard it, did it really fall at all?

If it was covered in piss, clearly.

Must be why attendances at S6 are claimed so high as each Pig takes 2 seats.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Yes/no

Thought so Sean Thornton cheers

There is still an apparent lack of owt being learned even today

Well just heard on radio 5 that Arsenal only put out tickets sold not who walk through the turnstiles.

It used to be that Arsenal's attendance was always 70,000 as they recorded only tickets sold and not fans through the turnstiles, however, just seen on Sky Sports that the attendance last night was 59379 which suggests that its the fans through the turnstiles and not tickets sold.

The capacity at the Emirates is only 59,867.

Really? Thought for some reason it was 70000. Seem to remember when I used to get newspapers that the attendances in the premier league were all round numbers

That was Hillsborough, it's rounded up to the nearest 100,000.

 

[No Poirot No Party]

If you buy a season ticket to watch a bunch of mercenaries, then ask for a refund half way through the season. Does that still count towards attendance figures?
