19,000 plus.. Really?

[zablade]

Never in a million years.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I was sat on one seat and rested my jacket on another, so I contributed.

 

[BushBlade]

Never in a million years.

So you're saying the fans are shit?

 

[Bladesman]

They always count season tickets anyway regardless of whether they show up.

I am sure we have had this debate before.

Obviously Wednesday have 500,000 season ticket holder but just not all of them show up for match days.

 

[Harry's Game]

They count the season ticket holders whether they turn up or not don't they?

There certainly were a few disbelieving laughs and people looking around the stands when they announced the attendance. I would have said 16,500 - 17,000

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Perhaps the most ridiculous overestimation yet. (And there's been some pretty ridiculous ones up until now.)

 

[zablade]

So you're saying the fans are shit?

There were never 19,000 there today, south stand and John St were not two thirds full.

 

[Jon Bon]

Yeah that's right. Can't diss the performance so diss the attendance instead. Sheeeesh.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

So now we're announcing an attendance much larger than was actually there?
I've been in BDTBL almost full capacity and they've given an attendance as though we could get another 10,000 in.

Who's doing the accounts?
No wonder we're in lumber .

 

[yorkshirecoast]

As has been said numerous times before, ST holders are counted whether they turn up or not. There were actually a few new faces near me in the JS stand - but one or two ST holders were absent.

Our crowds continue to be fantastic all things considered.

 

[Tyler Durden]

The coffee was a bit weak today as well. Further evidence of our spiraling decline.

 

[PokerBlade]

Usually they say 17k-18k and today Walsall brought a decent following, so seems in line with the usual questionable estimates.

 

[BushBlade]

There were never 19,000 there today, south stand and John St were not two thirds full.

That's because we count season tickets, whether or not they attend.

Which they shouldn't do under H&S regulations.

As I'm not the HSE I struggle to give a shit. Send em an email.

With a username like that, I'm going with you on the numbers....

So you're saying they should go to prison?

 

[Worksop II]

Kop Watch - Not much change

Vs Burton

Vs Oldham

Vs Warsaw

 

[1973Blade]

How many points would we need to be deducted to be in a relegation battle?

 

[Tyler Durden]

How many points would we need to be deducted to be in a relegation battle?

Just deduct Sharps goals and we're already down.

No think about it, not just from a United standpoint, if you count everyone who buys a season ticket as attending and you then examine crowd flow in certain areas of a ground and you declare it fine, how do you really know?

Taking it back to United, that bottle neck at the back of the Kop near the toilets and refreshment stall, on a truly full game I have had serious concerns about it and even brought it up to the club after the Spurs game last season I have moved through it pretty easily over the last few weeks, not so other days.

So you're saying my mums a slag?

(Sorry, I'll stop now)

 

[pommpey]

Never in a million years.

There wasn't. Believe me.

15-16000 at a push. Kop fairly full in the middle. SS not bad. BLUT full in the middle and the JSS very patchy.

The attendance, in line with everywhere else, is given as tickets allocated, whether used or not - we were one of the later teams to do so.

They'll know exactly (well, as close to exact as you get with these things, with people entering via differing means) how many passed through the turnstiles for health and safety.

I'm right 78% of the time.

 

[bornablade]

How times have changed. Never used to be like this.

At Alan Hodgkinson's testimonial some guy with a Swag Bag made an announcement that there were 5,000 there and thank you for your support.

Steak pie was up to the required standard

This is what we need to build on. Invest our money into better hot pastry products. We should always be aiming to be a Pukka Pies sort of club rather than languishing in the Peters league for so many years.

 

[Robby Blade]

Not sure if its been mentioned before, but I'm pretty sure season ticket holders are counted even if they don't go.
