Absolutely not.
It's literature and language that i struggle with, so I'm more than happy for you to show me my errors.
I'm more than capable with arithmetic. 😉


I don’t doubt your capability with arithmetic but bold claims like that often, inadvertently, come back to haunt you! All of us.

All that glisters is not gold.

Quite true, especially with those on here that like to be pedantic about things. 😉
 
Expecting some one to pay forty pounds to sit on kop is a bit rich , a nice idea would have been to give spare tickets away & reimburse season ticket holders pro rata
As a way of thanking the loyalty during a terrible spell in our history
Unfortunately we are not forward thinking enough.
 
The BBC must count the extra 6 as in the pigeons.

At the game we always try to predict the attendance which is tougher this season because a fair amount of season tickets are missing matches.
So you can only judge by looking at the Bramall Lane upper tier.

Looking around the ground I predicted 29,100 and it came up on the big screen that the official attendance was 29,116.
 
If Souza points randomly at no one in particular they are counted in the attendance even if they aren’t actually there.

Noticed that when Souza came on as sub, he was instantly pointing at various people whilst running onto the pitch.
One of the few times I managed a smile during the match, so thank you Vini "The pointer" Souza.

Its something that if we get the opportunity to go up any time soon needs to be in place. The problem is the re-sale to touts especially in the Premier League. The system has to be well internally audited and policed otherwise you get the problem where someone initially buys with no intention of attending but reselling to opposition fans of said glory hunter team in the home end.
 
The source of attendances can be contentious because 2 seasons ago the BBC were regularly making errors on attendances.

I was at the actual matches and saw what the official attendance was on the big score board.
However noticed a few times that the BBC were deducting small amounts (2 or 300), every now and then they'd add a few (about 50).
Remember a Birmingham home game where the attendance was something like 19,604 but on the BBC site it showed a very low 9,604.

Then you have some clubs that don't give their official attendance until the day after.
It means nothing really because season tickets are automatically added into attendance, artificially keeping them high.

Never trust the BBC.

Regardless of the accuracy, we've topped 30k on the football stats sites which is good enough for me.
