Questionable attendance figure for Bournemouth

[ThatJa]

Now I'm not one for critisizing our support, its brilliant but its quite possible someone at the lane can't count....

Bournemouth brought 1200 apparently... and there were loads of empty seats on the Kop + the JSS, so not sure how they come to the conclusion that our attendance was 30,361 today...

Tickets sold mate, it's always done on that

But surely those who never attended will be issued a refund? That's a lot of people not turning up.

season ticket holders don’t get a refund.

Yeah they will, but they're not going to bother altering it after the fact.

Will all be season ticket holders who didnt go. Bit of rain and wind.

I know that, but I'm quite certain that 80% of the empty seats will be non season ticket holders.

 

[BigBed]

Oooo, I couldn't get today, can I have a refund!??

Not questionable at all. All attendances are based on tickets sold.

Todays game was an official home sell out.....that’s 29,200 right there.
However it seems a few will have asked for a refund.....but doubt there will have been many...most of the no shows we season ticket holders.

It turned in to a false alarm because at the match the conditions were decent and definitely playable.
It was totally dry, quite warm and hardly a breeze 2nd half....there were blue skies and sun.....good conditions to watch a match.

Is this really the topic of conversation after we go 2 point behind a champions league place? Jesus wept.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

There were about 3k outside at quarter past 2 because half of the turnstyles were shut due to some cladding falling off the hotel.

Game should have been delayed to get everyone in.

No, our train from London cancelled so we couldn’t go.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Don't know why folk are moaning. Every club does it. Pigs do it all the time. That's why they publish 23k when there's only about 16,500 in the ground.

Obviously being 5th in the Premier League isn't good enough to stop some so called Blades having a pop at the club. ☹

 

[1066blade]

This official figure is solely based on tickets sold. Do you think the club sets out to falcify attendance? This is fraudulent business activity, people would go to prison. Just enjoy the three points ffs.

 

[Blademan18891889]

Fair enough , obviously some have valid reasons as will be the case every week, infact anyone can do as they please whenever they want but it was quite clear that a lot didnt go today because of the rain and wind, can understand why tbf.

 

[TAMUS]

Did we win ?

When did you dream this one up?

 

[VictoryBlade]

God it was over 30k again, what's not to like about that????? I know of a massive team that hasn't averaged that in the top flight since the 50's.

I think it shows how many people do travel for United games. Anyone South trying get up today by public transport was struggling.
I was another who in the end put my hands up and resigned myself to the armchair.

 

[184blade]

Why would the club announce a sell out if it wasn’t? Clearly some people decided against travel because of the conditions. The snake pass was closed, trains were cancelled and it was on the tv. I know a few stayed in the railway when they saw the queue for the south stand.

 

[Hackblade]

If it's based on tickets sold rather than actual attendance, why are there always pockets of empty seats clustered together in the not-so-good seats? Looks like they just haven't sold some of the worst seats.

If they paid for the tickets it's still a sell out.

So did Bert for the first time ever, it wasn't fit to travel, conditions were so bad that he had to shelter in his wine cellar all afternoon.

Anyone would think it's a pig that did the OP

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Possibly a dumb question, but why do you get it refunded if you don’t attend?

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

It's that where that comes from - War of the Monster Trucks?

There's a pig fanzine and Facebook page called that. Did they show monster trucks instead of the cup final?

Yeah, but,but,but they took 3k to Qpr
