Window Cleaner Posted 3 February, 2009 Share Posted 3 February, 2009 Im going with 12,138 How will we know how many actually turn up though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 3 February, 2009 Share Posted 3 February, 2009 How will we know how many actually turn up though ? eh? each time the turnstile turns it clicks the counter one more time. eh? The official attendance figures are precisely that: the number of bums on seats, it doesn't include STs or tickets sold which were not used.

Mole Posted 3 February, 2009 Share Posted 3 February, 2009 I remember being at the Dell for a night cup game (possibly against Crew?) when the official attendance didn't tally with the numbers they'd let into the ground. We decided to go posh and sit in the upper west and people were standing in the aisles throughout the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're right but it probably doesn't really matter anyway. As far as I've always understood the "official attendance" is the number of tickets sold,plus any ticketless attendance (like hospitalilty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La BoIS Saint Posted 3 February, 2009 Share Posted 3 February, 2009 Definitely can't make it. Epsom station still closed so no way to get back. Although as a STH I might still be counted. Actual attendance will surely be the lowest for a league game, especially with hardly any away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a few inches of snow won't stop a 200 ton train will it.Or is it because the lazy bastards who drive them and sell manky sandwiches on them couldn't be bothered to turn up for work.

Sheff Saint Posted 3 February, 2009 Share Posted 3 February, 2009 I remember being at the Dell for a night cup game (possibly against Crew?) when the official attendance didn't tally with the numbers they'd let into the ground. We decided to go posh and sit in the upper west and people were standing in the aisles throughout the ground. I remember that. The club it got it badly wrong that night cos you could only buy a few tickets in advance. I'm sure i sat up in the Upper Westas well that night. Might have been against Lincoln though in the League Cup. I remember some sub 10k crowds at the Dell in the early 90's when the likes of Oldham rocked up.
