This topic seems to keep coming up doesn't it

The reality is that both 'sides' are right. The official attendance is indeed the number of people who paid to come to a game, whether in advance via a season ticket, or on the gate. So technically, the 13400 announced last Sunday was correct.

But its also true to say that the actual attendance is always less - accounting for holidays, people at work, and other 'no shows'

For example, I watched the Hull KR game from a bar on the Costa Del Sol, yet I would have been counted in the attendance of 13,400, because I'm a season ticket holder.

Sounds like the place to watch all Bulls matches at present

£75 is an absolute bargain - even if the rugby is very dire at times

Just a little hint for those that have already paid online. Dont be surprised like I was when an envelope comes through your door with what looks like a normal matchday ticket. Quick ring to ticket confirmed what I suspected. They are issueing these as receipts for the actual cards. a collection day is going to be held in december where you can exchange the 'ticket' thing for your members card. If you cant get up to ticket office on the collection day they will post any uncollected cards out a few days later.

Got to admit to a WTF - thats not going to last a full season - moment when I opened the letter

Ok. A friend baught a season ticket but has not steped foot in odsal once. Has he been put on the official attendence this season and if so is that not incorrect reporting of a match day attendence?

Match day attendances are based on tickets sold same as Man U and most other sporting events. I am sure somebody has explained this to you once is it too difficult a concept for you to understand?

Me and a group of friends have tunnelled in to each game, using the world's most expensive drainage system. None of us have been counted on the official attendance.

Here's an idea. Everyone who buys a season ticket will get £20 back if we don't make the play offs next season; the money will come from the players' wages. That should make the work shy sods pull their fingers out.
