Seriously, what is the West Stands Capacity? If it is around 3500 then it was at the very least 60% full = 2100. If it is 3000 then there was 1800. With around 700 in the North then we had between 2500 and 2800 on. This is without the 43 in the East
No way was there only 2177 unless I have got some of my educated guesses incorrect. It was
probably around 2700
I do not understand the point in giving out an inaccurate attendance. There must be some other than corporate attendees being missed out. They must not be counting season ticket holders but why I ask you?
Even if the scanner stoped working (or they couldnt be ar$ed with it as it was too slow) they were still taking a tally on the numbers going through the turnstyles and surely there is a counter on the turnstyles.
If someone in the know wants to prove my
estimates incorrect then please feel free to do so.
Does it matter? Well yes I think it does. How can we guage how successful the move to the new stadium has been in increasing attendances without a fair and direct comparison?
