Ketsbaia Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 How can they get away with saying 26,000 attended? Because 26,000 school children bought free tickets and then cried to their dad when the teamsheets came out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I know you lot quite rightly won't care but there are more then a few of our fans looking at Sunderland, thinking about what happened when Lerner lost interest as Short has, and thinking that could very easily have been us. Rich men getting bored - bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 How can they get away with saying 26,000 attended? Same way Arsenal do on regular occasions. The leagues rules are now that attendances are not how many actually attended but every possible permutation to increase the reported attendance.

Rich men getting bored - bad. It's not just losing interest, Short (don't know about Lerner) hasn't lost interest but he wants to cut his losses and get out because he has failed in this venture. It's not losing interest it's niot being willing to throw more money after bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovineblue Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Photoshopped, no carrier bags floating around... Clearly that child molester in the black has been photoshopped thousands of times. Looks like they started filling the stands at the top and got bored of it once the game finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Surely if they go down (again) they’ll close the upper tier to home fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Villa bringing more to the SOL than last season up here sums them up. Just over 1600 tonight they reckon. Got no idea how many they brought last season up here or the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I still don't understand how attendance figures don't have to be accurate. What if there was an emergency evacuation, wouldn't the authorities need to know exactly how many people were in the ground? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Maybe they tell the authorities the real number but the press/media the false ones, i guess the false ones include season ticket holders who don't bother to go ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if there was an emergency evacuation, wouldn't the authorities need to know exactly how many people were in the ground? It's easy, the club will know how many are in the stadium, they'll also know the other figure. Let's call it "attendance figure" and ""turnstile figure". You'll also understand that for official purposes the league will want to have as high attendance figures as legally possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Looking at their fixtures, I really cant see them winning any of their 5 remaining away games (QPR, Derby, Leeds, Reading & Fulham) So, that gives them 5 home games to win a minimum of 3 I reckon (against Preston, Sheff Wed, Norwich, Burton & Wolves) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same for a couple of the away games. That said a team that bad it's simply hard to see them picking up 3 or more wins regardless of who they're playing.

Yeah I agree, although they have had at least 6 or 7 similar home fixtures so far, and how many have they won? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The same will apply to the other teams you'd think? You often get one team who randomly go on Play-Off form and stay up with something to spare. Just don't see it being these again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YNGLEGIONNAIRE Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 They have a massive problem in that they have 3 keepers to choose from and they're all gash , spread panic throughout the team and the manager keeps rotating them . Being dropped every few games does nowt for their confidence and so the pressure cranks up each time it's their turn to "shine" / *u*k up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Clubs do have to capture numbers through the turnstiles for Health and Safety reasons but the official attendance is based everywhere on tickets sold, not just safc. You could no doubt get the actual numbers attending by making a Freedom of Information request to the police.
