Apparently we took owa the away end today…


Must have been a mirage, bit like the 33,000 crowd they had even though there were big gaps all over the place

They are massively exaggerating their crowds. They only have an operating capacity of 36k for home supporters with the upstairs being closed down and it rarely appears much more than half full yet they still claim 30k+ every week. I suppose it's all they've got really so I can understand why they do it like.

Even 20,000 crowds are good support in that league, what makes me laugh is they actually believe they're getting these crowds, even though they're getting nowhere near that attendance. One look at any of their highlights (apart from Defoe's debut) makes that glaringly obvious

They're getting good numbers of fans through the door which deserves some credit but it ultimately comes down to how much they're all paying to get in. An attendance of 40000 means little (other than to massage a few egos in the stands) if the average ticket price works out at something daft like £11.59 on average or whatever. It's revenue generated, not bodies through the turnstiles that pays the bills in the lower leagues.

Their revenue accounts in the Premier League, made it obvious they were giving tickets away. Looks like their doing the same, as they are announcing attendances of 30,000 plus, but as I mentioned before, it's blatantly obvious from the highlights that's not the case.

Tbf to them, on total sport the other night they were saying they’ve already sold 18,000 season tickets for next season. If so, that’s fantastic support for League 1. Don’t get why they exaggerate attendances though

I agree, crowds are very good for that level, it's just stupid 1. exaggerating the crowds 2. actually believing those exaggerated crowds

The stand opposite the camera and to the left are rarely more than half full and the upper tier is closed apart from a few hundred away fans. They seem to be adding around 10k to the actual number.

Apparently they've sold 20k season tickets for next season but over 7k of them are Under 16s tickets which cost 40 quid.
