Rags caught lying about attendances (merged)

Re: The city is ours

I believe City do this as well, they always count the 35000 season ticket holders as being there as the seat is sold - even if they dont show up.

so fair do's its not just the scum.

Re: Rags caught lying

I understand a bit. We all know they're made to buy cup tickets they probably don't want and when you come from south of Watford it's an expensive hobby.

I was thinking this might be true too. Wouldn't surprise me if every club did this.

Re: Rags caught lying

so is it people buying tickets and not turning up like arsenal say or just not selling?

But what about the two million locked out every game, cant they let some of them in?

Re: Rags caught lying

The OP is absolutely right to point this out. Some people on this forum are disgustingly quick to defend the rags that they haven't even thought about the point. "We do the same", been said numerous times. We don't have a song saying 20,000 empty seats do we? The rags make out like we don't sell out because we have empty seats on match days but they obviously have the same bloody empty seats only we're not bloody daft enough to sing about it! It shows their hypocrisy. We sell out the huge majority of league matches. I don't think we have failed to sell out once this season and I can only remember two or three occasions in the past three seasons in the league. Our FA Cup attendances have been brilliant as well this year, and we can get people in without forcing them in, like the rags do. Carling Cup was shite, but it's no different in Trafford.

The OP is spot on.

They're abiding by FA rules, which require them to report tickets sold. Every club does the same. How many threads have there been on here asking how could we have sold out when there were empty seats in the stadium?
