sput the wonder pig said:i think the club are selling tickets in the East stand first so the ground looks fuller on TV.... hence the blocks in the west stand vanashing...... i think this is a good idea to be honest !!!!!!!!!
philiph20 said:So is the general consensus that these seats from the dissappearing blocks haven't been sold and it is a bit of tomfoolery on the part of the ticket office and we are looking at 40-42000 tonight instead of 44000 plus.....bored at work hence the counting.

But try to beat the official attendance announcement at COMS-ffs no sooner do you think you have counted a row when either some bloater with a sultana pie or 8 foot long hot dog wanders up to fill an empty seat or some lager swilling inconsiderate rises to empty their bladder-not on the spot obviously-Blues have some thought for others and ffs SIT STILL!
