Seat Counters - 2022/23

[eastmanc]

You haven’t been to many CL games then!

I have but it seemed particularly bad on Saturday, my sons were saying the same.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

It's been a bit of a nightmare even for us seasoned seat counters today. There were less than 6000 showing around midday and that became nearly 7000 a short while ago. Now just over 6500 are showing.

There are few bigger disappointments than a great chunk of tickets appearing and rendering your earlier work irrelevant and over-optimistic. Moving goalposts are a seat counter's worst nightmare. Wembley is the ultimate challenge.

 

[Tarnat]

I got 6547! Or thereabouts. Are you including the level 2 seats in your count?

typo..... that was meant to be 6547!!

 

[Tarnat]

how many do we think have been held back so far?

 

[Greenandblue]

Can someone count the counters? We don't really have any in Ireland that I know of. Is a seat counter like a train spotter? Do they have conventions? Do other clubs have them? What makes a good one, how do you get to be the top counter, accuracy, dedication, years served? Who's the youngest counter? (Too young to have a girlfriend I'd say.). So many questions need answering.

Beautiful seat counting link up here. Takes me back to the Rosler & Walsh days.

I'll be dm-ing Ric to add the 'Seat Counting' star to your account profiles.

It was a beautiful accidental assist

That's because it was against Liverpool. They have loads of plastics and so loads will want to watch a game against ourselves.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Seeing as you and @M18CTID are doing so much, I'm going to count how many by looking at the opposite blocks.

"Right men lets count 1000 each"

"What if we're counting the same ones, Captain Mainwaring?"

 

[TimpBlue32]

How are you getting to 7800?

Blocks 520-526 - 6000
Blocks 121-122 - 1800 (always open up late following corporate returns etc)

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Blocks 520-526 - 6000
Blocks 121-122 - 1800 (always open up late following corporate returns etc)

Those figures aren't correct. There are between 500 and 800 in each block in the top tier.

You’re a prince among seat counters Dave

he is like an addict who doesn't know he has a problem, firefighting all the way through this thread, while denying any involvement in the counting process, i bet he cannot move for abucuses, and calculators.

I'm up to 5 so far and @Didsbury Dave disappears to be the daddy.

 

[Chappie]

502 is on the side and is full rectangular block, blocks 519 and upward are on the corner and have less in them

I'm nowhere near the Daddy. @M18CTID and @bluesmith are the kings.

Bashful Dave

Don't do yourself a disservice, all counters aren't we.

Every seat counter counts
