Tickets sold vs attendance

Who gives a shit how many made it and how many didn't? ...... I went only because my lad shamed me into it ....... I would have preferrred to have watched it at home in the warmth of my living room with a nice glass of red

RAG!!

We don't allow red wine, red sauce - even newspapers/books are browsed or looked at.
 
Unfortunately..., some people have money to spare ,even these days . Oooh...its so cold ,dont think I will go ,and I have already bought tickets. Shall we stay in. And on monday we can say , aye we won again to the United fans. I remember going to some mickey mouse school near maine road to buy tickets on the day, then into the ground. Am I right..?Times will change but there is a day that will signal the end of verbal support. All seated stadiums, no swearing, unvetted { is that a word?] stewards, no standing. And if a player has a s..t game its no longer acceptable to show your displeasure by demonstrating this ,by either booing or shouting your opinions from the 'stands'. The prices of the tickets have already had an effect with no disrespect to our magnificent owners, but the working class fans of which I considered myself one in the past are now an unfortunate fact.
So...5 pounds to get in and a 200,000 capacity ground..anyone..?..Pass me another anti grumpy pill...taa thats much better.

I think the NS had plenty of empty seats as with the weather been so poor you have to take in to mind the fact you have young ones in the car with you.
Last night took neary 2 hrs to get from the ground to Middleton to get on the M60 to get to the M62, was anyone else caught up in the that traffic. No accident just cars and buses not able to get up the roads.
We made it back to Yorkshire at 00:30hrs 5 hrs later, I wouldn't have bothered if I had known what it was goiing to be like.

usually travel over by car from North Yorkshire sounds like you had a nightmare so glad we got the train. Had to stand up on the Leeds to Manchester and the return parts of the journey but at least we got their and back in good time.

We realise that but what we don't know is where are those people that have bought tickets but not turned up?!

Not just the Fulham game but every single home game this season! All sold out but never full.
 
Some daft figures being banded about here. I'd say there were well over 5000 season ticket holders not there . Who cares?

But the electronic readers count how many people go through. So I think it's entirely reasonable for the announcement to say "Today's attendance is (say) 39,700, thank you for your support" rather than the "47,000" the announcer sounded so chuffed with.
It just makes us look daft to say it's 47,000 when there are clearly thousands of empty seats.

I don't blame people for not being able to make it, I just wish they'd announce the actual attendance, not the tickets sold.
