20,000 EMPTY SEATS ARE YOU FU***** SURE?

The real liars. Man Utd declare attendances far higher than police figures. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/apr/12/manchester-united-attendances-police-figures" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013 ... ce-figures</a>?

Main bit;

Manchester United are adding as many as 24,000 fans on to crowd attendances compared with the actual number of people watching games at Old Trafford, according to police data.
Sir Alex Ferguson's team have not had a single crowd over 70,000 for a league match, police say, not taking in Monday's game against Manchester City. The club, in contrast, recorded attendances in excess of 75,000 every time. Instead Greater Manchester police's figures claim the average crowd for league matches, excluding City, is 10,000 below what the club say. The police records state it is 65,601 rather than the official figure of 75,527. In all competitions it is 61,739 rather than the club's 73,653.

Ha.

All clubs count tickets sold rather than who turns up.

There were large gaps in the upper tier corner section between North and East opposite us, not sure if they were restricted though as they were the back corners.

Typical rags doing their typical shit. Makes me smile though, with the millions and millions of fans they have the swamp should be full through the roof !
