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>?

Surely this means there is an element of false accounting, and the PL should be looking at their books?

If we count fans who have paid, but not turned up. Then why have we not announced every attendance as full capacity, given that every game has been a sell out?

We do (for home allocation), it's the away fans who bring down the attendance. 2/3 or more of the away teams don't seem to sell out anymore even with reduced allocation.

teams that used to take the full 6 now take 2 at best because we've put the prices up so much.

Sad times.

Well, not really, unless they're even more stupid than I thought. The old Swales trick was to understate the attendance and pocket the surplus.

Hang n

Might this not also be that away fans regard the prospect of a trip to City now to be a very high chance of a loss; therefore why spend all that money ??

Just a thought..
