The number of spoils is annouced by returning officers at individual counts, I think. However, the winning candidate and his/her supporters are usualy celebrating so loudly nobody hears them.
And the media rarely includes them as it takes up time/space.
Here's an interesting thing... I think...
Everyone seems to forget that we must be the most casually-supported club in England. There are days, weeks, and months (someties even seasons) when lots of our fans can't be bothered. They haven't stopped supporting us, they've just got something better to do for a bit.
