Apparently, the 17.5k attendance they're given was wrong - see Sussex Police tweets below... This was also the attendance given on the radio.
Anyways the point of this thread is that the 'official attendance' on the official websites etc is 17.5k or so - which according to Darren @ Sussex Police (and why would he lie?) acounts for STH's who haven't turned up I presume. So my question is, why do our official attendance figures at The Amex always the actual number through the gate (ala 14.5k last night) and why doesn't it include STH's who haven't turned up? Anyone know? Perhaps [MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION] can help on this...?
Also, does this mean CPFCs attendance figures always count a few thousand people who aren't actually there? Surely seems unfair if other clubs don't do it? Or are we in the minority who don't just count attendances as 'tickets sold'?

@ @NorthStandChat 2 figures are taken. 1 includes season ticket holders ( tax reasons) and the control room has actual numbers in ground.
