Attendance tonight... 25,518 (merged)

[Notters]

Anyway - highest attendance in the championship

 

[Smithy]

If this is how it is going to be done now, it looks likely we will break our highest ever average attendance this season.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Why did Richard what's his name twice say that our capacity is now over 28000. Isn't it 27750 or something?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The alternative explanation could be that we've sneakily installed 32,000 seats, with another 3,000 to go in later.

 

[Stuart Munday]

If there were 25500 there tonight we must get about 30000 when we play Leeds.

no announcement of the away fan numbers as well, i noticed unlike last season where they got a stand in ovation

 

[rouseytastic]

We've got a nice shiny bleepy system when you swipe your card through. Attendance should be calculated on that not number of tickets sold but not used. Did a double take tonight when I say that figure come up!

It was announced, 784 if I recall correctly.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

It should be mentioned that all Premier League teams announce tickets sold rather than through the gate. As someone suggested its probably a lot more commercially preferable to announce it that way in terms of stadium and sponsorship rights.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

That must have included no shows, no way were there over 25'500 people in there, the south east corner was essentially empty.

Couldn`t give a shit the team played well we had a good evening out ,we have got to start converting the chances though, thats 2 games now that we should have easily won

 

[TheMajor]

It was announced, 784 if I recall correctly.

Correct - just not put up on board like last season.

 

[Hyperion]

The south west corner which was not there last season was empty however the upper tier in the east that did not even f***ing exist last year looked filled out enough. NO WAY

 

[Seagulltonian]

Biggest gate in the Championship tonight New highest attendance figure for the Amex.

Will Barnsley bring more than Cardiff did tonight, on Saturday?

 

[del_boy]

It was announced, 784 if I recall correctly.

My bad.

 

[del_boy]

Correct - just not put up on board like last season.

This will be why I did not notice it like last season.

 

[queens park pete]

The south west corner which was not there last season was empty however the upper tier in the east that did not even f***ing exist last year looked filled out enough. NO WAY

The SW corner was 98% full from where I was sitting. Do you mean SE?

 

[Bean]

Is it wrong though? Isn't the full capacity about 28k? There could have been about 3k empty seats.

 

[Hyperion]

The SW corner was 98% full from where I was sitting. Do you mean SE?

I do of course

 

[Jim in the West]

Well, if you believe the 25.5k figure, it was better than Wolves, and better than Bolton by a mile. I think we really have arrived.....

 

[pasty]

The alternative explanation could be that we've sneakily installed 32,000 seats, with another 3,000 to go in later.

Here's another alternative. Does it really matter? Who gives a shit?
