If it's a sell out for both home and away allocations then surely it will an attendance over 30,000 rather than, as you put it, a pretendance. Unless of course you're expecting loads of fans not to bother turning up despite purchasing tickets.
Be nice, but lots of STH's are no shows. For a popular game like this it might be towards the lower end of around 10%, but that still means that unless they have passed the ticket on, there could be 2000 empties.
The only time I think the attendance will virtually equal the pretendance is for a cup game of a play off semi. Basically when the game is not included with the season ticket.
I'm not suggesting many of those who have bought tickets for the game won't go, just some of the STH's.
Roll on sell outs all the time and the re-introduction of a working ST exchange.
