Let me guess. This is about the 'pretendance' right?

Guess?
There are some big clues in posts 1 and 2

Was it a record 'attendance' yesterday but the club was embarrassed to say with all the empty seats?

Yes, and probably yes again.

Could not the club just announce the tickets sold figure as " tickets sold " instead of " attendance " ? sorted !

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Or can they not just work out the attendance by how many people have been scanned in?

Yes, and probably yes again.

They’ve announced the figure immediately after the final whistle against both Leicester and Arsenal .

I think the point they were trying to make was not that the figure was not announced but that it was not announced as a record . I think ?

But not said that they were new "attendance" records.

I’m labouring the point here, which I’m sure you’ve already picked up from others, but those two games were successive record attendances at the Amex but not announced by the club. The reasons being fairly obvious.

This reminds me to give up the domain name pretendance.com I bought some years ago and have done absolutely nothing with.

Other than make it come here, anyway.

One more "e" and that could get you in trouble...

Yes of course they are party to that info but choose to carry on like the king in his altogether.

Who really gives a flying ****. We all know they call it attendance and we all know it just relates to tickets sold so I have no idea why so many seem to get so uptight about it other than using as a stick to beat the club.

Absolutely... this debate has been raked over so many flipping' times and the answer is always the flippin' same; if someone has paid for a seat but for a myriad of possible reasons doesn't show-up then that seat will be empty.

Take the Arsenal game; a late KO in monsoon weather, when live on TV, in a nervous emerging from pandemic world, when parking has been reduced, there's a fuel crisis, and you can no longer pass a physical season ticket to a mate. What a massive surprise that a few thousand don't show...
