FindernRam Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 PP looked well under half full on Tuesday night yet the official figure was 20000. To my untrained eye it was far less than that. Are they counting ST holders whether they turn up or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taribo Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Surely the electronic turnstiles just count how many people come through? r_wilcockson and Gritstone Tup 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BathRam72 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 How is attendance measured? - By the amount of people at the game. (sorry, I couldn't help myself). ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool_as_custard Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 it always used to be that all season ticket holders were counted, whether they attended or not, because of levies to the Football League and therefore recognising season ticket payments on a game by game basis. How that works now with many of us using "free" season tickets carried over from last season, god only knows. Definitely didn't look like 20,000 on Tuesday.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 i guessed 20000 from where i was sitting and it was 20450 i think....a lot of it depends on where you are sitting when estimating the totals.

Crewton Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Same here. Judging by the seat availabilty figures, there would have been around 8,000 left in home areas, 2,000 left in the away areas, whjch would mean around 22,500 seats sold, of which around 16,000 are STs. A no-show rate for ST holders of 12.5% would give you the 20,500 figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually those foot markers in front of the urinals.. They are sensor pads, hence the need for you to stand directly on them. If you're not lined up on them correctly, or stand in between them, you don't get counted. You are a nobody. You don't even exist! If you use a cubicle, you have to wave your hand up and down to set off the magic eye. (PM @DarkFruitsRam7 for full details) Obviously it's different for the ladies... they have a laser line sensor set 2.75 inches (70mm) above the seat, for when they're hovering! If they touch the seat, or their skirt dangles, alarms go off, and they all have to go straight to the decontamination area, before being allowed back in to the stadium.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Attendance figures relate directly to sold seats don't they? As such season ticket holders whether there in person or not should be counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-attendees have every right to be counted in a figure for sold tickets. The money spent by non-attendees has every right to be counted in a figure for income and/or ticket sales. Non-attendees really, really, really should not be included in any figure laying claim to the number of attendees! It's so obvious, I didn't even need to check with Google first!
