That rugger buggers are more fair weather? What is Bristol’s average attendance? I don’t know but I would say 15k TOPS. I’m at the egg chasing tomorrow but that’s because a mate of mine is entertaining me in his hospitality box. That’s swelled the crowd by one before we even start.....

Rotherham United, no disrespect to them as they are a good club, coupled with £33 minimum Adult POTD is not conducive to getting 25K through the gate.

Pickle Rick Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Was told many years ago by an ex chairman that the income was slightly ‘manipulated’ from ticket sales and attendance figures were generally lower than the actual figure. As for why they are potentially saying more than the actual; this remains unanswered and actually unconfirmed, what with digital turnstiles. And as for Bob. There were 1234 season ticket/card holders not in attendance today. Confirmed from SLO and I asked at the ticket office. So just as credible as her 7k figure. Also I did not attend today. Pasture (not Wetherspoons) was a better option this afternoon. The Chateaubriand was calling my name Ohhhh the snobbery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 The Sheffield Wednesday game in March last year, 7,000 odd didn’t turn up. I don’t think @BobBobSuperBob‘s claim is as far-fetched as many of you seem to think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolskRed Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Has this not been done over and over and over again... Can we just have a “Club bashing” sub section on OTIB? It’s getting f#cking tedious to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed there was a Bristol post story a few months ago on this, the announced attendances last season were around 15% higher than the actual attendance on average. Gregor did some good comparison on it, attendances tumbled last season post Xmas and I wouldn’t be surprised if similar has happened this season in reality we only had 2 league games top 20k last season.

Do we all have to introduce ourselves? I'll start, I have 3 season tickets, we weren't there. Same with Brentford. Turned up today, thoroughly entertained and recognised what a fool I'd been . Actually just extract the thoroughly entertained for a more accurate sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that the game when it snowed the day before and there were police warnings not to travel and lots of people couldn't get out of their road, village etc etc . If so then using that game to justify a 7000 figure is highly disingenuous. I know STHs who never miss a game but couldn't get to that one, and it was a huge exception. If that's what the 7000 is based on then I'm much more inclined to believe today's 1300 as the more normal figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 We all know that the official attendance figures are not 100% accurate but more or less an approximate of the SCs whether they’re actually there or not plus whatever pre match or potd tickets are sold Maybe it’s simply too complicated to add them all up............. It’s not that important tbf.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 The club will have both- by law they most likely have to. We saw that when real figures were briefly published at the start of the season for recent attendances at AG and could then be compared to the published. This is just common place in the Football League and just football generally in 2018. The norm even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
