Regarding the conference final - "Socrates" is saying they took 37K
The grimbsy local rag reported on May 10th that Grimbsy had sold around 10K and the gas around 25K (note this was one full week before the final) - that leaves the total at that point 12k short of the 47k that actually attended on the day. Using his gas logic "taking 37k" means EVERY one of the tickets bought in the last week running up to the match was sold to a gashead! Utterly delusional!
This would also handily be ignoring the early bird offer that was run by the conference/wembely and EE, and any tickets actually bought by neutral.
There is a more "reasonable and likely" scenario as below:
The report states that one week before the match ticket sales were 10K Grimsby and 25K gas (as above)
lets assume also that on the day there were 2K early bird / neutrals (in reality it may have been less/more but it doesnt make his deluded 37k either way)
so this would leave 10K tickets total to be sold in the last week, and it ssems reasonable to assume these also sold at ratio of 1 to 2.5 Grimsby to gas like before the final week - statistically speaking the 35K sample they have at the stage the newspaper reported is a pretty good inidcator.
the final total then would be 12.9K Grimsby - 32.2K gas and 2K early bird
Now if the early bird and neutral figure was higher (which could easily be the case) it would push the gas attendance below that mark
