freezer Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Can anyone work this out. We sell out the Wolves game, there is a small strip of segregation seperating the Wolves fans from the City fans in the East End that could only hold about 300 maximum. The empty seating by the Williams could account for about 500 possibly. Our ground capacity is 21479. Attendance today was 19332. Empty seats (segregation) 2147. Segregation counted for about 800 seats. There appears to be a figure of about 1300 missing somewhere, anyone explain please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the East End was not sold out - I could see hundreds of spare seats. And in the Dolman in front of me, there was a row of around 15 seats completly empty. Why say sold out, then say 60 seats are made available, then say sold out again when it is clearly not SOLD OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcshorey Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 attendance is the amount of people who go through the gates. So season tickets holders who couldnt make the game don't get counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 15 seats are probably the seats sold to half season ticket holders who ARE NOT coming this season. These are the people who only got the half S/T incase we go up and then are guaranteed there Premier League S/T. That is a FACT, sad but true, they are the glory hunters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodburyred Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Whaat do they do with that random little block between the williams and atyeo? Always says sold out online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 attendance is the amount of people who go through the gates. So season tickets holders who couldnt make the game don't get counted. I thought they did get counted, as the seat has been sold and is therefore considred as taken whether its filled or not.

Almondsbury_red Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 there's also a block of seats in the eastend were the away fans come in closest to the williams they don't use for safety reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdgifford64 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Just out of curiosity with regards to the `do ST holders get counted even if they don`t attend` argument. I know there have been threads in the past where people have been adamant that they do get included in the match attendance. So.....hypothetically, if we had 10,000 ST holders and were forced to play a match behind closed doors, would the attendance still be 10,000 ? I`m bored..............

WTFiGO!?! Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 There appears to be a figure of about 1300 missing somewhere, anyone explain please. Odd on the naked eye and always has been... weird man, even when the place looked full right up (or easilly well over half anyway - in the bad old days) they were still spouting out eg/10,112. Dare I suggest Jack Riddler ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Any professional business that would consider a Jack Riddler would be silly in the extreme in this day and age. The powers that be wield enormous powers. Why would any Director risk being disbarred from directorships, heavt personal and corporate fines and at worst a spell at Her Majesty's Pleasure would be an idiot and the Directors of Bristol City Holdings Ltd are far from Idiots. Though the PR is still poor at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderSomerset Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 at the front of the east end there was a number of seats empty, however sitting in the atyeo you could see that most of those empty seats were probably spare due to the amount of people standing around in the aisles. There were people stood everywhere in the EE. We sat in the block nearest the Wolves fans which was split with the netting. There were probably only 15 seats in a row, but around 20 / 25 people stood per row. Add to that\all the people stood at the back and the EE would have been sold out..
