It is starting to become a joke with the attendances at Pools ? 6174 ?? do they think we are stupid. The ground holds 7629 sold that is 1455 short of full. Lets say 750 spare seats in the rink end, That means H.U.F.C are saying we could of fit another 700 pools fans in the millhouse as the town end and cyril knowles had sold out.

We are not stupid, Sort it out pools !

What does it matter ?
As long as the team performs in front of a 'full house' the official figure means nowt

Why the fook would they do that then?

Save a couple of quid?
when they have invested MILLIONS?

There are two machines which are located (1)in the main office and the other in the police/control box which are linked to every turnstile, and every time one clicks it registers, that way the police and safety officers can close turnstiles when they reach the 100% full mark. The information is recorded and both machines must tally, this is then sent to the F.A. who record attendances and use this figure to...

:roll:

No its better to con the fans by saying that there is a 100 less people in the ground than there really is.

yeah but its attendance they are giving out, not how many tickets they sold. if someone buys a ticket, or more importantly is given a comp, but does not bother showing up on the night, then they are non attenders and not counted in the attendance.

the cyril knowles was sold out but there were any number of empty seats where we sit, and there always are, as we sit with the players families.

at the start of the season the players families are given season tickets. the strachans for instance have season tickets but they are not going to show up.

the actual attendance tonight was probably spot on.

Are you sure about that Chip? I thought the attendance given out always included season tickets even if the person holding the ticket doesn't turn up. That's what I was led to believe at any rate.

I found a video of the match against Crystal Palace, the night match where Brian honour scored, the date escapes me, and the Mill House terrace was a lot fuller than it was last night..... there were plenty of little gaps on the Mill house terrace last night.
