Sorry lpage. The TV is not always an accurate guide and does not show the whole of the ground. TV will want to present the best possible image to promote TO just like Sky do at certain grounds. I was there and can definitely tell you the crowd was nowhere near 2300 more like 1000 if that.

Sure, but that's through freebies - which would be real attendence and not the imaginary attendence implied.

Usually you would expect attendence to be higher than turnstiled attendence, since it goes on tickets "sold" (including freebies).

Are there lots of free tickets which end up not being used? If so it could explain the difference between the official number and what we can see in the stadium...

Indeed. Wouldn't be surprised if there have been a number of free tickets given away for each game that haven't been used, but have included in the attendance anyway (which, considering virtually every other club in the UK operates this practice, is fair game)

Wrong you pay vat on money into the club,not on stated attendances that is why lots of clubs give kids free tickets away.

Last year, when Wigan swam to victory against us, our ground was supposedly sold out, but was only 95% full. It doesn't just have to be freebies, it can also just be last minute change of plans.
