Quote: Tre Cool "Wigan and Hull will have sold 30k tickets each easy, 10k to neutrals. Im sure 70k will have been sold. I have no idea how the club Wembley seats work or how they're reported on the match day attendance.'"
They have been sold, so they have to be counted that way, owners are allowed to use their seats at any event the stadium holds. It has always been a bone of contention that they should need to give notice if they are not being used, allowing Wembley to re-sell them for the owners for that one event, that would avoid the number of empty seats right in view of the camera. Not sure about your 10K to neutrals? at one time when I was younger, pubs and clubs in every town ran coach trips, often for the weekend, that does not happen any longer in the same numbers.
