Could be massaging the figures so they have less tax to pay.
Also the away turnstile was taking adult and concessions through, how do they calculate that when some are paying £22 and some £12.
Smells fishy to me.

Calculating the attendance should just be a case of adding the "clicks" at each turnstile.
As far as the cash is concerned, this is the same foe any business that deals in pound notes and i'm sure that the club have some systems in place to safeguard their revenue.
My point was that, nowadays, a guess can be 1500 adrift and this wasnt the case 10-15 years ago. |

Accusation of tax fraud? Brave Giantscorpio.
Especially when last week we were accused of massaging it up to look good, now we are massaging it down?
Even the most challenged must see there is no advantage to that? |

HKR and Hull do tend to travel by the bus load

I thought it looked like more than the KR game, to be fair.

Quite a serious allegation - will you be contacting HMRC? |

Totally agree with what you are saying. Based on the HKR match I estimated 9000 yesterday. It's obviously more complicated than my visible calculation and seems to defy logic. Suppose it can be affected by the number of season tickets holders (who, it has been suggested, are included in the figure) attending the game i.e. they may be counted although not in attendance.
I'm only annoyed because my other half guessed nearer to the figure than me! |

I would have said fewer fans than the KR game stood down the western terrace as normal and a bit more space than when we played KR.
Good attendance though considering how cold it was and Im sure that put a fair few of both sides fans off

That's probably because Hull K R brought twice as many fans'. |

I thought yours was a terrific gate - considering there may well be some Bradford City fans in Huddersfield..

looked similar to the KR game for me, certainly not more though as some are suggesting.

As you say pocket 4's about the same but, the attendance for the 2 games:
Hull KR 9237
Hudds 8467
770 less folk against Hudds than KR and as mentioned earlier, the North and East Stands certainly had more people in and the Western Terrace looked similar, they couldnt have fitted another 770 people in there ? |

i don't think it is a difference worth talking about tbh. I thought there were more under the roof for the KR game than there was yesterday. Western terrace looked similar.
Its hard to decipher a 5-10% difference in the crowd just by looking and using your memory, especially in a standing ground like ours.
