Why though?

Why does it matter?

As long as we are not committing fraud it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. It’s just d1ck waving.


What’s wrong with that ?
What’s wrong with being proud of our support ?

The figure of 7000 is tickets issued, it’s not tickets sold.
It includes general sales and season ticket holders. It includes complimentary tickets issued. It includes free pass holders such as staff and every academy player etc. as from a capacity point of view, and safety point of view, all of these have to be taken into account.

Not everyone that has a ticket is forced to turn up.

As someone has pointed out, the scanners are very hit and miss too. Seeing loads of occasions where they can’t get the codes to scan, so just let the fans in.

It’s a number. The likes of Grimsby Pete couldn’t go today but I’m still proud of his support. I’m proud of our real fans whether they are part of the ‘attendance figure’ or not.

The way we spin this is great PR for the club who have a side currently that are doing their PR on the pitch.

Because if something is clearly wrong until you know the reason why you don’t know whether the reason matters or not. And also as stated by others above we should be proud of our support .

The club never said we had sold 7,000 tickets - over 7,000 tickets were issued is what they said. I think we're probably giving a decent amount out to schools etc that are going unused but saying 'over 6,000 tickets issued' on a Tuesday morning is a great way to get anyone unsure to commit and buy a ticket. Notts County will be the most in demand ticket of the season so far. I bet on that basis we will give less freebies out knowing we will be able to sell more and the difference between the 'tickets issued' and the attendance will be much smaller.

Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd (the results and football help). As soon as the attendance was announced I just assumed the social media accounts had just over hyped tickets ‘issued’ to attract more people to go in the hope that the figures stated would be close to achieved.

Obviously might have got that wrong and the other suggestions re scanners and complimentary tickets not being used may be correct. There does seem to be an issue somewhere.

Actually Grimsby Pete was sat next to me today - Kingston was also there.  When my ticket was duplicated last month there must have been another  2000
