Today’s attendance

Another consideration to take into account regarding the turnstile is the fat people, not being funny but if you’re to fat they open the gates for you. Probably not a big significance but they should all be adding up.

I looked yesterday to get a couple of tickets and couldn’t find two together other than restricted views

All Town Aren’t We sites remaining ticket counter shows only around 700 those  left in ground for Notts county so with them bringing a large contingent looks like we are heading for another 6500 crowd!

Four points clear top of the league

There is clearly an anomaly between tickets issued and the actual match day attendance and It's hppened every game this season.

I have no idea what the anomaly is though.

I work in the music/entertainment industry. Since the end of lockdown, despite ticket sales for events looking very healthy, attendances are not. I did a show at the Electric in Brixton which sold 2400 tickets (a sellout). 1600 attended. Party on a boat last week, sell out at 370 tickets. 245 attended. Venues are reporting between 10-20% no shows every Friday and Saturday. I'm assuming it's a mixture of Covid cases, people self-isolating and also timid/reluctant ticket holders changing their minds.

I've done my best Rainman impression and looked at all tickets available for the Notts County match and that's coming out around 670 with my counting. If Notts county sell out the away end at the capacity of 2200, then as it stands the crowd will reach 8332, before we sell any more of the home tickets.

Now then, we know that's not going to happen as we almost certainly have more than 670 seats available to sell and Notts county probably won't sell out the away end at full capacity.

I'm coming up with that we're giving away tickets somewhere.

Can't be giving away hundreds of tickets surely, and if we are why not give away the restricted view tickets and then leave the better views for those who pay? Especially if those being given tickets cant be bothered to rock up.

It's weird because the online system isn't matching the reality of the attendance. If you look, as I did for the Notts County match, it looks to be just shy of 700 left, which if we had 0 away fans would leave us with 6300 home fans, but that doesn't tally as we had a good splatter of home fans in the Osmond today and reached 6400

I will admit, I am doing napkin maths, but it seems something isn't adding up and I would love to be corrected with facts.

A current home sell-out without the Osmond, and reflecting that we seem to be leaving a number of seats empty and will have some no-shows, is circa 6,150 based upon the Wrexham game, so I predict just over 7k with 900 from Notts.

Today's announced attendance was the second or third highest in terms of home fans in the National League and League 2 - only Swindon confirmed higher, no figure yet for Tranmere. Also better than half of the League 1 home fan numbers.

Not sure that's a true stat to follow as you're discounting Bradford City as they played at Swindon, Bradford City average at 15,783, which is impossible for us.
