Great to see the club hit another 7k gate, poor show from Northampton for an opening day though at around 400.

Still can't wrap my head around the numbers though. So the home attendance was about 6700, but the site was showing almost every seat as sold.  With Northampton having about 500 free seats and 300 lost to segregation, that should mean there were 7800 home seats available yesterday (if the 9k capacity  is true). Almost every ticket gone but we well short of that.

Does that mean 1000 no-shows? Seems a bit high that's almost one in every six season ticket holders not turning up.

How did it look did it look like we had about 1000 empty seats dotted around the ground?

On the Northampton forum a lot of fans saying there was only one turnstile open and they were waved through the "big gate"

Are these counted?

If all our seats are sold why can't they be included in the attendance figure?

Looked a lot of empty seats in the main stand. Could see a few in the ponny. Sounds like some small blocks in the osmond and upper were empty. Probably about right.

Apparently no shows are typically around 10% and more like 15-20% at the Holiday period. Probably explains it

I saw that on their forum but I dunno, because when I first saw their crowd I thought it looked about 200 fans. So was definitely surprised it was even as much as 495 tbh

A few in the pontoon is because a few of them decide it is better to stand at the back and leave the seats empty!

It's simple really. Seats sold doesn't equate to on the day attendance. There was half a dozen empty reserved seats within 10 feet of me.

Having wittered on about the subject for a year now whether the subject is the real ground capacity or whether we need more I still find the clubs attitude to the need for more capacity odd ranging from not apparently knowing what our capacity is to assuming we don’t have 2000 people in the area without season tickets who are likely to want to attend if there is even a sniff of further progress at the club
Cutting through it all the key tale aways for me are summarised as follows.
1 Where there any tickets available to bu for her me fans on the day . Answer no.
2 what was the attendatnce yesterday answer 7100 implying home attendance of 6700.
3 Is it a good thing that potential or returning fans without season tickets face buying seats with poor views or access . Answer no.
4  Are crowds in football up generally and is 7000 good enough for League 2 then League 1 . Answer no
5 Conclusion Is capacity adequate now Answer no.
Only when this becomes the clubs acknowledged postion and there is action to do something about it can we continue to move forward in a significant way.

So why does Tottenham capacity 62 k have a crowd of 61.5 yesterday do people in London not go on holiday and
why do other clubs crowds consistently match there ground capacity

You’ve heard of Stubhub, buy back and the fact they’re a flipping huge club with hundreds of thousands of fans and not a tin pot lower league club?

Interesting that you seem to want everything on a plate? Do you ever do anything yourself? I know two non STH who managed to get tickets on the day, it was simple really, they asked…

If you think there’s 2000 or more that don’t have STH that may want pay on the day type tickets you’re flipping deluded. I’d argue, right now we’re peak attendance until we go up again I’d say. Of all the people I know who used to pay on the day, only 2 don’t have STs now…

I’m beginning to think that any post/thread related to attendance or capacity be best deleted or locked Becauee the same excrement just gets regurgitated.
