Disappearing Punters?

[Deepcut Cobbler]

There will be hundreds in the home end.
They've been taking a couple of thousand to places like Oxford.
Your very naive if you think that Luton fans aren't already buying tickets for this game because they are!!
They have over 3500 season ticket holders!!!
2000 into 900 doesn't go.

801 to Mansfield, 829 to Wimbledon, 2264 to Oxford, 1282 to Cheltnum, 802 to Plymouth.
It's a good following, it will not be so good when the novelty wears off and they are at the wrong end of whichever Division they are in.
 
If they bring more than the South can hold it will be money into our budget, in seats that would have been empty, watching their team get stuffed.

Which stand are you buying your ticket in?

East stand.

[Deepcut Cobbler]

East stand.

Free entry for ball boys, don't forget your hard hat and hi-vis.

I hope they are in the home areas. All the more money for us/the club...

Bit disappointing that ! Seemed more there though tbh!

[Cobbler78]

Very surprised it was that low, its the fullest and loudest I have known it all season.

[WadeyCobbler]

Must be the highest Tuesday night turnout for a long time though.

[County Cobbler]

Over 400 up on last Tuesday game though!

[HertsCobbler]

Seemed more Pompey fans as well

I'm sad, I checked the online ticket sales this morning and there were only 850 seats left, surely a couple of 100 didn't just not bother turning up, must have been over 5k

Stadium capacity 7,500 or so......... East Stand AWOL = 1900 less so current stadium capacity 5,600ish. -900 South Stand = 4700 home fans tickets available, actual home gate 4,073 so only 627 empty home seats. (roughly speaking)

[bri77]

I thought the East stand capacity was 1700 though not 1900 so that's an extra 200.

A lot of kids have season tickets and it was a school night.

[The 12th Marquis of Sixfields]

The attendance is worked out on turnstiles clicks, they a screen in the police box where you can see the ground filling up and how many people are in. I thought anyway. The days of the club screaming that we'd sold out only for they're to be 6400 in were over I thought. The only people not counted area those through the main entrance. So guests and corporate. Unless these are counted up and added to the computer counted total later?

Yep, two empty seats next to me due to that.

I used to work in the control tower at Sixfields and saw the screen with the turnstile clicks/numbers so you could keep an eye on how the various stands were filling up. The guests/VIP's/press/directors/refs assessors/scouts and the like didn't go through the stiles so they used to add a number on to the actual readings to arrive at the "official" attendance. The figure to be added on was usually rounded up/down to the nearest 50, so for example they would add 250 on to arrive at the figure. Hardly hi-tec but I guess we aren't alone in doing that.

I've also noticed as a fan that the turnstiles sometimes click round twice when you do in, dependant on how long the operator keeps his/her foot on the pedal!

So the official attendance figure should be taken as a rough figure, but it's still got to be more accurate than the old County Ground cash turnstile days of "one for me and one for you"!! (allegedly) 

[The 12th Marquis of Sixfields]

I'm not sure there's any allegedly needed!

[County Cobbler]

Yesterdays attendance inperspective, it was the highest in League 2 and higher than six matches in League 1!
Maybe we are doing a lot better than some think!

Not doing us down but you seem to have overlooked the near 7000 crowd at Oxford......
