MillwallLoyal 282 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Have wondered for a while now why we nearer reach full capacity when games are sold out. Obviously there’s the secregation issue, but on Thursday there was no segregation as no visiting supporters, yet the attendance was 49,309? Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere.

May have been UEFA requirements, a lot of grounds capacities seem to be reduced for European games. I think some of it is related to advertising. seems to take a couple of thousand off the total.

So even if people hadn’t turned up they would still be counted in the attendance figure which should ultimately make it closer to the 50,800 figure.

geronimoo 1,474 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Any payments by cash are put straight in the pocket and pay with card it goes in the books, I remember going to a game a few years ago and the stadium was half full but officially only 5 supporters turned up. The Tax free cash is used to buy hair products for Windass and drink for Pena. Broxi95 and magic8ball 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the seats with extreme restricted views that never sell. Either end of the Enclosure and small numbers behind structural beams.

Cedrick 8,048 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 There’s a few pillars in the mainstand that block the view of the goals from certain blocks of seats they maybe don’t sell them but count them in an overall capacity Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
