Attendance figures are based on tickets sold. Not how many times the turnstile clocks around.
It has to be, for financial and audit purposes.

Of all the things to batter the club for, this is probably the most minor.

They're no more lying about the figures now than they were ten years ago. They counted non-attending season ticket holders then. They count them now. Just like every club I know of does. Not sure why this has to keep being explained. It was ok to do it 10 years ago mate ....the goalposts have now moved apparently though It's the repetition that does my head in mate. I could understand it being raised initially, but the answer's been given so many times yet the same people keep raising it. If you ask a question and you're given the answer, why keep asking the question? Edit: Just seen you've already addressed this point. Ha, now I'm doing it.

How many do you think were there then? Genuine question!

It's a common practice, in the USA when the baseball games go on into the week they announce the attendance as 50 thousand when there is about 3 thousand.

Don’t blame anyone for not going. At all.

As many have said already, this isn't a new phenomenon in football and virtually all clubs do it and have done for years. Would you be happier if they changed it to "Tickets sold" rather than "Attendance"? It would still be the same number, the stadium would be just as empty and you'd still have a meaningless stat that means the square root of fuck all anyway,i mean do you think that the club are basing their accounts on someone manually counting the amount of actual people in the ground on the night and are therefore fooling the taxman or something?
Why does it even fucking matter anyway?
