There’s no way there was 13k there today, the blocks that were open were pretty much full.
17k seems about right to me, I’m assuming they meant 13k Stoke fans……

Shocking attendance to be honest just over 8.500 home tickets sold with around 3.500 away fans.
Compare that to Boro v Villa who attracted a crowd of just over 25.000

With 13.5k home fans and 3.5k away fans. Not great but not bad considering where we are at the moment. This time last year when we were in the middle of a decent spell we got 13k against the same opposition including away support. |

I doubt there was 17000 in, 13500 seems more like it. Ok. The capacity of the capacity of the Boothen and the Tile Mountain is just shy of 17k. Neither were full and I’d say there were about 3.5k empty seats so about 13.5k home fans. Add to that 3.5k away fans equals 17k in total. Which is what was publicised. Not a dig at you but some of our fans love doing us down and as you say even when they’re doing that their maths is shit. |

Cracking attendance considering the recent malaise, if anything I think it’s a real positive and shows some green shoots that we managed to get 13.5k in.
Also like the fact they shut the main stand and bunch the home fans together, it’s been mentioned on another thread, but it might be worth looking at ahead of next season in terms of shutting a section of the ground to bunch us together.

Nearly half the Boothen was closed off, section towards the away fans shut too Main stand shut altogether 13000 about right |

If the 17k figure is true that's very encouraging considering the malaise of the last few years, our continually poor home form and the unattractiveness of the opposition. I'm surprised our league attendances are still holding over 20,000 considering how relentlessly poor we've been for so long.

Sheffield Wednesday had 10,000, Swansea had 7,000 so not bad from us. Shame the cup competitions are losing crowds though.

As Lordb has said about half of the Boothen was shut. It was a good atmosphere though. |

It's more evidence of the rise and rise of the season ticket.
Many folks think they have paid for their football for the season when they buy a season ticket.
Back in the 70's and 80's when most people were pay-as-you-go it was common practice to prioritise a cup tie over yet another tedious and frankly pointless league fixture when you are neither going up nor down.

To be precise there were 8,770 tickets available in the Tile Mountain Stand, 4,004 available tickets available in the Boothen End and 48 executive boxes that house 500 fans. Plus a couple of hundred sat in the Main Stand, and 3,500 in the away end
With that in mind 13.5k Stoke fans and 17k fans in total seems a little bit of a stretch although to be fair most of the blocks being used were completely full (apart from the furthest block in the Boothen End and the Family Stand near the front)

For there only be 13k attendance in total it means there was only 9.5k in those two stands or put another way slightly over half full. It was way more than half full so I'm inclined to accept the 17k official figure as being right. Either way it doesn't really matter other than it's being used by some on here (not you I hasten to add  ) as another stick to beat the club with. |

Yeah it does, but not every seat was filled so it seems a tad high to suggest there were 17,032 there. I don't think it's that far out though...... |

I think in hindsight they could have at least filled both stands they opened. |

I think in hindsight they could have at least filled both stands they opened. Tickets were on sale until 90 minutes before kick off though. So they judged it just right? And I’m guessing if there there was the demand they’d have have opened the other bit of the Boothen? |

Didn’t they do exactly the same for the WBA and Rotherham cup games earlier in the season?I actually think it’s better to be honest rather than seeing empty seats spaced out everywhere,this way it’s just a block

They opened up half of Block 21 in the Boothen for sale on the morning of the game and when I looked online at about 11am they had sold 100 or so tickets in that block. Anyone who wanted a ticket could have got one. |

Anyone who wanted a ticket could have got one. Fair enough but I didn't know that. So I'm not sure how well it was publicised. If they'd been open online for sale all along we might have sold more. With families being able to buy several seats together. Who knows? It's not a big deal either way It's just a bit baffling why they chose to shut the sections of the Boothen and Tile Mountain they did. That's all. |
