thousands of home fans arent on here putting it in type, you are. so yeah, im replying to your implied accusation on another thread.
the turnstile system is automated, each click is registered against that turnstile and all the figures are logged on a computer system. a system that is checked and verified by the relevant authorities. after the turnstile figures are checked the hospitality numbers and other spectators (eg panda club) who dont go through a turnstyle is added to the final tally before being announced.
its an allseated stadium where individual tickets are sold against a relevant seat number. do you honestly think someone at the club is risking a criminal offence in front of the police etc week in week out? how many punters do you and everyone around you think is not being counted? 10s, 100s, 1000s?
still sceptical?
