Kemp Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 10 hours ago, davidg said: Looked about right. Family stand about half full. 800 empty seats. 500 Empty seats in away end. West stand had plent empty seats south of the half way line main stand 80% full Doesn't take long to get to 2500 empty seats. Why do some people make such a big deal about this? We now have and all ticket stadium with barcode entry system. Do you really think we can fudge the numbers in a facility like this in 2017? Not a chance. I would also find it difficult to believe that numbers were being fudged, I more wondered if certain sections do not count towards the attendance figure? Directors box, complimentary tickets, hospitality, panda club etc? Looking at the photographs I find it difficult to see where you could have put another 2000 St Mirren fans. There's quite a lot of fat bastards in the Saints support, possibly they are taking up two seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notabuddie Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Really the big issue on this thread is some think the attendance figures were fudged. Should the big issue not be where the 1000 odd disappear when Morton are not hear. They should be at every game. So we are talking about where to squeeze in more support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorizaar Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 As someone pointed out before, there only needs to be one empty seat per column of seats in the West or Main stands for there to be about 200 empty seats in each. If you were to look at a stand like that, it would look full but would actually be far from full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although our block looked full I would not have been all that surprised if there were around 50 empty seats in it and the blocks at the far ends of the main stand tend to have less people in them than towards the centre of the stand. 2 good views borrowed from Twitter..........

HSS Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 You'd have had a job finding 2 empty seats together in the Main Stand.Quite a few gaps in The West but maybe a few more than there should have been down at W7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting in row B behind the Scottish Labour ad in the main stand pic and there were a few sets of 2 and 3 empty seats in row A in front of me... a few people ended up there as they couldn't get 2 seats together further back in the main stand though.

Kemp Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Not accusing anyone of anything. Just stating that when I look at the photographs I do struggle to see where these 2500 empty seats are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Blair Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Given that the capacity of the stadium is now under 8000 due to the building of the disabled section and the North Stand holds 1600 that leaves a capacity for home fans of approx 6300. Also given that there were 4383 Saints fans , where exactly were the 1900 empty seats in the Main, West and South Stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess 1200 in the family stand and 350 each in the west and east stand. They were plenty of seats in W1 but I did say to the mate that I have never seen the main stand look as full.
