Drazen Muzinic 1,502 Posted April 6, 2015 They announced 26993 at the ground.I remember saying to Drazen jnr that the attendance was just 7 shy of 27000.Is there a Robert Chase type gate fiddle (allegedly) going on here...

thas norfolk 0 Posted April 6, 2015 Obviously turn up at the ground,unlike lots of other people who waited to see the goals on sky sports,they put up 22993 unlike official scoreboard,said to the missus when we got back sky got it wrong again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted April 6, 2015 [quote user="Making Plans"]Website this morning said sold out. So what did 4,000 odd season ticket holders find more important to do on Easter Monday?[/quote]Even if they didn''t turn up, the attendance figure reported is tickets sold, rather than number of people that attended. But as others have said, the figure you have is incorrect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted April 6, 2015 There''s no ya that there were 4000 empty seats; the figure put on the scoreboard was definitely 26993 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielsroundabout 9 Posted April 6, 2015 When it was announced near the end of the game the screens were showing 26,993 but the guy making the PA announcement read out 26,943. So that narrows it down to just 50 as the discrepancy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted April 6, 2015 How could anyone have thought there were 4,000 empty seats this afternoon. Unless of course they weren''t there having something better to do......... [:)][:D][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damn that Ralph Coates! 74 Posted April 6, 2015 so what number exactly is our full to capacity attendance now going to be please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted April 6, 2015 27,005 was the binner game crowd which I believe was an all seater record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted April 7, 2015 Does that 27,005 include the two managers, their coaching staff and the substitutes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,757 Posted April 7, 2015 What an odd thread- someone who was clearly not at the game criticising people who were at the game for not being there? Based on an online stat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Lol and not only that but an online stat that was wrong and he got wrong because he believed all the guff that goes online It''s fricking delicious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted April 7, 2015 And those saying this is the official figure and not the "sold ticket" figure A) so BBC or sky have the gate figures have they? How?B) for scope, 4000 fans equates to half the jarrold stand. We''re there that many missing seats on Saturday? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCCANARY 263 Posted April 7, 2015 [quote user="Surfer"]Does that 27,005 include the two managers, their coaching staff and the substitutes?[/quote] What about the players, the ballboys/girls, the stewards, police, St. John Ambulance, radio commentators, the press and the person from Sky on the gantry? There must be loads of people at the game who don''t get counted, anyone thing of anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted April 7, 2015 The bloke whose job it is to say ''Welcome, your team, NORWICH CIITTTYYYYY'' I bet he doesn''t get countedThe bloke who kept walking in front of us yesterday, with a walkie talkie, who was faffing with the electronic advertising boards. He''s never paid a bean to get in, I''m convinced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted April 7, 2015 Looks like we already have upwards of 35K, in the ground, on any matchday, but just not enough seats for them all.Do we need a bigger Ground?What say you Tom Cavendish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted April 7, 2015 I reckon you''re right about that bloke with the radio Crabby. And I bet that big old unit who puts the covers on and off the pits isn''t counted. And all those considerate souls who leave during the last 10 minutes but stand in front of me to watch any action are only counted 9/10ths each.And the two guys who carry the numbers to put beside the letters at haf-time aren''t counted. Or the little blue cars. Or SWEEEEEEEEETS. . ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted April 7, 2015 To be fair MP I was only having a laugh. But the fact remains that you were criticising people you only thought didn''t go.I agree us who get to go in both good times and bad are the lucky ones. On Rays Funds we have fans who get to every game and fans who never can make any game. We are all equal. I just so happens we need someone to select from the match bet options for our game at Bolton and I''d love if you''d do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
