The reasons for attendance figure ridicule are threefold.

First and foremost it's a clear and pretty amateur attempt by Carson/the Club to twist the truth - there's absolutely nothing to stop them revealing the truth.

Secondly it's a tangible manifestation of years of such skullduggery, of the kinda duplicity that's left stands so deserted.

And of course third each and every one of those empty seats is a visible rebuke to anyone still trying to deny that widespread dissatisfaction...

Agree with you but most clubs report attendances in the same way. Man U for example: they used to make season ticket holders pay up front for a number of cup games. When 30% didn’t turn up to watch Hartlepool in the League Cup they still declared a near capacity crowd.
Ironic too that we all used to believe that attendances at Saltergate were often under reported for dubious reasons.

Only 30%, ours would have been more than double that, maybe a record gap percentage wise for such reporting, on a day with a quid for a kid offer too.

If most clubs report attendances this way we shouldn't be chastised for it.

<br />I would really love it if only about 20 turned up to watch, and the announcement was ' and tonights attendance is 1750 that's one thousand seven hundred and fifty '. I would wet myself laughing. Probably shout back in your dreams.<br />

There were significant jeers at last nights announcement

That photo gallery on the club website is so depressing. It really brings home the scale of the disaster.

I hope DA sill checks the site out once In a while.

<br />Lowest 50/50 I can remember.<br />Definitely less than 2000 in ground.<br />

With our history of fake raffles - Can we be certain that the 50/50 is actually won or even paid out? It wouldn't surprise me if we were to find out there was another RaffleGate !!

I reckon Dave couldn't give a flying fig about the gate, or the sorry state of our club.
