Seeing that St Marys was sold out last Tuesday how come there were only 31, 267 there. Is this the corporates not taking up their allocation or what. I know that with crowd separation the capacity is reduced but we have had over 32,000 in there before. It may be Leicester didn't sell all their tickets and if so give them less in the first place, a lot of other clubs are much meaner than us just look at the Arsenal. I still don't understand why the away supporters couldn't be given the corner and free up the whole of the Northam for Saints fans, it would be a much better atmosphere. I know that the police don't want that but let's face it we are paying them to be there to do their job and there is hardly ever any trouble at grounds anymore.
The actually attendance is done on people through the gates since we went to electronic tickets.
so people may have bought tickets but been unable to attend. also i don't think it ever gets up to 32000 for regular games due to safety netting between fans. the only time i can think of is the england game a few years back

So it is true that people who are Man U, City or Chelsea supporters buy a ticket to get on the data base so that they can purchase a ticket for those games. Incredible but you think they would at least turn up for the game they bought the ticket for or at least give it away, crazy. By the way we did have over 32000 in the stadium when we were in the 1st division and that was with crowd separation.
