    Aye reetio.

    Guess a lot of season ticket holders couldnt be bothered to go, but still get included in the total.

    Good point. Season ticket sales are not the same as turnstile sales are they? This is distorting attendance figures with sales figures.

    Heres some news for you. Type in Larry Elison to buy Aston Villa.

    Maybe, and he's worth over 50 billion dollars

    Arsenal seem to have been doing this for some time. They cant be alone.

    Come to think of it, ticket sales have probably always been counted as attendance. What's distorting the figures today more than ever before is the dramatic increase in season tickets.

    Although technically they have a ticket for the match. But they are not in attendance. So how can they be added to the attendance figures?

    Ticket sales figures yes, but not arses on seats figures.

    They're not alone it happens at every club.

    We had nowhere near capacity vs Palace and official attendance figures showed it was about 200 short of capacity.

    Rumours of our fans being disgruntled at not being able to get, or get enough, tickets for Wembley so it was sort of a protest. Other people are just saying folk were saving money for Wembley on Saturday.

    I don't want to sound nasty, but what happens if they evacuated the stadium ? would they know who was and was not there. WBA and Leicester brought about 15 coaches each how many will Arsenal bring on Sunday. We will have 46,000 again no bother.
