    Right the crowd was said to be 11000+,however when you went on the city site there were very very few seats avaliable around the ground.

    So where was the remaining seats as very little were online avaliable.

    Cooking the books comes to mind here.

    Well, something is wrong. i collected my tickets from the club shop at about midday today. the block I picked in the Dolman was the only one left with 3 seats together, the reality of that was completely incorrect. we are missing out on tickets sales because of this..

    Like someone once said on here, we are fundamentally **** at something that is a mainstay of a football club, selling tickets.!!

    I've been hearing conspiracy theories for years about the crowd figures. The Gate seem pretty accurate to me. Orient didn't fill out their end, there were quite a few spaces dotted round here and there, maybe not loads of empty seats in one spot, but most rows in the Dolman had at least 2 or 3 seats spare.

    There will be some season ticket holders who cannot make mid-week games and some who will be on holiday

    There were a fair number of empty seats in the Atyeo. At a guess I would say around 5 to 10% of capacity.. Probably the same in Williams and Dolman.
    Season ticket holders on holiday or some don't come on evening or working?
