    Always knew the attendances for Clubs were “exaggerated” but dear me some Clubs are taking the biscuit.

    Firstly the reported figures

    Secondly, the truth

    No surprise that NUFC haven’t responded.

    Wonder what the Mackems true figures were? :)

    Do West Spam and The Smallest Club in Manchester really think people believe their figures?

    Quite amazing that in reality we’ve still got a top 5 attendance.

    Love the fact that arsenal fans had apparently “stayed away during Wengers final season”. Poor diddums having to put up with the likes of Aubameyang in their massive state of the art stadium. How did they cope?

    No reason why clubs couldnt publish the actual attendance as everybody scans their tickets on entering.

    Think they should actually publish a weekly list of the seat numbers and names of people who bought tickets but didnt turn up so that Pouchy can finally confirm that Albert is screwing his Mrs every time he goes to the game.

    The differences are amazing!! Even taking people that had tickets (season tickets, hospitality, freebies, etc) but didn't attend, the discrepancies are very high. Wonder if they are including the stewards, police, catering and admin staff along with all the playing and support staff? They must literally be accounting for "everyone" in the stadium?

    Skewed. Nothing we didn't already know. Is there any truth told these days?
