Exactly. It’s been bollox for years. We all know the announced figures include absentee ST holders.
Re: Attendances this year
Does this apply to all clubs ?
A jack distant relative tells me they regularly laugh when the 12500 crowd is announced as 16 k
Re: Attendances this year
Yeah its standard practice. Some police forces keep actual numbers of people attending, the figures in this article make for interesting reading https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45158878

How different from the old days at Ninian Park when the attendances were announced as, say, 12,000 when there’d be about 18,000 there. Shouts of ‘Liars’ were often bellowed out:hehe:

Of course it does. This is a recurring debate.
As for the original message , yes as we had crowds over 22k week after week soon after moving into the new ground.
Still any improvement is to be welcomed.
The club need now to give us some hope for next season as the boost from Ramsey signing last summer will have worn off now

More like announced as 2500 when there was 4500 there for most of the 80s and 90s 😞

I always presumed that was a Sam Hammam tax fiddle, knock a few.thousand walk ups off the attendance figure and you dont have to pay VAT on them?
