Only you could twist a thread about how full the ground was into a negative. You are yet another person who criticises support without actually being in the ground. I saw and heard it first hand - you didnt - end of.Quote:

I saw plenty of empty seats all around the ground. There were lots of them in what passes for the Directors Box these days for a start, lots of gaps in the Family Stand, in the Grandstand, the Canton Stand looked pretty full and I find it hard to judge the Ninian Stand because it's hard to get a good view of it when you're sat in it. Yes, there were people who were on holiday and there were those who gave the match a miss because it was televised, but there'll be people still on holiday when we play Arsenal and that will be on the telly - somehow I doubt that there'll be as many empty seats though and yet I bet you they'll be back for when we play Burnley in a televised match. There will be 30,000 plus people in the ground for some games this season and that's impressive for a club of our size, but I'm sure we have quite a few season ticket holders who live locally and will see no more than, say, a half of our games.Quote:

Err, that's my exact point.Quote:

Let's be honest about this, our support has nearly doubled in just over a few months, there are going to be people who aren't massive fans who are going to buy a season ticket for the top games, It's a non story.Quote:

Err, I`m agreeing with you :hehe:Quote:

Must have wanted to get away quickly, long drive back to S Wales :-)
Has anyone taken into account the seats with two standing by them?
#thatswhysomeseatlookempty
I’ve got 4 season tickets, only 2 were used. I went to Arsenal on New Year’s Day in 2014 and there must have been 15,000 empty seats.
It happens at all grounds throughout the country .
I'm amazed at the amount of people who watch a fair portion of the game from the concourse, probably checking their bets and watching the game on the tv with a pint.
There's usually a couple but yesterday there were hundreds under the canton stand when i went for a quick piss.
Perhaps there will no gooners , if they carry on with thier losing streak 😁Quote:
