As it happens, I turned down a free ticket for yesterday's game. Didn't fancy it to be honest. I'll be there for the Arsenal match, though.

There were hardly any empty seats yesterday. dml1954 said so.

Were there a lot of empty seats? Can't say I'd noticed, I'd paid to watch the game not take part in an empty seat count.

Apologies, my bad :facepalm:

Lots of empty seats in the Man Utd end today with ten minutes to go.
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 😁

I was lucky to make the Newcastle game as I flew to Spain on Sunday morning at 6am... I'm flying back on the 2nd sept and should land at Cardiff airport at 11.20am... I should get to the CCS in time for kick off but any delays could see me miss kick off.... I could have missed both of these games if Sky hadn't done me a huge favour by changing the kick off times..... My question is, if I miss kick off against Arsenal but come in after 20 minutes will my seat be classed as being an empty seat?

Nice view of Ninian Stand here https://twitter.com/joebennett27/sta...713086465?s=21

Bound to be a few empties, but not exactly swathes of them. Most notable is the hospitality area. I guess they were inside eating their prawn sarnies.

From where I sat there were certainly hundreds of empty seats to be seen in the Family Stand though

THIS!

There WERE empty seats. And to me, quite a surprising amount especially after all the posts and emails I saw from people desperate to get a ticket. I'm NOT complaining. We broke a 30,000 crowd. I think that's decent. I'm just a little surprised that's all. I'll know what to expect from now on.

I get the thing about the kids etc, people like me forget that there's more on offer at the ground on match days now. To some, it's not all about sitting in your seat and watching the game. I'm still surprised when I see almost entire stands empty at half-time. Stadiums are different now. I'm used to leaving the pub at 2:45pm, walking to the ground, standing on the Bob Bank for the whole game and maybe going for a piss at some point. Though never at half time, that would just be ridiculous.
