Shock horror - just under 21000 people actually managed to buy a ticket or season ticket today and get into the ground to watch the game. Reports of the demise of online sales, the ticket office and app must be greatly exaggerated !

As it happens, today’s was the smallest crowd for a Severnside derby at the CCS since 2015.
Dont ST get counted even if people don't attend games?
2400 away fans

Would that be the 2014-2015 or 2015-2016 season season?Quote:

I’m sure you can work it out for yourself.Quote:

I see that the ‘crowd deniers’ are out in force again tonight. Totally missing the point as well. 20800 people managed to get a ticket for the game, so perhaps the ticketing ‘problems’ are not as great as has been made out. I would also like someone to explain to me why the club would need (or want) to inflate the attendance figures for individual games. They know exactly how many people go through the electronic turnstiles at every match.
Well it wasn't empty from my seat within the stadium. The Canton end was nearly full (including the corners), the Ninian stand was 3/4 full, the away end was full, the lower section of the new stand was pretty full and there were more than last game in the family stand and grandstand. The stadium does hold over 33000 seats, in case you didn't know. Perhaps you were looking at the picture before the game started or at half time ?Quote:

Surely the guaranteed 5-0 drubbings will bring in thousands of away fans though?Quote:

Considering the pandemic, people not wanting to go back to football, broken habit, less disposable income etc then it is hardly a surprising crowd. In the promotion season under Warnock this fixture had a crowd of 21,018 which is a difference of 127 people.
21/22 - 20,891
19/20 - 23,846 (helped by high season ticket sales following relegation)
17/18 - 21,018 (promotion season)
16/17 - 22,776 (Friday night + Warnock's arrival)
15/16 - 15,287
Yeah pretty poor reallyQuote:

It’s been that way for decades and is standard practice throughout the leagues.Quote:

Wait until you see the highlights, then tell me the Ninian stand was full. !!Quote:

My mate sits in there and says its been awful since the return.Quote:

I wonder if sitting relatively close to what happened with the Millwall fans last week has put people off.Quote:

It'll take some time to get back to pre Covid-19 levels I think, and that's with a good team, if we struggle it'll be worse.
Family stand looked more populated than for either Barnsley or Millwall. Still relatively low though.Quote:
