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.
