Just a touch overly cynical no?
My guess is that an average 10% to 15% of season ticket holders are no-shows at any given match (that's the figure I was quoted on an Amex tour) and with Bournemouth being touted as 30K sold the actual bums on seats is likely to be around 26000 minimum.

ESL was about 40% full.

Reckon was 23k tops there.

They've sold 1,950 of their 2,200.

Price the tickets right and they will sell , I wonder how many would have travelled if we had set the adult price at £32 ?

So you're saying there were EIGHT THOUSAND empty seats? No chance.

Or in other words, empty seats which could have covered the whole of the Withdean.

Wow. Clever guy.

What's 28,000 minus 23,000?

5,000. Where has 8,000 come from?

Was 1,500 alone in ESL.

Our capacity is over 30,000. Isn't it?

Capacity of nearly 31,000 minus your quote of 23,000 is 8,000. There was in no way 8,000 empty seats there yesterday.

Maybe I've missed this but why are the park and rides not operating as normal?

huh? The guy said that there couldn't have been 8,000 empty seats, which would be the case if you were correct re: 23k tops...?

I think the club has stripped out the transport levy to get the tickets as cheap as possible , having 2 out of 3 P&R sites working could be the breakeven point.

Credit to Reading, that's a good effort for what is a pretty dull draw for them too. Expected about 700 tops.

I'd say there were more than 8,000 empty seats. It amazes me that people don't see them. I'd say the North was about 65% full = 1,400 empty seats. East 70% full = 2,400 empty seats; acres of room in the south corners = 1,500 empty seats. Couldn't see the west as I was sat there so will say a conservative 75% full = 3,125 empty seats. Which makes 8,425. Obviously these figures are only rough.

Constant? News to me. I've mentioned it TWICE.

If that's too boring for you, don't read it you muppet.

Well this thread and the Bournemouth one was enough for me.

I'd agree the North looked a tad empty yesterday but the ESL looked pretty good.

east lower was emptiest I'd ever seen it
