I think it was more likely the other way around. Planning Permission was technically for 28,500 (increased for 2013-14) and the attendances against Palace and Blackpool were understated. Figures from the Argus.
I'm just a bit curious of how many supporters could actually practically get in the Amex?
The actual number of padded seats is likely to be a different figure.
Made a mistake. only D were occupied by Brentford, see

Yep, It does seem that casual supporters are just waking up to thinking about getting a ticket. They had a better choice yesterday. The ones available in the corner are scraping the barrel if there is a choice of watching it on TV. Not the area for the right sort of atmosphere.
28,672 v Burnley 1960-61
There might be a few supporters who remember this match? Not me. They were still talking about in the latter half of the sixties. 3-3.
Something for Radio Sussex to find.
Burnley look like that they have been allocated 1700 seats (+ 300 for segregation) but may only be bringing 1400 or so?
Maybe our officicial capacity at 30,750 is more than we can ever get in?
I think that is about 1200 fans (S1E and S1D) + S1A which does not seem to be allocated for away fans. It seems very possible that this will be the record number of home supporters in the Amex?
That explains the 200 empty seats in C & D (part) then.
I wondered if we would get 30K in he ground. Could be dependent selling seats to Burnley fans in A & B ? Wolves had more local fans so they could fill up the away allocation and take the crowd over 30K. I think it will be more like 29K...
