Those update stats weren't right, I may have counted a cup game or two or forgot to remove the Man U win from before the ban? We're now on

These are explanations for all seater stadia. Not having pay on the gate. Not letting you pass your ticket off to someone else. Kettling of fans. Shepherding fans to train stations even when they don't need the train.
