30003 Why so low?

If they can't go, they won't buy a Ticket!
Are you suggesting we won't sell out for a play-off semifinal against Palace?

As has been stated, the figures announced are tickets sold, not actual bums on seats.

Edit to add that I thought the capacity was 30500.

I do realise this.

What you are not taking into account however is that this is a game where STH have to buy their tickets as an extra to the cost of the Season Ticket.

Usually if a STH doesn't go his purchase of ST is counted as a ticket sold.

For this game if a STH is not going the ticket will not have been purchased.

Meaning that tickets sold for this game are bought by people intending to attend the game.

Therefore the number of tickets sold will be closer to the number of bums on seats.

Meaning that the actual attendance WILL be higher than yesterdays game.

Not for the away fans it is not ? So why should it be for the home fans? Capacity listed at 30,250.

Authorised capacity was 28,500. This seems to have been upped.

That's total income not profit. It is not nearly that much. Accounts show. About a quarter from memory.
