Amex crowd figure....

[Smythe]

Just wondering how they calculate the crowd figure, i was lucky enough to go in the 1901 for saturdays game and at no point did i swipe the card anywhere and nor did the other 3 people i was with. So how did they know our seats were taken or do they just automatically count all 1901 seats as being taken?? Anyway what a brilliant day, my normal seat is in lowers west so it was nice to watch game from slightly higher up and the atmosphere in the 1901 bit that we was in was pretty good!!!! Cant wait for tomorrow!!!!

Amazed your card wasn't swiped!

There were empty 1901 seats on the wings.

The 1901 aread have prawn shaped microchips inserted in the seats, similar to the ones you have in mordern cars which detect pressure. This is from a solid source at the club.

Some one did a head count for the stadium. The figure would have been announced ealirer, but he lost track a couple of times

yeah i think 1901 seats are just counted as present mate. was quality up there wasnt it, left for bloody scotland at about 12 the next day, long old drive that was and i still cant speak right haha

Attendance figures can be either based on tickets sold or people that have gone through the turnstiles.

For tax purposes it would be tickets sold, for safety purposes it would clicks of a turnstile.

No idea which one is the quoted attandance figure - suspect it is the latter

 

[Albalbion]

haha well it sounds logical to me. though saying that, i didnt see any prawn sandwiches there, did you?? i was rather looking forward to the prawn sandwiches and all i got was a measly delicious chicken pie

Simple formula for the 1901s:

(where
a= attendance
b= number of canapes produced
c= bottles of Pimms consumed
y= prawns purchased by Albion catering department
z= pitchside temperature in degrees Centigrade)

It's a good job b + c are canapes and Pimms and not pies and pints, otherwise there would be more 1901ers than stadium capacity.

Was it Marie Rose from the catering team?

Both times I've gone in 1901 I've swiped my card. In fact for the Spurs game the damn card didn't work so they wouldn't let me in! Until I stamped my feet and cried.

 

[Superphil]

if you don't swipe your card, you wont be registered as having attended, won't that have a bearing on loyalty points? BTW, we all swiped, had no choice, no-one was getting through without doing so.

We must have been in the extremely posh bit then lol.......home league attendance doesnt count towards loyalty points i dont think and we got the tickets through a friends company who couldnt use them themself for this particular game and someone else had my season ticket so not a problem if we do get points...........so in fact the crowd attendance was 4 more than stated lol.

Not true - we have NO chips at the Amex
