LOL. I know the camera angles don't always show everything, but having been to a lot of games you do get to be able to estimate the attendance figures to a reasonable degree of accuracy. Unless Toronto were hiding a few thousand somewhere, the visual evidence suggests that their actual attendance figures don't match up those published.

Season ticket holders count in attendance figures, and this will distort real statistics for all clubs. Counting tickets is different to counting turnstile clicks.

Are you the Rain Man? Pretty impressive to be able to count 7,000 constantly moving people in 80 minutes using only limited camera shots, you should apply for a job at NASA.

Jog on then, and don't bother with a 12th post.

Blimey, I was at the Shay today, and estimated 2000 (it was 2030 rather than the 3000+ reported). It's not whether there was 7000, or 6500, or 7500, more that the seats appear a bit bleak and look more like a couple of thousand rather than seven. I might well be wrong, but from what I saw on TV the number of folk in the ground appeared to be far less than the declared numbers.
