Yes season ticket holders are fans and I agree that if we sell a 1000 season tickets that they should all be counted on the gate no matter how many turn up. I understand that Benidorm flats are counted as 500, I think there are approx 120 to 150 clients who are fed and watered on the excellent second floor area then there are the boxes , think there may be 20 boxes each can hold 10 people , these are pre sold for the season so like the season tickets it does not matter ( apart from atmosphere ) if they have 1 person or 10 people in them.

There are 24 boxes that have a limit of 10 on (they doesn't need mean that they are all full with 10 every match day) the 1873 suite has seating for approx 100, with the best will in the world you won't get 150 in the bottom bar so I'd bee surprised if there's 500 unless your counting all the staff.
As for the attendance figures, the numbers under the glover years were never accurate, I reckon there was probs 20% in the ground that weren't even accounted for as it used to be pretty well known you could get in through cats bar for free, hence why it used to be so busy before every home game. I think that the current regime are honest and as such the attendance figures are an accurate reflection of the people that are actually in the ground

There's the hospitality on floor 2 also - 10 tables of 10 diners??

Yep I'd say it's about 4,000 I've really no idea how Belly gets it at 2,500. Also aren't season ticket holders fans also? Finally do we really cater for 500 corporates?

Agree , I thought it was fairly well known that we had probably just over 4000 regulars that come no matter what the game.

I bet MC will be happy come the end of the season, if this years average went up 500 like last year, we wouldn't be that far off the 6k mark then. Let's hope the lads keep doing their thing on the field to see if this growth continues.
