Nowhere near 2900

God, you’re a bore. If you think there were only 2400 in that ground you're wrong.

Apart from what I’m told I took the bother using Trinity TV to actually count them.
I may be a few dozen out and I didn’t include the boxes but I’m closer than you.

I get approx 2,800, probably add another 100 in the boxes and visiting the bogs and I\d say 2,900.

That puts it somewhere between my lowest guess, remember the word guess and yours.

Try it, doesn’t take long, HD is a wonderful tool.

FWIW over the years I've become reasonably accurate with crowd estimates at BV and I would say that you're not far off with that figure, vasty.

It's not too difficult under normal circumstances, working on the usual 4k average of the faithful add on some extras and part timers depending on the visiting team, plus the away support on the western terrace which isn't all that difficult to estimate and you'll not be far off, but we aren't playing to regular crowds atm which makes it a lot harder to estimate, not sure why the club can't give out the attendances as normal fwiw.

Other than using it as yet another stick to beat the club with, I don't see a great need to know the exact crowd figure. Going by info coming out of the club shop on Facebook and Twitter we appear to get to as near a sell out as makes no difference which is all that matters currently.

I wouldn’t know didn’t really count them, how gullible are you.

I do however think my estimate, or guess as normal people call them, is close enough, especially with a little bit of top notch info.

I know that last by infuriates you and your silent twin musson (2 can play at that game) but I can’t help it if I know stuff you don’t

I actually have no idea what if any figures the club is obliged to give.

I do know that in the past some clubs gave a paying attendance whilst others gave a figure that included everyone in attendance, paying or not, even the players!

Why someone is so infuriated by a guess baffles me. Have the club even released a figure?

Truth is who cares, one thing I’m certain of is that there were more for that game than the previous two. Who knows we may even have made a profit, now that matters.

No idea why you keep adding names that I may be colluding with, it's just something else for you to be wrong about and I don't know what you are suggesting infuriates me. Not sure the game you think is being played, once again wrong, I'm just responding to your posts as an individual and I have no need to gang up on anyone, in fact, the suggestion is a very school playground comment

You should have a look at the thread with the council's response to what the reduced capacity is, it is 31% of the capacity, get your calculator out see what it comes to and how close your estimate is.

No need for hints about your contacts you've already let us know you have a bit of an in at the Club.

Remember in the Glover administration we would get 6500 for Catalans at home

In fairness we probably did but that was because half got in free, allegedly.
