How the hell did The blunts get over 19,000 S/T Holders ?

18698 - Blades average attendance.

19308 - Blades season ticket holders.

Unreal that isn't it...so on average 600 st holders at t'lane don't bother to turn upNot to mention the average also includes walk ups. Pathetic

Just noticed that.

As well as us playing Wycombe 11 days after we actually did.

Result - these "stats" are f*cking sh*te!

Because they were nailed on for promotion.

Season tickets are counted regardless of whether they actually turn up aren't they?

[theowlsman]

From that I picked out highest increase in away attendance.

Sheffield United + 140%.

It's like they've just discovered travelling away.

Shows that when they've got a chance of winning games, they can turn up. They're going to love it in League 2 the season after this.

19,000 season ticket holders?

Blunts trying to fiddle the books or something?

Either that or even the daft idiots who had already paid couldn't bare to watch that dross.

If turning up naked was a condition of the season ticket it's no wonder so many stayed away, especially in winter.

Also, when did United get over 30,000 last season? They got 28,000 against us, so the only other I can think of is their final home game of the season...?

[Brownlad]

Older.

Bigger.

Better.

I thought the Lane had a 28,000 capacity?

Or is it 34,000.

Against us at Hillsborough.

They got nowhere near at their own home games.

Actually, think it does mean home games for that particular club. In which case these stats are a load of BS.

The only reason we dont't have the highest away following is because no chuffin league one stadium can cater for the amount of travelling fans.

[owlsincefifties]

i think they started off with 19308 S/T's but as the season went on more and adults with under 8 tickets had them confiscated so the average attendance dropped.

Its Time to prove that widely held belief this season then, no excuses now.

IIRC it was for the promotion party game where they blew automatic against Stevenage.

flip knows what the crack is with their season ticket numbers on that website
