Great to see Brydon start again but then worrying to see that he didn't come out for the second half. Brydon was always planned to play 45 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't battered as much as I expected and although hampered by Bartley 's tactics we were in the game. Yes thankfully they were rusty after their sunshine break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time there was a Challenge Cup semi when the crowd was reported as 4500 despite Morton filling the 3000 capacity Caledonian Stand. They complained and the attendance was revised to 6542. That was in the daze of cash turnstyles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a clever idea to mess with HMRC, look what happened to the mob a few miles East of you! In the past I’ve no doubt that happened. Can’t see it happening at a time where almost all sales will be digital and not cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a clever idea to mess with HMRC, look what happened to the mob a few miles East of you! We don't. We get this every time someone thinks they can count how many people are in the crowd. The tickets sales are electronically recorded and we're accountable to that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'm sure you're correct ie the digitally obtained figures will be correct. It was just that me and the two pals I was with (one a former Bud season ticket holder) all made the same observation based on a purely visual assessment of the occupancy of the four stands ... ie that the stadium looked just over half full. These things can be deceiving though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
