Attendance Thread - Fulham

i've seen some shite shared on fans pages on FB loads of times with tables of 'percentage of seats sold in grounds' and you get the likes of leicester and bournemouth at the top as if it proves something. obviously we are always near the bottom of such tables.

Yeah. It's a pointless statement really. Suppose if you're cynical it indicates whether capacity is too big for match by match but in terms of absolute numbers means nothing.

Surely that's illegal nit declaring all the money you've taken for the actual game . If ppl don't attend club have still had the money they don't refund if u can't be bothered to turn up

There are 160 seats (40 Rows x 4) between the Family Section and the Singing Section. All of the Front Row from start of the Singing Section round past the South West Corner and up to nearly the Away Dugout not sure of the number but approaching 200.
Then there are others that appear to be random but presumably have some reasoning behind them.

Some seats in the back row of the lower half of the bowl (in front of the wheelchair spaces) are reserved for carers and not sold.

Both go on tickets sold. But the difference between to figures are normally less for Cup games.

Fulham (& HMRC too) are not interested in how many turn up. They ARE interested in how many tickets are sold as they are entitled to their share (I think Fulham get 40% after tax and expenses).

Don't think so. For accounting purposes you have to give the tickets sold

the question was attendance figure. Cup games club announces attendance figure actually at game - league is tickets sold - accountancy of tickets is different. Clubs that include cup games in season card price (Arsenal for instance) declare these in attendance figure even if only half of those supporters turn up. last time SAFC were in Premiership on average there was 2000 season card holders who didnt turn up to every league game, these were still included in the attendance figure.

TBH, I thought it was a straight three way split: Home team, away team, FA. It might have changed, like. Or is the 40% one not the League Cup share out? I haven't got time to search for it, TBH.

Why do they do that in the cup? To he honest can't see there being many people who would buy a ticket for a cup game and not go
