Could be a decent atmosphere if this is true. It's not going to happen. Huddersfield have only 2,000 tickets left due to the high number of ST holders. The problem is so many of them do not always turn up. Also the away end holds around 4,000 and we will take no more than 2500 I reckon crowd will be around 16,000 at best judging by their crowds so far this season. Their best crowd this season was 16,200 against Leicester and on Sunday against Scunny the crowd was 15,200 Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics4lifenotjustxmas Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There could be a lot of congestion around the ground on Saturday. Might be an idea to take this, I spotted it in Aldi, Galpharm Decongestant Spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris164 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Paul, Am I right in thinking that clubs include their season ticket holders in the official attendance number, regardless of whether they turn up or not. We (HTFC) don't, hence we have lower attendances than Seaon Ticket holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellys_discopants Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Harrys Green Shirt is right, if you see there OS it says 2,000 tickets left ... and then afew lines up it explains that a high amount of ST were sold in the summer. 2000 seats and 2000 tickets left are different things.

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Paul, Am I right in thinking that clubs include their season ticket holders in the official attendance number, regardless of whether they turn up or not. No official attandances are those people only entering through the turnstiles. i.e. in attendance. So if a ST holder does not turn up, they do not count on the figures. During our 1st year in the premier league (well actually it was the season before the premier started, but you get the gist) we had 11,000 ST holders. However an average nearly 500 did not turn up each game. It sets tongues wagging because on all ticket games people were asking why we were not at capacity when we had "sold out." Uni*ed sell out OT every home game, yet look at the variation in attendances it can be several hundred; and they run a scheme where they will re-sell the seat (for a fee of course) if a ST holder cannot attend. Its different for cup games of course where it is all pay (not that that applies at OT unless it is for the Carling cup.

opinions4u Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) There's a whole stand available for pay on the day (for home fans, or visiting supporters who can wear plain clothes and keep their gobs shut as Hughsey slots home his third). http://www.htafc.com/page/TicketsNewsDetai...1503247,00.html The 2,000 tickets remain in the other stands.

Roger Ritchie Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Huddersfield sold 16,000 ST if I remember rightly. People probably just bought them for the Leeds game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People probably just bought them for the Leeds game People bought them just for the cheapness, somewhere to escape to if there team arent at home, a mate of mine whos a Burnley fan got one with his family, so when there away they`ll go to Hudds.

I hope that Taggart's lot are paying the VAT twice on that basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 this will be hudders biggest attendance, if not ill eat my pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrice Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Leicester brought 2400 in a crowd of 16000+ when Town were near the bottom. I think this will be beaten on Sat due to the upturn in form, and similar away support. Out of the 16000 tickets sold an average of 4000 a game have failed to show. So, for the amount of money this has cost the club, it has put about 2-3000 on the attendance. I would expect 12-13000 for Saturdays game given the same circumstances if everyone payed full price. Thy would have been better asking maybe £150 and selling maybe 11000 - 12000 who would turn up. Clubs can either record the STs or not. Bradford City include all season tickets in their attendance whether they turn up or not. Last season they were getting less than 10000 for some games but still publishing 13000 every game. Personally I am pleased we dont as it looks pretty silly if they announce a clearly inflated attendance to rows of empty seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
