Just under 27,000 against Maidstone so we're led to believe which means there were almost t 6,000 empty seats
Really ?

1000 on the balcony

Most of the corporate side and the separation between the fans and the tickets not taken up in the family stand, easily 5,000

12 and 13 in the corner we closed
The blocks in the other corner by the away fans
There was an empty block in the posh stand
The blocks behind the dug out
Didn't look at the balcony so not sure how full that was
Then all the random seats dotted around

No way we're there 5000 empty seats .In fact given the capacity of the stadium it's nearer 6000 if the given crowd was correct.
That's the equivalent of the entire south stand empty. Nonsense.

You could be missing one in ten among the crowd and not notice it TBH. That’s 2.5k right there.

Does it really matter?
But could be that..... segregation was 1.8k, balcony 1k, corporate 1.6k and another 1k scattered around and mostly in the family stand.

They need to sort the main stand out.
They are obviously doing a decent effort with the South Stand and Block 13 but it looks ridiculous. That empty block directly in front of the cameras is annoying.
They have to offer a cheaper ticket in that stand. That new Balcony deal is hardly going to attract big numbers.

Main Stand looked awful, the sides were full but the middle and balcony was sparse, something needs to be sorted for next season if we stay in the Champ, far to many corporate seats
But they would still be counted if they bought a ticket, and by kick off you couldn't buy a ticket anywhere other than the family section.
Would have thought more advertising could have been sold on led screen around the whole ground?

Great to see the ground regularly almost full again. It used to be said we didn’t win when there was a”large crowd” Even last season in the championship in feb we was around 17k home attendances. Hopefully this increase continues for a long time.

That's a fantastic attendance for a Monday night game.
Just think back to the dark days of L1 and L2 with 7-8,000 knocking around the place and the club in freefall.
This may or may not be our season for the top 6 but we have to keep things in perspective (such as Friday night) as to how far we have progressed.
I would not have predicted any of this as we suffered home defeats to the likes of Newport in 2017 with Vincenti and Beavon leading the line.

I thought the main stand looked poor with all the empty seats. if you can’t sell them surely you could cover them up with a big club badge or something. It would look a bit better. If the corp seats aren’t selling, make a few available to local charities to rearward staff or do some fund raising. I know having upped the expectations in corporate they probably don’t want to dilute the experience by selling cheaper
Build it and they will come!

No idea the exact facts and figures but agree that we seem to have more corporate capacity than most at this level.
It's something we'd be grateful of if we get to the PL. Other clubs are building new stadiums or expanding just to have additional hospitality.
Probably the same as ST Andrews !I often wonder what goes on behind those net curtains

That picture ignores the main stand though which is where a majority of the empty seats were. This screenshot (shit quality I know) is from WLADITT just before kick off. Balcony is sparse, 3 blocks are closed (plus 12 and 13), and family zone isn't full. Can easily see it being 5000 empty seats in total.

It looks stupid, it's happening at a of our games, at least block 2 was full as isn't this partly reserved for players families and we always have empty seats. We should be looking to reduce the corporate seats and getting fans filling that stand

The whole of this stand needs a rethink . Apart from the 2 central blocks around the tunnel, it shouldnt be any more expensive than the opposite stand. The view isn't that great, as I witnessed last night. You can't see down the touchline, as it isnt as steep.
And maybe sell the end 2 or 3 sections of the Balcony as discounted corporate.

it just shows how far weve come under the messiah, that we get 27k on a Monday night for cup match vs a non league team.
Marvellous!
Marvellous!
Really good atmosphere as well. Didn’t really like the mocking chants (no need against non league but they did sing ‘championship having a laugh’) but mainly good banter between the two sets
Simms song a lot better and nice for Dasilva getting his song when he came on
Showed again when there’s good away support it brings out the best in ours

The "Maidstone get battered" chant was cringe.

In all fairness, that was taking the piss out of their 'Maidstone are massive...' chant. Felt like a fair cop.
