I was told there were lots of empty seats on the Shoreham Street end and I think season tickets are counted whether the seat is taken up or not. Can anybody confirm this?

I was told there were lots of empty seats on the Shoreham Street end and I think season tickets are counted whether the seat is taken up or not. Can anybody confirm this? Had to look it up but it is "usual practice" in England to count season tickets whether they turn up or not.You learn something every day. I think the Blades have around 12,000 season ticket holders so a 10% no show would take Saturdays attendance down to 19000. ---------- Post added 08-02-2016 at 18:18 ---------- no idea but its 20,000 sold seast for a league one club that even many championship sides cant compare to and would love support like that 3rd highest outside of the prem on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpmorris Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 This 20,000 Supporters figure that gets bandied about seems a little strange to me as the average for League One Games is nearly bang on 20,000 but do the away teams never bring any support?

It is quite impressive, but if your paying thrupence ha'penny a ticket or getting in on children's/students tickets, its a better shot than sitting in the Peace Gardens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
