    Yeah, right.
    I know how they do it so don't go on at me but you've got to admit it's laughable.

    Well I was officially there, even though there is no way I can make midweek home games.

    If it's a paid for seat it should be counted.

    We don't report attendances to HMRC. They don't send a form out asking how many people were at games.

    We report the income.

    You only have to google it to find out why clubs do it, theres a number of reasons. Read the BBC one from 2018.

    I was officially at home last night, wine and beer in hand, but I was also officially part of the 12000 at Oakwell.
    I saw my official empty seat a few times.

    Income and attendance are different words with different meanings. They do it to inflate their figures in order to mislead potential advertiser's. That's the sole reason and it's wrong.

    its income from a sold seat so that sold seat is included in the attendance.

    It's alright, nobodies died. We'll be moaning about the town centre redevelopment again on here once the season ends.

    But if somebody did, they'd still officially attend every remaining home game.

    But it isn't the attendance and to be honest you know it isn't because you're an intelligent bloke. Justifying why they lie is one thing, pretending it isn't a lie though is just daft.

    I'm thinking about skipping the next home game, killing somebody and having a cast iron alibi. Not only was I at a football match proven backed up by Barnsley football club but 12000 people must have seen me there unless they're blind.

    On the plus side of loads of season ticket holders staying at home I didn’t have to spend all half time queueing for my bovril
