    read that somewhere else, maybe the blackpool fan report that there looked to be more in the ground

    maybe BFC want to play down how much of a success cheap tickets were.

    I have no idea as i wasn't at the game

    Looked about right to me and I was at the ground which has a capacity of 2300 not 24000 so there were actually less than 9000 empty seats

    North stand looked just under half full = 3300
    West stand half shut other half 3/4 full? bit hard to really tell as I was sitting in it but it definitely had space = 2700 spare seats so thats 6000 of the 9000 before you look at the Ponty and East I can easily believe there were 3000 empty seats in those 2 stands combined

    Lot empty darn front of Ponty and up West Stand side of Ponty, away end were similar. The highlights give a good picture of empty seats.
