    19,420 & 15,035??

    If their capacities are both around 23,500, then they both being fraudulent as there were never that many at either match and I'd be extremely surprised if there were more than 6,000 there last night and 12,000 on saturday.

    There must have been 5 spaces for every fan last night.

    No wonder we have such low attendances in comparison if they count every ST holder every match, are they fiddling the books in case there's a 2nd prem and they can wave their gate figures at someone for entry?

    We may have low attendances at Oakwell, but at least they're believable.

    Coventry holds 32000 and if anything shouldnt the clubs say there are less people in the ground to be fraudulent that way keeping the extra revenue to themselves

    Sure they could find a way of covering donations or the like through the turnstyles. Still don't think it's right.
