    If so reasons why?

    Only 4,100 in a 7,500 stand. According to the attendance

    The east stand had far more than 4100 spectators in it. Interesting accounting!

    Think the club seriously under estimated the attendance big style.

    First home game on the back of last season's heroics, it was bound to attract more than a low key league cup first round match would have done in any other season IMO

    Perhaps they didn't count all those who paid cash. I handed over my money and didn't get a ticket (ESL). Maybe something went wrong with the counting there?

    I would assume the taxman was short changed too

    I hate when that happens! You can always guarantee that the announced attendance is much lower than you'd expect.
