    23,009 is the official capacity of our ground. Today the crowd was given as 21,255. So someone tell me where the 1,754 empty spaces were when the club said we had less than a thousand left and on the day i could only see a couple of dozen empty seats.

    Capacity 21800 after allowing for empty rows for health and safety - as stated by a club official on Oakwell AM.

    Here you go again!

    They never said it would be a capacity crowd, they said that they were close to selling all available seats taking into account segregation etc.
    From where I was in East upper I could tell there was an empty block in West Upper, empty seats in our end in West lower. In the North Stand the first couple of rows were empty and the seats behind the stantions. Maybe someone who was sat in the Ponty could tell us if the block at the north side in East lower was kept empty.

    'capacity crowd' on the official website report. I thought capacity crowd means sell out....Obviously not i guess.

    No Just wondering how it can be called a capacity crowd if it wasn't a sell out.

    I Was.......

    simply asking a question that others around me were thinking today. My only point is how it can be called a capacity crowd when it wasn't. So sign back up to this site and use a guys name 'babe'. Did you go today ?

    I'm no lawyer, but '...I could only see a couple of dozen empty seats' sounds like an accusation to me.
