I guess the argument comes down should it be number of tickets sold for a game, or should it be number of tickets used to actually see the game.
So in todays game 5711 actual tickets were sold, but only 4500 approx were used to see the game.
the word attendance to me means how many actually attended, So it comes down to wording.

Blimey, the thing is Brent will know exactly how many were there and you can bet your bottom dollar - he's not going to be happy!!
What rubbish. You have to count who enters the ground and thats it. Who on earth came up with this new idea?? So if the ground was completly empty for the next home match cause everyone protested about the state of things wed till declare an attendance of at least 4500. You couldnt make it up.
Crazy but explains why we've all felt there were less in the ground than the official "attendance" this season.

Well although I've only seen the first 4 home games this season, I was always sure there looked less than quoted - I would love to see the 'real' attendances, bet that 8,000 break even figure is looking even more rediculous!!

The false figure given out though won't be fooling the boardroom into believing Argyle under Fletcher is popular. They'll also be aware of the true number of 'attendees' and will know full well the number of season ticket holders who are voting with their feet each game.
Far from giving false comfort, the gate figures will still alarm the bean counters.

In April/May 2012 our attendances were between 8k/9k
The general consensus appears to be yesterdays attendance was half that number
Even if there were 5.7k in the ground that is still a big drop in 6 months
I know many regulars (and that is regulars for decades - and who endured the days when we were down to 2.5k/4.5k - who have been staying away during the past month or so because they are so "fed up" with what is happening on the pitch
"Houston - we have a problem"

Earth calling James Brent, come in James Brent. We need you to sack the manager to save the situation
What Planet is JB on if he cannot see what is wrong
Still think the onkly logical reason for sticking with FLETCHER is that JB wants us to be a NON LEAGUE chicken poo outfit and RELEGATION is his objective.
Hopefully my conspiracy theory is wrong and there will be a club statement on Monday but I wouldn't put a fiver on it

You'd like to think that Argyle would record actual attendance figures as well as the 'official' ones.

This is very simple - the club know the figures for every home game, 'bums on seats' gates only please.
If all season tickets sold are being counted for every match, why are they bothering scanning the cards, what is the point?
So when it's obvious to everyone that there's less then 3000 in the ground - yes it will happen with the present setup - we will still say there's 5000 + lol
Ohhh another very important point - IMHO - if there's a fire at the ground (god forbid) the Fire Brigade will need to know the exact number of people inside the ground!! Are they going to risk their lives looking for the missing supporters, who are at home sat watching the TV???
