That is a complete contradiction, how can they state that the 'attendance figures' can be anything other than those who actually ATTEND.

If they want to do that they should call it the seats sold figure, not attendance figure. :rolleyes:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

I agree Jim.

I had a brief trawl through the Premier League handbook and couldn't find the rule that the article refers to, indeed I did find "Form 11" Which clubs have to complete after each fixture. That requires them to report to the PL the number of tickets sold AND the actual number attending.

I guess the important bit is PUBLICLY....

Can't say we've ever had that problem in Newcastle. Not to blow our own trumpet.

Think we all but sealed our premier league survival yesterday. Hopefully that will allow Staveley to push ahead with a takeover in May or it remains to be seen if other parties want to take a pop at it. Can't see Benitez signing on again without the takeover. He'll run his last year out next season.

It would be sad to see Rafa go after next season if that is the case as they might not get a manager thereafter of his calibre.

Love him or loath him, that was a worldie from CR7.:shocked: :clap:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Just dragging the topic back. It made me wonder how we totted up attendance figures back before the now common standard of scanned ticket turnstiles. I just came up with the assumption that they'd use counters and then the turnstile would report their numbers through to the head guy and add them all up? :erm:

A truly magnificent goal from truly one of the greats :clap: but the constant cheating , playacting and simulation last night was depressing to see from so called professional footballers.:(:td:

:( I saw him at Old Trafford a few times, in fact he played more games for The Reds than he did for Chelsea.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Think it's latter stints at Chelsea in a coaching capacity which coincided with his push into punditry. I say this because up until your post I had no idea he'd played for United :dunce:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

He also played for the illustrious Rossoneri and Glasgow Rangers so he certainly played for some massive clubs.

This is the second time in recent history that the scouse thickheads have behaved like this. Kick the team out may be the only way to get them to behave. Morons. :mad:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Sadly the hooligan element has never disappeared Jim and unless there is a strong deterrent they will continue to do these type of despicable things.:(:td:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Liverpool to win the whole thing. What a story. I don't doubt City's ability to rack up 3 away goals in quick time here though. If they can keep City at nil they're laughing, a goal at the Ethiad would end it.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Long way to go IMO as things have a habit of coming off the track at times as was witnessed against Seville.
