Attendance Tonight

[Steve Bee]

Segregation is mental. A wall type structure like West Ham have just put up, or a copper/steward on every seat with a spare seat or 2 between would suffice. I know it's only for 1 or 2 games every 2-3 years when we sell out, but it just looks a bit crap the frayed, knackered old netting doesn't it.

It's the concourse and exits that are the problem though that bit of police style red and white ribbon does the frock in the East stand generally. Oh, and the pictures style rope thing at the bottom of the terrace.

I few bars of soap should be enough to scare the mackems away

Segregation seems excessive compared what we used to have.

If course moving the away fans into the corner has meant we need 2 blocks of segregation rather than 1

Plus taking seats out for a screen, how amateurish was that, together with ripping out seats for the new media area. Barmy.

I wonder what the extra policing cost , I’ve never seen them running about with a video camera before .

 

[Maccarone]

What was the reported attendance please

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

What was the reported attendance please

30,391

 

[Air Resistance]

We used to have 35000.
We now have 31000 available.
We lost a few hundred with the big screen and the TV gantry.
The level of segregation is ridiculous.
We added 5k in 98 and now have lost most of them!

We have close to 33k available even with segregation. If that was minimised there’s probably atleast another thousand

I'm not sure; a lot of fans have been complaining about too many empty seats for a while, so it made sense to rip some out

Never makes sense to reduce capacity. Reduce your capacity reduce your aspirations.

Sunderland don’t get any extra points for attendances, and neither do we.

 

[Maccarone]

Fantastic turn out, well done everyone, amazing support.
Blackpool here we come

I think what was good about the attendance was the fact it was genuine boro fans . It was only Sunderland so no glory fans turning up for manu game. The sellout possibility is always there , hey few good results together and wel pull that extra few thousand in . We are not that far away .

We were only 6 or 700 away from a 'sellout'.
