Crowds at Bradford.

[Peter Venkman]

So how do they avoid ST holders from being counted twice?

Its all electronic now scanning bar codes etc but in my day we had dedicated season ticket holder turnstyles in each stand.

And the reason Bradford's crowds are relatively big is that it only costs a couple of coloured beads to get in.

As an aside - apparently some mouthy Pox fans got their Beemer transformed into a Lada on Saturday

Every club has to have 3 figures for every game, 1 for the amount of tickets sold ( official attendance ) , 1 for the amount sold without season tickets ( for the tax man as the tax has already been paid on ST ) & 1 that has the total amount of people through the turnstile ( for the health & safety/ fire safety issues )

Remember the good old days of cash at the gate - then once in the ground you could tell fairly accurately what the attendance once and the nod and a wink when the 'official figure' was given at around 2000 less than everyone knew was the real figure.

Now, I wonder where all that cash ended up!

Heh heh, them was the days. As I've said before, the 32k record attendance was much, much more. It was absolutely, Kop-swayingly packed even on the Shrivvy terrace where I was.

And did anyone else go to the old Wembley for England games / cup finals with a handful of notes? Those big turnstyles easily let 2 in at a time...and the gateman wasn't too proud to help you in once he saw the colour of your money. Had to wave notes at the 2nd guy who let you on the terrace though. They must have made a fortune.
