Announcement of attendance

[Jackfath]

Do you clap when this is announced? If so, why?

No i don’t.

Personally no, but used to remember the laughter at the Vetch when the ground was half full and the announcement came over the tannoy... "today's attendance is 2,301 :lol:

 

[STID2017]

I used to find it sad when we were in the Premiership and proudly announcing attendances way under capacity.
In answer to your question, no I don't

 

[sainthelens]

Why announce it at all, who actually cares ?

The taxman

The taxman

I'm not sure that HMRC send people to the games to record the actual attendance mind :lol:

To the OP question - I don't think anyone pays attention these days largely as the number is always higher than the number of people in the ground - either that or the stadium capacity has grown somewhat!

That was mainly to away fans not selling out..

Do people clap the announcement then? I can't say I've noticed it at all.

Yes, yes they do. Every game. The psychology behind it is fascinating.

I was alluding more to the cash days of the vetch. Though you never know with HMRC these days

Ah but at the Vetch it was tax offset against a dodgy fax machine. :lol:

Not many clapping when they announced it on Saturday, so I'm told.

And not being able to sell single seats. I failed to get 2 tickets together for me and my son several times, they offered me two singles but he was too young to be on his own.

I can’t imagine us being the only ones in that position

I wonder how many people clap when they see they've spent £76.53 in Tescos, or manage to put exactly £15 worth of petrol in their car.
