They need to reword it. It's fraudulent and an out-and-out lie. It's ticket sales and we're not quite as daft as we look.

I thought it was about right.

6,500 down on capacity makes attendance about 2/3 rds of the Liberty ... that looked about right.


I tend to look at the empty seats, rather than the full ones. I would say there was about 6,500 empty. So about 14,500 in attendance today.

It’s not going to affect my life in any way but it would be interesting to know what the ‘attendance’ actually is.

Or just not announce it at all. Not as if anyone really cares.


The team down the road do, or at least the one person being three on here.

OK I've changed it.

Very decent considering the absolute dross served up of late.

Course we do, obsessively. It’s more important than the result 😂

Guess it depends on whether the club(& all the others) see it as announcing the tickets sold or bums on seats.


Doug Sharpe used to downplay attendances not to pay so much tax.

Some of our attendance announcements in Dougie’s time were greeted with laughter.

Every club does it which doesn't make it right. Technically you are correct, it's a lie but not an important one. They can't announce a bigger crowd than tickets sold or the tax man might start looking.

In the vast scheme of what's going on at SCFC now, is this really the battle to choose to fight?

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Didn't there used to be a dodgy turnstile at the Vetch allegedly ? Opened it for the Iceland game I think and people were late getting in along with the floodlight failure.

'A' dodgy turnstile????
When the capacity was 32,000 I've been in a crush on the part of the North Bank and looking a full East, West and South and the attendance was reported as 5,400!

I often wonder why people clap when it's announced.


😂 A good point well made!

There used to be a lot more dodgy turnstyles than that, half the North bank turnstyles were dodgy and some gatemen made a nice bit on top. Some of the turnstyles were so knackered if you didn't press the pedal and someone gave them a hard enough shove they would get through.
Doug Sharpe brought in spies (people who worked for his buidling company) to watch the gates to try and catch the gatemen skimming.
In my years of working the gate down the Vetch my money rarely matched my gate reading. They used to regularly accuse us of stealing though never went further than accusations usually, a few did get sacked along the way and it all reached a head one day when the gatemen had a meeting and made a complaint about our safety because our doors didn't shut let alone lock. Robin Sharpe said send your reps up for a chat, we sent 3 up and they hardly got through the door before Robin said you're sacked, get out. Half of us walked out with them, the others bottled it and opened up, a few of them were working down the Liberty fairly recently.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?
