the post makes very serious allegations against the club, it is at best uneducated and could cause all kinds of trouble, if anyone is in any doubt as to the suitability of our monitoring equipment then please raise your concerns with me and i will be happy to show you our system.

Ok, does the new system count all bodies coming through the turnstiles or just paying supporters. The attendance figure given does it include everyone in the ground, season ticket holders, sponsers etc. Does the system tell you if a certain area of the ground is full because if it does then it doesn't work very good as you found out last night when too many people where admitted to the seating area and you had to offer them their money back or go and stand in the rain.
