Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

Notwithstanding the figure reported last night (2699) from the video, photos, and comments, it must have been more than that. It looked like the best turn out for some time.

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

To be honest Exile i thought and said twas very similar to the Preston turn out,

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

Original quote from Outback Ozzy - ' Is the ghost of Eric Whalley counting the numbers of spectators again? I though well over 3,000 on tonight.

Got to agree with the above.
I called at the office on Monday to check about ticket availability for a pal who'd agreed to attend & was told there were 300 odd tickets left for the Clayton End.
As far as I'm aware, the Clayton End capacity is 1600.
Assuming no more tickets were sold in the next 24 hrs (highly unlikely!) it means that 50% of last night's gate was behind the Clayton End?????
When you consider the Coppice End was full & even the scratting shed was packed.
When there were no fewer than 8 - yes 8! WBA supporter's coaches parked on Livingstone Road, I think someone is telling a few porkies.

:) Carabao Cup Attendance at the Wham Stadium Att:-2699 Which includes 1297 Baggies fans :) Congratulations go to LongLostSon who guessed 2692 and is the nearest :) LongLostSon wins a signed team sheet and the match night Programme :) pm sent :) Result Stanley 1 -3 WBA :(

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

Assuming your figures are correct Lord S and Mab's figures of 1297 Baggies fans then that assumes only 90 people were in the Main stand. There was definitely more than that even excluding club officials. I fear as I originally said, there are ghosts amongst our club.

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

Preston fc cup tie Att;- 2879 Which includes 1736 PNE fans (1143 Stanley fans) WBA cup tie Att :- 2699 Which includes 1297 Baggies fans ( 1402 Stanley fans )

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

I was very suspicious of the declared figures, There were a lot more people in the ground. I would have guessed at 3500 at least.

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

WHAT!!!!!
There were 439 fewer WBA fans than the PNE supporters - do me favour!
The ground was much fuller for the Baggies game.
The only area with empty seats was our stand between hospitality & the Clayton End.
Methinks a bit of creative accountancy is afoot.

Re: V WBA Carabao Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

Which is where I normally sit, but when I asked for my usual seat I was sold one in a different block. If the ground capacity is 5000 then nearly everyone should have had an empty seat next to them.
