The usual definition of "selling out" as I understand it is that you have bums on every seat. Don't quite see how your response addresses that issue.

Not until this season though. Quite used to seeing around 19k there.
As I've already said, bragging about continually selling out a stadium is a bit pointless when it's as small as yours... Well, I say "yours"...
Last season 17 of 19 games were over 20k![]()
I'm not bragging about us selling out our stadium Baz, just providing the facts to prove your statements wrong![]()
The fact is, for whatever reason you want to give, you didn't sell out all your home tickets for what was just your 8th (?) home PL game, and this with you being the almighty Capital of sleeping giants as well![]()
Interestingly, it was also your first home game against what might be described as an also ran PL team (bar arguably Newcastle).
So when was the Wigan game when you only sold 19000 ?
Wasn't it your 1st home game in the Prem ?
That was the year before when for that season the away end wasn't configured to reduce the away capacity depending on away tickets required. The following summer it was changed so the away club can request either 1,000 or 2,000. If they take the lower allocation, the segregation is changed so the other 1,000 tickets go on sale to home fans.
Hope this clears things up for you
So the ground wasn't sold out.
Well deduced. The home section was though.
So, you didn't sell out, just like we did. But unlike us you couldn't sell the spare seats because your ground was sh1t (or more technically 'not geared up for it')
Now when things are the same for both clubs you still don't sell out (Stoke/Hull) . Let's not forget we have 35% more capacity.
But of course this mysterious 8000 waiting list will fill your ground (I'd be interested to see some proof of this linked) ? But where were they for Hull and Stoke ?
I'm sure there will be a few more games not selling out next year and you can happily take the p1ss out of us not selling out a 33500 capacity ground while you get 19k in your 21k ground.![]()
I think when it comes to taking the micky out of attendances you are on shitty ground.

You lot need to get your stories straight. Is it:
1 - Shit ticketing system failing to sell unoccupied seats
2 - Season ticket holders not turning up
Make up your minds!

I thought that was meant to be going on this season? Or are they re-evaluating the amount of season tickets sold for next season to see if the expansion is done? Seems to me that the buzz is waring off for you lot. I really can't see you filling 28,000 against stoke etc. my opinion.

When it was raining I agree there must have been many watching in the concourse as there were many more empty seats.
Stop your bullshit and blaming the club about not selling the seats ffs as ther are empty seats every home game as there was against man c as I watched it.
Now I know not every season ticket can make every game but hundreds? Come on.
And stop trying to blame away fans not selling out as the days of keeping 1big section of a ground just for away fans has gone and clubs know how many tickets away clubs have weeks in advance in order to sell empty seats.
Even annis has posted in another thred on who is bringing what and allocation for the next few away games.
