Last nights attendance !

[strummer]

I know the players were on to it too mate,I saw Sharpy interviewed a while ago and they were on a bonus if the attendance was above a certain level,apparently the players were never out of the secretary Jim Greenwoods office querying the figureslol

It says a lot that mate.win bonuses were all important as was starting games.playets used to play game after game without getting injured it seemed. Did they hide injuries because they needed the money ?

I'm amazed it was more than 20,000, it didn't look half full from the Park End.
All Evertonians are daft ... and special.



There were a few people in Lower Bullens away but I'm not convinced they were Krasnodar fans. There were more stewards than fans in that bit. The ones in the Main Stand were having an absolute ball !

Auto cup scheme might have something to do with the official attendance supposedly reaching 20,000, was no way half full.

 

[bizzaro]

20,260 ! Not bad considering
A) a dead rubber anyway
B) live on ITV
C) weather
D) near to Christmas and a packed fixture list.

Well done all that could make it !

The weather was ridiculous. If you're traveling over 30 miles or have kids with you that will factor in.

Plus it was on tv and we'd qualified. A perfectly understandable cause

I went because it was on £12 and I enjoy watching an Everton game with nothing riding on it because you can relax and try and enjoy it.

 

[James Patrick]

Not a bad attendance for a dead rubber, [Poor language removed] time of year money wise, live on tv, largely second string and kids. Seen some reds dishing out stick when they only managed 25k v Steua Bucharest in an opening group game a few years back.

 

[paultheblue]

They blatantly "amended" the gates when there was standing areas,used to be guffaws of laughter at certain games when the attendance used to flash up on the old Park End Scoreboardlol

One that really stood out for me was a league cup game against west brom early 80s when they put out 23,000 , you couldn't move in the street end there was nearer to 40,000 than 23,000.
In those days the night games were particularly dodgy gates.

Aye, fair point, I'm never sure if we quote "tickets sold" or "bums on seats" when we give an attendance at Goodison. I'd always assumed it was the latter, but what you say makes a lot of sense.

Everton have well missed a trick here. Rather than selling wolfsburg and lille at £33 then krasnador at 12 quid would have been much better selling a 3 match package for £60-£70 and ensured that all 3 games were sold out.

Fair enough they didnt realise krasnador would be a dead rubber but think the pricing was too high for lille and wolfsburg anyway

couldve had opposite effect, I couldnt go to lille at home so theres no way I'd have knocked £200 ish notes for me and the kids, in fact I wouldnt if I COULD have made all 3 games.

Fella in front of me travelled up from Notts with 3 kids. I only get home at 11 as well with mine.



I noticed a hell of a lot in the fam enc weren't there, and other games as well. Maybe if they analyse the crowd from the other night regarding season ticket holders the thatll sort out the allocation for the final.

Disagree to be honest mate. Unless the Upper Gwladys was entirely empty (the only bit of the ground I couldn't see) the attendance was EASILY 50%

I was actually discussing a similar situation yesterday. Throughout the 1980's the attendances were notoriously incorrect by huge margins.

You couldn't move in the Street End, standing shoulder to shoulder, and they'd announce an attendance in the early twenties. Cue laugher.

The attendance in the stand itself was probably only a few thousand short of what they announced for the entire stadium.

Yeah fair enough- didnt mean instead of offering tickets for sale on a match by match basis rather discouting the 3 lots of tickets for people that knew they could attend all 3

the 1st 2 games shouldn't have been more expensive than a prem match in the first place.
