Re: Dewsbury - Semi Final : Thu Sep 22, 2016 12:36 pm  
But there are times when something odd IS going on. Our announced crowd at Batley for example was silly, and was subsequently revised upward. Even the revised figure was curiously low. The accompanying explanation from Batley basically amounted to "We lost count, probably over a 1000, dunno really".

You could be forgiven for questioning whether that's all a result of ineptitude or cunning.

Didn't see Diskin last weekend? If the u19's season is over, do you think we've let him go already?

Diskin has left the club I think - I'm pretty sure I read on the club website that his last game was the last academy game

All part of a weird phenomenon. The main symptoms include a genetic ability to "know" what the size of a crowd is, just by looking at it. The innately divined attendance is invariably much less than any figure published, unless a case needs to be made for a tax fiddle, in which case there were obviously many more there than officially claimed.

A good frequent example of this is the figure for how many "own fans" were in attendance, where the published figures are perversely always several factors less than the thousands who actually attended. However the reason for that is not financial, but to disparage and do down the travelling hordes. Obvs.

:D

Very true, FA.

One thing I will say is that it is much easier to guess the crowd in an all seater stadium, where the stand capacities are known, than in a standing area where crowd density makes it very difficult to make any kind of estimate.

Didn't we once have a stand-off back in the day .. Gascoigne or something. Are we saving him for the Final?

That ship has long sailed... never see him in any of the pre-match training videos either!
