I suspect lots of season ticket holders left empty seats but they would have been counted.
The front row of the Origin stand is heavily restricted by the dugouts and if they didn’t sell yesterday then I suspect never will which should indicate they are no longer part of full capacity.
I didn’t get a chance to look yesterday as I’m away but I understand the only tickets left were accessible tickets and about 15, indicating our real capacity is 9350, more than enough in Lge One.
When we have big crowds of 8000 plus we never seem to capitalise, play well, win and draw the occasionals in to regulars.
Lots to play for though and we are still well in the hunt.
There were plenty of empty seats around me in the family stand but quite a few of the old fellas get extra seats for imaginary kids so they don’t have to sit next to anyone. There are two seat next to ours that are never taken yet we can’t book them for guests nor for 2 more STs.
BBC has 9333 which is what I am using. The restricted view seats in the Origin stand looked to be all sold on the website - but people who buy those seats have an option to stand on the rail, which would explain those empty seats. Working on the outcome tables now - did anyone note down the number of Wrexham fans, I know it was a bit over 1800.
Many congratulations to @James, closest and a miss by just 19, the title of Forecaster of the Week is yours. We now know roughly what our 'Not on Sky' capacity crowd actually is.
Thanks to all who took part. The three scores in yellow came after the Sell Out was declared and so appear here but won't count in the 'Tour de Season' Competetion.
Top Twenty for the Away Crowd: [1816]
Many congratulations to @DevC and myself who were closest - missing the slightly more knowable away sell out attendance by just two.

Strangely The Sunday Times has the attendance as 8,438. Wonder if that is actual through the turnstiles?

Many congratulations to @James who was closest and closer still on this measure than with the total crowd.
Congratulations to @mwite, @tewkesburychairboy and @Mandown who were all within one hundred.
It was the same number as they gave as being at Rotherham yesterday, just a typo I should think
