Jesus. Worse than the Emptihad.

Looks pretty empty that stadium

So it's the Emptirates then ? 

[rebel23]

West Brom are pretty pathetic

[HighSix]

Really dont get the time wasting from West Brom when behind.

Also dont get the Arsenal fans booing West Brom time wasting when they themselves are ahead.

Odd all round.

Official numbers;

Like Arsenal tonight and city most weeks. Can the owners simply buy any tickets not sold to count towards financial fair play?

Would explain citys expansion even though they don't sell out.

The tickets were sold, just people didn't turn up. Almost all of the seats you can see on TV are season ticket seats. The non-st seats are on the right of the tv cameras, upper and lower tiers, and in the upper tier in the middle in certain sections (although they are most st seats). Both wings, and behind the goal on the lower tier are st only, and upper to the left of the tv is st only too.

Okay cheers but this doesn't answer the city question

Utd did the same yesterday

[TheShanklyGates]

Yep, these clubs are reporting ticket sales rather than actual people through the turnstiles it seems.

That reporting makes sense for their financial reporting, but who the hell do they think they are kidding when they try to claim it is representative of the real attendance when there are vast swathes of empty seats.

[moondog]

If there was a fire drill how would they know how many people to account for? Surely the attendance is how many bums on seats.
