Quote ="Prince Buster"The point with all this is that we are beating ourselves up about or crowds, and rightly so. However I also think other clubs are suffering from poor crowds but mask the figure by creative counting. I am not picking on celtic for any other reason other than their crowds are so small its far easier to see that they appear to be inflated.
Remember in a couple of years crowd figures will be focused upon at franchise time. Will we be shooting ourselves in the foot by giving a true gate or should we do what some others do ?'"
What would we gain from inflating crowd figures?
A bigger tax bill for one. Then we need to contact the people at Newport to ensure we don't let them tell people we only have 800 there for that game.
I tell you what mate, sky plus it and count them yourself. I'll be the one with the 'I can't believe some s counting us' look on his face.
