Passing on figures and 'adding' them together could prove very difficult at times.

Need to perceive the written word.
I wasn't there. the last game I attended was at Saints.
We could easily judge figures given out in the Boulevard years, some were ridiculously low.

In the Boulevard years was the best ever fantasy figures ever...albeit going the other way (downwards).

See my post above. I didn't keep a job for 16 years for "fiddling attendances". Believe what you want but I know for an absolute fact you are wrong.

No, not difficult at all. We let in x amount of people. We had x amount of money which tallied with the x amount of people coming through the turnstiles. We passed on the attendance figure (which tallied perfectly monetry wise) to the announcer who would announce it 5 mins before the end as happens now and I can say without certainty it always tallied. If you are saying that we the turnstile operators and cashiers were fiddling you are gravely mistaken and I resent the fact you are calling me (and others on here who also worked cashiering) liars.

If your right how come every att figure at Wembley includes the club Wembley ticket holders which is the whole middle tier of the stadium. eg CC final attendances usually around 75,000 When its obvious the ground is only half full

You've just accused the very people who used to let you in at the Boulevard fraudsters. And money is involved so yes I'm a tad touchy as you are indirectly accusing us of fraud. And where have I put words into other peoples mouths? You blatently come out and said the attendences are fiddled as pass holders are counted in. I said you were wrong, so what words have I put into your mouth???

I'm female. I can't speak for Wembley, I have never cashied there, but I can speak for the two rugby league clubs in this city, Leeds (rugby and cricket) and Hull City.

In his defence, I think he was accusing the club of giving out incorrect information, and not the turnstile operators of fraud. I don't think either scenario is likely, but I don't think there's a need to take personal offence.

It was me who used to give the attendance figures out. VoR says (in his opinion) they were "fiddled". Therefore is he not accusing me in a roundabout way of fiddling the figures to give out? I've already said that the announcement of the figures tallied correctly yet VoR doesn't accept this so either I am lying or he is wrong.

Dreary me.
Over the 30 plus years I attended the Boulevard, I applaud you for giving 100% accurate figures to Customs and Excise.
I unreservedly apologise for calling you a fraudster, a liar, a bum, a conman, a cad and most unforgiving of all, a closet KR fan.

| Most of us coming over tonight will be starting our journeys at 3.30 - then enduring the Mcr, Bradford & Leeds hold ups - so why on earth you dont play against Lancashire sides on a Sunday is beyond me. Friday nights are impossible for most.

Welcome to our world. Yourselves, Wigan, Saints (even Wire this year) are routine Friday night trips for the die hards on both sides of this city. I can tell you every accident black spot on a Friday, from Brough to Manchester.

And there was an accident on the M62/M63 last Sunday when both Hull teams were at home. Accidents happen on every day of the week. Anyway well done those Salford Supporters who come tonight welcome to our world.

So a second/third hand report from someone else who spent the whole match counting. Does it get more accurate than that?

Still nobody turns up when Sundays are done and Fridays are more lucrative with the corporate clients. This was shown last Sunday where the away crowd was about the same and half the corporate boxes and west stand were empty.
