Tickets sold != attendance.
Midweek home games at the Lane were always on general sale. I still think personally after the initial excitement wears of at the new stadium we will struggle to fill it unless we're fighting for the title.
Do West ham struggle on a Wednesday night against their relegation rivals?
Do man United and Newcastle get half empty stadiums for midweek PL games?
What are Arsenal attendances like in similar games?
All genuine questions I don't know the answers to.
I realise that is what people think but the official site article I revered to stated Attendance 55,124, so why put it down as that and not tickets sold. Having already announced the attendance @ 46K.
I'm not disagreeing, I'm just trying to understand how the club can give 2 differing figures.
Wembley = soulless dump that's a shit to get home from, simple.
I left at the final whistle and was home within the hour.
Sorry, but if everyone else can tell their story I will too

It's in the club's best interest to massage the figures.

You have to remember for tax puposes the club has to have the attendance as tickets sold not how many turned up in their figures.
Well ... I mean, I don't doubt that official attendance is actual head count. However, I'm sure the club must prove for auditing purposes a correlation between income and sold tickets. Otherwise, you could potentially launder some cash by selling 5.000 tickets to a friendly and saying that you had an income of 50 millionsSorry, this is incorrect.
Tax paid (relief) is paid on the profit (loss) not tickets sold.
We could have 100k there paying nothing or one bloke there paying £4m for a ticket.
Tax man just interested in the financials.
