I was a little curious that Norster has stated we've had crowds in excess of the CAP capacity at least 5 times this season already.
CAP capacity is a smidge over or under 13,500 isn't it?

I just wonder what the capacities for each match have ACTUALLY been registered as?
AND......
......more importantly.....
How many freebies have actually been given away to make the numbers look better?

If Cardiff Blues are telling porkies as we all know they are, then they are merely putting off the day of reckoning.

Either they genuinely are getting increased attendances in which case we can look forward to substantial investment in the playing squad, or they are telling fibs in which case we'll continue the present policy of signing bargain basement players, I guess all will become clear by August 2010.

The club has admited that actual attendances are between 65% and 75% of the quoted figure. In line with the figures quoted by some of us. The club cheats by including ALL tickets issued whether or not the holder of the ticket attends or not. The clubs points out that; "everybody's doing it so it does not matter".

The City do it too - show B'Lose are merely fitting in with their Masters.

Of course, whilst from an accounting point of view. A ticket SOLD is cash in the till, the worry must be the number of tickets SOLD that are not being used. if these are season tickets you must ask the question Will these people renew if they used their season ticket two or three times this season. If that is the case the long term worry is lower revenue.
