One of the things I like to find out after a game is the attendance. Having been to Selhurst Park more times than I care to remember, I tend to look around at the match and have a guesstimate in my head, and then when I see the attendance figure later, I'm usually pretty close, within about a thousand.
Oddly, for the first time I can ever remember (for a senior football match), there was no attendance figure published anywhere for the Spurs home game - not in the Sunday papers, not on the BBC site, not anywhere that I could find!
My initial thought was oh well, it'll no doubt be on the statistics page in the next home programme, but then I looked in the programme and there isn't even a column for the attendance!
I suspect that the complications with people having tickets issued on phones, resent via emailed pdf;s and maybe reprinted again at the ground made counting the number of attendees a lot more complicated than usual, and getting a number is low on the priorities for the club/ticket office
I just thought it most odd, and that I always assumed providing an attendance figure was always some sort of league requirement? The attendance figures are historically interesting to track trends of support levels
For what it's worth, my guesstimate was 23,000!
