We actually contacted the Football League about this a few years ago.  We were told they were quite happy for clubs to use whatever system they wanted to announce attendances.  We have season tickets at two different clubs, Vale announce bums on seats the other announces tickets sold.  We are frequently counted in two different attendances on the same day!

I wonder what Sponsors/Advertisement dealers feel about this or even the contracted companies that sell beer/pies. Basically they are being lied to about potential custom which in itself should be enough to enforce the declaration of the true attendance.

Don't they have to pay Vat on the attendance so if you say your crowd is 15,000 but there is only 10,000 why claim the higher figure and pay vat also match days is extra and cash only.
Whether you just count the people who actually attend or all tickets sold the figure will be the same for tax purposes

VAT accounting is based on actual sales. You can say there were 100,000 there in the Sentinel but the accounts must reflect reality. 

I tried, for the sake of it because I take an interest in Scottish football as a Montrose supporter (I've been to one game and adopted them for life), to see how we fair attendance wise. We are about equal with Dundee (5000+) in attendances presently but a bit behind Dundee United (7000+). So that is middle of the Scottish Premiership. However, its sobering to reflect we above some famous Scottish clubs like Motherwell and St Mirren. The miracle club of the moment is Arbroath up there. Top of the Championship and got their attendances up to about 1300. Out performing famous clubs like Dunfermline, Kilmarnock and Partick.

So Salford 100,  Vale 5500 less mid-week drop  4800 , total 4900 ?

Last home game on a Tuesday night was when we were flying high in 3rd, against rivals Walsall. We got 4700 home fans. 

Given it's the third home game in 10 days in a tight month financially for many, off the back of a poor performance at the weekend... the crowd might be sub 4500 including the usual minibus load from Salford.
