As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Already a Sunderland thread and this topic has been discussed on numerous match threads. Merged.

In this case it is an even bigger lie than normal..Counting unused season tickets as sold seats isn't a correct measure of the actual attendance but it isn't uncommon either.
However last night there were thousands of empty seats after tickets had gone on general sale..Surely general sale cannot come from season tickets , it has to come from poor uptake from silver and red members..So it begs the question of how the club can come up with an attendance figure of 59,510..?
also announced on club website on Tuesday afternoon it was sold out, what happened with the 500+ other seats
