This also confirms that UR has less than 10,000 ST holders.
Does it? It says capacity is now at 15000 for the first three home games? Edit- I just saw they had "up to 10000 supporters at the preseason game" .. still could be they were close to 10000 capacity and the new 15000 has given them more wiggle room. Can't blame them for being cautious - they would be in a tricky situation of selling too many tickets if capacity wasn't increased - how would they decide who gets to go to the match, partial refunds.. after the past year I think thats a headache they would prefer to avoid.

Ah ha, I was still working on the premise they were trying to fill 10,000 for initial three games :thumleft:

15,466 official attendance for 18-13 win over Clermont In Nov 2019..... 15,000 won't see any further suffering financially from agate receipt point of view.

I think BR may be Mehole Martin grumps...... so many bad jokes you could have went with.

Anyway agree BR, official attendance and actual attendance two different things, official attendance includes the season tickets sold but not necessarily a bum on seat, the marketeers love it.

Well from my memory, for that game they must have added the presales and walk-up sales and then counted them as they went through the turnstiles and then counted them on the way out again, because that game was quiet.
