Why was it 28,434 when there were several reports prior to the game that it was sold out? I thought the new capacity was just over 29, 600. |  | | |  |

The seating under the away fans was empty (approx 500 seats).
I do think the club need to address this. We used to give V1, V2 (upper) and the Cobbold lower under them which worked fine.
This year we've gone ahead and given V1, V2, E block in upper and not giving the lower tier to anyone.
V1, 2 and the corresponding lower tier is more than enough for 20/23 visiting teams.
I expect, when the time comes and Cobbold is expanded (yes I am getting ahead of myself) that the back of house setup will allow for expandable and retractable away sections depending on demand. |  | | |

You do know that they only count the number of people who actually come through the turnstiles don’t you? Therefore if ST holders don’t go to the game for whatever reason then they don’t get counted |  |

There were a couple of swathes of empty seats either side of SAR upper, not many but I wondered why they were grouped together like that if it was down to rail problems or something else? |  |

Could it have been freebies that were given to a local club/school and they couldn’t make it? | |

I thought they always counted the ST holders whether they're there or not, MK Dons being an example....or another being under MM when our gates were 16k yet never that amount in the ground at the time... |  | | |

Those reports were just from fans on Twitter and fb claiming it was sold out, nothing official from the club. I guess the lower Cobbold under away fans is what, 300 or 400? Leaving about 800 or 900 elsewhere in the ground empty. Hard to see on iFollow where those empty seats were |  |

There were quite a few empty seats, spread around the ground. Suspect ST holders who could not get to the game for whatever reason. Travel an issue for some. | | | |

That's not the case. Season ticket holders do get counted even if they're not there. It's tickets sold rather than actual people in the ground. |  | | |

Couldn't see from where I sit but assume there were a swathe of seats between the home fans and away support, probably more than against most clubs as Portsmouth is the highest risk game in the division for trouble. | | | |

Completely untrue. I do wonder why people with clearly no knowledge on the subject talk with such authority. | | | |

That can't be true, they used to announce 16 k under mick when there were barely 10 in the ground. |  |

I know it was "only" on Twitter, but Andy Warren reported club website as only having 17 tickets available for sale |  | | |

In the modern era of digital tickets, you'd have thought they could count them properly
I imagine they're happy to up the numbers for sponsorship reasons |  |

If you went onto the club ticket site there were no available tickets after about 11am, before I left from home at 9am there were 21 seats left showing on the website so yeah it was sold out and the club website actually said so | |
