Can I ask. We had a capacity of upper 29,000 odd last year.
Since then we have taken away a goodly section of the West stand for reporters. Some more gone in new camera set ups.
Yes we have added a few with new boxes.
But all of a sudden we have 30k+ crowds.
Where have they come from ?
Are we now including the stewards, ball boys and girls, seagulls ? |  | | |  |

Ashton said before the season started that our capacity had actually increased to over 30,000. |  |

D block went so more seats were squeezed into Cobbold upper.
X block lost their extra legroom so more premium seats could be installed.
Extra seats were installed at the back of Y block where the press box used to be.
And as you say the 2 new lounges probably hold 100 or so. |  | | |

All the extra TV crews and journalists for the PL are counted too.
The days of just Phil and the EADT in attendance are over! | | | |

I’m contractually obliged to say JOURNALISTS SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN ATTENDANCE FIGURES BECAUSE THEYRE NOT SEATS YOU CAN BUY. |  |

There’s a couple of new exec boxes behind us in the Pioneer (what’s it called now??) that have added three rows of seats, probably around 100 in total. |  | | |

Lots of questioning of player quality, team selection, the gap in Premier League quality… but very little questioning of ourselves as fans and our support
We all get the players have to fire up the crowd, but it can work the other way, and our survival is such fine margins, we really need to just enjoy these games and the occasion and just back the boys with a really intimidating atmosphere for the away team. |  |

So true. Portman Road was far too quiet against Palace. We too need to play our parts. | | | |

Serious question - should stewards, police, St John’s Ambulance staff etc be counted too? What about the playing and backroom squads? |  |

Agree, it was not good on Tuesday, people too quick to tut and carp. | |
