I saw the tweet from the club and find it quite odd if I'm honest.
The figure we're looking for is 8,175 home sales, as Wycombe were given 1,825 and have sold them all. I currently have us less than 50 from the required figure. Sales have been very good yesterday and today, with about 800 being sold across the two days. My figure is often about 100/125 above the club's figure (due mostly to seats that have restricted view that are not put on sale) but the 700 needed is a discrepancy of over 500 with my figure at that time, which has never happened before, so something doesn't add up.
Seats are clearly selling, as I can see each time I check the variance from the previous time, and there is a clear pattern. The "sales" in Block 1 and some of the other "wide" areas are where the club put families of academy players and other complementaries, which explains why sometimes 50 or more seats suddenly appear to be "sold" in an area where there had previously been very few sales. Sometimes these only occur in the week leading up to the game, but they do count towards the attendance figure.
Although my figures show us needing less than 50 sales I'll factor in the 125 differential that usually occurs and say we still need just under 200, which I think we'll do by the way.
