And your context doesn't take in to consideration us playing a League Two side. This could go on forever.Originally Posted by Joker
This is typical propaganda from the official website. You can't use official figures to make this sort of comparison, you must look at the stadium capacity as well and look at what percentage of the seats have been filled. Here's a revised analysis:
As you can see, when done this way we're only 11th out of 26th out of the matches selected, which doesn't look so good now does it?
I hate it when people use statistics without putting them in their proper context. This is without considering the fact that we're a London club and our supporters tend to come from the Home Counties, where incomes are generally higher relative to the rest of the country, and even then so many people stayed away from the match, despite the cheap tickets.
Bottom line really is that Arsenal.com didnt need to publish that story. It just smacks of desperation. Who are they trying to kid really? During the Liverpool game, there were empty seats in the front row, game against Swansea was also empty.. now when I say empty, I dont mean a barren stadium but compared to Arsenal standards. From what I hear, it seems tickets are going on General Sale. When did that happen on a regular basis earlier?
Arsenal has a lot of negativity around the football club and its not going to go away by posting shit articles like that. In fact, they should stop posting anything on that website. Do your talking and playing on the football field.. if they can manage to do that, the fans will come around themselves.
Desperation to praise our supporters? This is strange. The club is supposedly run by people who could not care less about the supporters, an article is put on the website though perhaps not entirely accurate, it's at least nice to see the club thanking those supporters that went to the game. There are a lot of things to be het up about, articles on the website of this nature are not one of them.
The statement posted on the website says this too:I guess that's another nefarious attempt at brainwashing Arsenal supporters.It was also great to see so many Shrewsbury fans at the game.
This info is 2% away from being total nonsense.
The Liverpool game was sold out. It started pouring rain so people scarpered from the first 8-9 rows. Well all of them did except for Adzz who turned up at the Pins looking like a drowned rat. I explained this when you raised it the first time a few weeks back.
Things are bad - no doubt about that, but there is no need to bullshit things worse than they are.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Arsenal.com really never has anything worth reading on it, I'm sure when we got thrashed 8-2 they spun it around saying we scored "two great goals".
It's like Wenger in a website.
exactly. for leeds to only have 80% is pretty crap when you think of the history, those two clubs hate each other and well for leeds atm, is a massive game given its united. i would have expected that to have been sold out.
so basically we are moaning now cos the clubs website has tried to stick up for its fans getting a whole load of shit from sky etc for not turning up?
As if any other club website isn't slightly partisan.Also, if you mean on the match report, I don't believe they say what you say they did. Certainly they did not 'spin it round', there was a slightly optimistic feel to it but there was an acceptance of it being a pretty awful day.
