The funsters

[DUFCstokie]

Ok Shedka, I'll 'bite' and engage directly with you. One question. The first derby of the season in August it was announced that United sold out, indeed many on here, you especially, were trumpeting that fact. We had less seats allocated than at times in the past and certainly sold out the allocation we got, another fact. If you add on all non attending STs and comps, as I agree we do also, you should get have had a full house. Sundays attendance at the Celtic game was supposedly another full house based on the add on non attendees criteria. Going to your official site the official crowd for the Derby was 12616 and the official crowd for Sunday was 13662. Can you explain the difference? If all tickets are shifted and all non attendees are added in then a full house should be a regular figure but it isn't. Your 'official' 'full house' crowds are all over the place! I ask a respectful question so please don't dismiss the question as frivolous. As far as Dens attendances are concerned I reckon we add on non attendees as do all Premier Clubs (I think) but the only crowd debates on our sites are on the basis that we understate the crowds (again I don't actually agree with that reckoning our crowd figures issued are about right). Despite what you think and despite my interaction with you there are not many posters on our sites obsessed with crowd figures as you appear to be. I can't think of any on our side who don't believe you have a larger attending support than we have at home and at most away games. So there is no comparison arguments, it's not something that bothers me in any case and I don't think it bothers many 'over here'. It's just that the look of your crowds and some if the anomalies in the reporting of your crowd numbers that 'interest' us and seem out of kilter. Look forward to your explanation of the Derby and Celtic crowd anomaly. Cheers!

I don't believe you

I am often annoyed when United leave a large column of empty seats as a barrier between rival fans or rows to keep fans away from the close perimeter of the pitch. This might be the reason for the attendancy discrepancy, you highlight, between what is considered to be a full house. There was no created gaps on Sunday.

Your prerogative! But fwiw it's true. I've got a lot more things, not all good, going in in my life to bother about a fact (that United get better crowds than Dundee) that I can't influence. End of.............

Ump**** ramblings ranting about the DABS on a DAB messageboard highly suggest otherwise????

And another thing! How do you highlight bits of a post in another colour? Could be handy!

Ump**** ramblings?? Actually only 3 or 4 (5 now). Your counting is about as off as your clubs crowd figures.

Can you bear with me for one more post before I go away, shut up and await Shedka's reply. You don't believe that I'm not bothered so be it. Posts 2 to 6 were in reply to accusations of 'it' bothering me while I await Shedka's reply. Folk on both sides of this forum have been debating crowd figures mostly comparing Tannadice and Dens crowds for ages and occasionally a poster ( me in this instance) ventures over to the other side to make comment or ask a question in my case. Your guy Roma is over on our side 'debating' this issue quite frequently even starting a thread on Dundee Mad. I will now respectfully withdraw from this thread still hopefully awaiting Shedka's reply.

My only other recent post on United Mad was to wholeheartedly agree with a United poster rightly slagging off Newco' Rangers for wanting the cup final replayed. I passionately hate both Celtic and Rangers for so many reasons and that is something that unites both sides of the Dundee divide. Roma and a few others post on our side, a few post on yours and it is good banter reasonably well tolerated both ways. I can't see anything other than ructions on either of the arse cheeks sites if they are infiltrated by the enemy.

Good night.
