It's not a fraud, clubs are allowed to announce ticket sales instead of bums in seats and they have been doing it for years, so famously have Arsenal and our neighbours too.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Bradford fans who regularly go to home games estimated last night's crowd at being somewhere between 5 and 6,000. They're also saying that season ticket prices are going through the roof next season and that crowds will probably be down to that level every game
