DanBlazey Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Does it really matter? Our official attendances are always lower than the headcount. 133 is a very good crowd for your league and 98% of step seven clubs would snap your hand off for a crowd that size.

soccerfan Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Why does it matter so much Judge? Is there a prize at the end of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Judge aka RED OR DEAD Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Maybe not to you lot, but Newquay fans are pissed off that our crowds are shown far below the true figure. We are truly the 2nd best supported club in Cornwall (PZ being top, no one counts Truro anymore) and are annoyed that due to supposed VAT reasons our crowds are being under-declared. It makes us look small time to the world outside Mount Wise, when we know, that there is no Prem side with bigger support. If you want a real laugh, G state the crowd today was 490 when the top estimate was 300 and over half were Newquay fans. Most thought 200 was a fair crowd, 250 tops . Put it this way, there were more at Mount Wise on Tues night v St Austell than at G today and Newquay have declared just 133 - go figure ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_ Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I would have said there were many more at todays game than Tuesday. If I were to guess I would have estimated 350-400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm lost on this one, don't the home side declare the gate. I was at Saltash yesterday, did a complete head count and it came to 194. Will be interesting to see the figure given. A also note that if you take away the incredible one off gate of 737 v Godolphin then the average is only 89.

Guest Peppermint Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I note the time of your posting Mark and obviously by then you did well to see the keyboard. In the cold light of day and being sober you might like to apologise to the Secretary - you cannot win at Newquay - produce a great result on the field and some has to moan. In the Clubhouse yesterday - a few drink fuelled fans moaning about something that was meaningless. It certainly takes a thick skin to try and run a football club - talking about not pleasing anyone. Never mind when the AGM comes around those outspoken people will be able to take over. Then again there is a pink pig just flown by!!! Rant over - well done to Jim and his team.

chairman Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Whilst it is interesting to look at these figures,I think it a waste of nervous energy to get paranoid. The important thing to all clubs is the amount taken at the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the cold light of day and being sober you might like to apologise to the Secretary I am not disputing the great job that Derek, you and all the other committee members have done for the club. From now on I will count the crowd (including those who have not paid, kids etc and not subject to VAT) and post it on the forum, others can then decide on what figures to believe.

Guest RedDel Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 When I was on the gate on Tuesday Night it was so windy that a five pound note I was handing out as change blew out of my hand and disappeared down the road. According to the Judges headcount I must have missed another hatfull blowing away whilst I wasn't looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Judge aka RED OR DEAD Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 BLIMEY NOT CONTENT WITH HAVING A GO AT OTHER CLUBSIN CORNWALL THE JUDGE IS NOW ACCUSING THE NEWQUAY COMITEE OF FIDDLING THE GATES AND POCKETING THE MONEY. ON AN OPEN FORUM TOO ? PRICELESS That is not what I was saying. Every club should declare the correct attendance as many get in for nothing, kids, committee etc, if you don't charge, then you don't pay VAT. Truro let in over 700 free of charge for one match and you can be sure that not a penny VAT needs to be paid on that. From Dereks comments it appears that he is only counting those who paid, in which case 133 is about right. But as eveyone who was in the ground knows, a figure much higher actually watched and it is this figure that should be given out. I've said it before and I will say it again, no one is knocking the hard work put in by all concerned at Mount Wise, no one is saying that money is being pocketed without telling the VATman (other that the **** that is FRODO), just tell us how many are watching.

DanBlazey Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Flippin 'eck, Judge - thought you'd see the funny side of that... maybe not! In the past, you have been downright unacceptable, but more recently I have found you to be outrageous, controversial, biased and opinionated, qualities which make you perhaps the most talked about character in Cornish football. You divide opinion wherever you go and get people talking - that has to be a good thing. You, Judge, are a football FAN and that is something sadly lacking in Cornwall these days. I salute you :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
