I’m pretty sure Mr Ticketing Guru @Spoonz Red E can clear this ‘do ST holders count to the announced attendance figure even if they don’t turn up‘ debate once and for all.

As far as I know the attendance figures are comprised of
- all season ticket holders (whether attending or not)
- all other users whose tickets have been scanned in as used (including Hospitality guests)
In short - the season ticket sales total plus all other scanned tickets on the day.
"Attendance is based on the number of spectators attending the match PLUS non-attending season ticket holders. This has been the basis the club has adopted for a number of season. Non-attending ticket holders on a match by match basis are not included in the attendance published."
As mentioned within the capacity info the Club released April 22.

Thanks @Spoonz Red E , hopefully a few Grecians can sleep well tonight now!As far as I know the attendance figures are comprised of
If ordinary (non-season) tickets have been bought for matches but not used on the day they aren't counted.
- all season ticket holders (whether attending or not)
- all other users whose tickets have been scanned in as used (including Hospitality guests)
In short - the season ticket sales total plus all other scanned tickets on the day.

Not read all of the thread so sorry if been mentioned before but only watched the interview yesterday. And Think Hawker should be a politician didn’t answer any question directly and it really worried me when he said we would have a competitive budget in League 2 next season. Unbelievable really and at the last home game no real negativity until a little bit at the end. Obviously needs deaf aid . If this is the people leading the club well they will be building Caldwell a statue. As a famous song once said No Future

Finally got round to watching the interview, and what a painful watch it was. Hardly inspires confidence as the leader of the club slouched in his pyjamas looking like an unmade bed, simpering, wishy washy answers that went unchallenged, it’s clear that despite, apparently, being a fan for over 50 years he knows absolutely nothing about the dynamics of football and how a club and those that run it should conduct itself.
No wonder were where we are when the leadership is as wet and limp as this, I almost expected him to burst into tears at one point and as the interviewer to stop asking such difficult questions (because it was painfully obvious he didn’t know how to answer them in such a way to instill confidence in the supporters).
Still, it’ll be the Christmas Fayre later this week so let’s have a cup of tea and a mince pie and it’ll all sort itself out in the end. Good grief.

What is so impressive about the current governance arrangements?
Whilst it was admirable that (some years ago) the Trust got the club board (notably Tagg) to appreciate the Trust held the trump card, the outcome is messy.
The club CEO is no longer on the board, the President is (but doesn’t have a vote) and the Chair is only permitted to vote if 75% of the voting directors agree. It is easy to argue the three senior people at the club have no vote. And I have no idea why they thought appointing a CEO, and not bothering to pay him, would be a good idea that will sustain.
Meanwhile, the voting directors are three appointed by the club - a lawyer, an accountant and a businessman (with no football experience between them) and three appointed by the Trust who have seemingly never sat on the board of any other business. One of the Trust-appointed directors is seemingly also employed by the club as a scout!
In my view, Mr Hawker has completely stuffed up the governance arrangements by allowing too much overlap between the club and the trust. Being qualified to sit on the Trust Board, and pontificate over how to allocate around £100k in annual donations, does not automatically transfer to competence to be a director of a reasonable-sized business which, on occasion, will require timely decision-making. And excluding key personnel from a board vote is a recipe for disaster if you want accountability.
