I know I'm wasting my time but I'll give it another go (over the years I've explained this to CFC on several occasions).

Let's take today's Southampton v Spurs game as our example. The game was a sellout and I believe St Mary's holds around 30k however there were swathes of empty seats due to Covid.

Arsenal or West Ham would give the gate as 30k+ as they go by tickets sold whereas Spurs believe the attendance should be those who bothered to turn up and would give the crowd as 25k (I'm guessing it was around that figure) hope this helps.

As for Chelsea you are the European champions so you should be filling your small stadium with ease.

West Ham?

I remember reading a bbc article a few years ago that had West Ham top of the discrepancy (between gate given and actual attendance) table.

I haven't got time to look now but for those who have get googling.

That was in 2018 when West Ham gave a portion of tickets to local council..

How many Spurs fans were there yesterday for the prestigious FA cup game?

Last weekend 54k West Ham, 40k Spurs

You have to give West Ham credit for crowds they get, in a stadium they don’t like.

Spurs fans Say they love the new ground but empty seats every week. Wish they’d given us more than 5700 tonight . We would have taken double

Loyalty point cut off was 55. We had 54

West Ham give their tickets away for free in Cornflakes packets though!

You might need to be of a certain age to understand that!

My mum could never work out why we went through so much Persil in the 80s during the football season!
