Surely people understand that if the club were artificially inflating the numbers they would just end up paying additional tax on revenue which doesn't exist? It's such a bizarre allegation.

The crowd figure and revenue are different figures with different ticket price bands and the possibility of free tickets etc. Something does seem to be different about how gates are being counted compared to previous seasons though.

Went to first HRB home match this season.
Two impressive teams, fitness and skill improved. HRB deserved a draw.
Pitch looked good.
Good crowd ('tho probably not 1300).
Good covered area in fan zone.
PA system improved.
Ticket prices increased.
Only one food & tea/coffee outlet (there used to be two to four), so huge queue the whole match, and few chocolate bars.
No welcome from friendly faces of Supporters Trust inside the gates, no golden goal, programmes sold out in shop.
Few adverts round the ground so less engagement with the business world and the community, less revenue.
Great to see improved team and a larger crowd, some things improved a lot, tho' overall from personal view matchday experience worse than a couple of years ago.
Can easily be improved by having more food & tea/coffee outlets, and reinstating the Supporters Trust presence in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
