They report attendance figures to include all ST holders because the argument is that they cannot sell tickets for those seats anyway so they may aswell include them as being occupied.
Formula according to Bradford RLFC. Simples!

i wasn't comparing our crowds jools, just saying that to me town expect and probably should get bigger crowds ( as should we) but we dont seem too afraid to announce our true attendance figures whether good or bad.

True attendance figures are so we pay less to the tax man.

Tax is calculated on the p&l figures, if a seat is sold' it's revenue and used in the P&L, not whether the person attended or not



I tell you what the pitch is looking worse than it did when we left it, football is damaging the pitch much more!

Its a pity we're not as massive as the massive Martin

If we sell 4000 season tickets and 500 of those don't turn up and 1000 pay on the gate but our attendance is 4500 not 500 could it could be said that only 500 paid on the gate...

Yes, but the club has already received payment from the other 500.

Tax is paid on the season tickets and then on each additional payment at the turnstiles.

An attendance figure on its own can't be used for tax purposes as the figures would need to be broken down into season ticket prices, prepay ticket prices, gate prices, concessions, discounted tickets/freebies, etc.

You pay corporation tax once a year based on profit (if any).
Attendance figures are just a crude indicator of one of the many sales income streams.
