To pick up on a previous comment I made, some observations on home attendances. I'll be careful how I word this, there are a number of coincidences in the attendance figures and certain match facts, I'm sure I am not the only person to notice this and if there was anything in it, I wouldn't believe it was anything more than a nice thing to do. The attendance figure more often than not appears ends with a significant shirt number (Two figures not available, figures from EIHL gamesheets)

Home attendances = Just look around the arena and use your eyes.

He used to always put the MotM number as the last 1 or 2 digits, so wouldn't surprise me.

6666 I saw somewhere on Halloween I believe. This sport does not deserve a sponsor.

How can they realistically do that from a tax perspective?

How can they realistically do that from a tax perspective? The taxable income would be based on overall revenue, the number of tickets that contribute to that revenue would not be important.

Generally the actual attendance is somewhat lower than what is written on the game sheet. I know for the last Steelers game, it was called a sellout by Panthers but the Arena Staff were told that there'd only be 6000-6500 based on ticket sales. So the number i'm guessing, usually is inflated a little bit by GM.

I suppose that's true, but there could be issue with available info on existing ticket prices surely? I know a football club got in trouble for it once.

When speaking to the stewards they always say how many people they're expecting and it's almost always a few hundred to a thousand less than stated by Panthers.

There are at least a row of sponsor seats in black 5
