Although Saturday's game with Leeds United was declared a sell out, some supporters may be wondering why the declared attendance was less than the 7,653 capacity.

The club could not sell 100 seats that were left for segregation purposes in the Alwyn Hargrave Stand, while 34 seats at the top of steps at various points are not sold but are reserved for use by stewards and/or police.

There were also 68 wheelchair and/or carer seats not purchased by supporters, and the 30 seats in the press box are not available for sale and are therefore not included in the declared attendance.

In addition in any crowd, a small number of people with tickets don't attend through illness, a late change of plan/circumstance, travel problems or any other personal reason.

Leeds United had 1,268 tickets for the game, made up of the 1,250 away allocation and 18 wheelchair supporters spaces.
