Ref 1520/13
Could you please email me a list of attendances of Manchester City and Wigan
Athletic home games so far this season according to GMPs figures?
Could you also state, in as much detail as possible, how this figure was arrived at?
How was attendance judged - was it going through a turnstile or some other marker?
Were corporate hospitality people who didnt have to pass through a turnstile
counted? Which groups who paid to watch the match were not counted?
Can you also confirm that this counting method is used when GMP counts all
attendances? i.e. would the same methodology apply when GMP counts Manchester
United home attendances?
Following receipt of your request searches were conducted within Greater Manchester
Police to locate information relevant to your request. I can confirm that the information you
have requested is not held by Greater Manchester Police.
