sunderland

Yes. I did have a City shirt on

 

I wonder if they will be in A block in main stand

 

They've been given block e Midland road

 

Take the money whilst it’s there. No one else will sell as many this season

 

I couldn't agree more, H.
Providing our lads put in a shift of hard graft, the supporting numbers should make for a decent atmosphere.

 

Whilst I agree with that the timing of the decision is absolutely ridiculous.

I've only just found out so I'm presuming I have to swap my seat somehow yet I'm working until Saturday dinnertime so will probably have to queue for an hour just to get my ticket so I can queue again at the turnstile.

Why couldn't the club just make an early announcement? We all know Sunderland could sell the whole midland road if we gave it them.

 

Always thought we got all the money from away fans, apparently not according to Accy Stanley chairman who's doing his nut on Twitter about new rulings from EFL. Also had a discussion with Katie Whyatt from width of a post on Twitter, she also said that the home team only get a small percentage of away fans tickets sold. Anyone know what the rules are now as I just thought the home team kept all gate receipts
In league games.

 

There's no change, away clubs get 5% of advance sales to cover their costs with the rest being kept by the home club. Andy Holt later clarified his original Tweet (which said that the EFL had decided to allocate the revenue from away ticket sales to the away club) to say that he was referring to home clubs losing ticket sales to away fans opting to watch the game on iFollow which means that the away clubs get a financial reward but the home club loses out.

 

I'd be surprised if it's only a bare minimum, I always thought the away side only got 5% with the rest to the home side? If the home side does only get a small cut then we, and everyone else should only allocate away teams the minimum required as there's no financial benefit, in fact it would probably cost the home team more due to extra policing and stewarding costs a big following would bring.

 

Police had to be consulted too. Imagine they would have to all get together

It’s not done to annoy anyone

 

Injury list continues to grow, Jim O'Brien out for four to six weeks with a hamstring tear.

Jones targeting the Checkatrade for a run out next week but Reeves had another set back...

 

Sunderland extra allocation already sold out in just over one hour

 

I didn't say it was but the planning and timing is amateur at best.

We knew the fixtures in July and, also in July, we knew that Sunderland would have been able to exceed their initial allocation. It wouldn't have taken take a great deal of planning to give people at least a week to get new tickets sorted.

Also, lets not forget this is for only 300 tickets so I'd guess about 7 or 8 grand in total. Is that really worth the hassle? If they'd have planned it and moved the whole Midland Road it would have certainly made sense. This way? I'm not so sure.

 

They filled the initial away allocation. That should have been the end of it. Shouldn't be messing our own fans about for the sake of selling 300 more. Not worth the hassle they are putting our own fans through.

 

I've got 4 season tickets in E block and everyone around me, including my friends who I sit with all have ST's for those seats.

We've had them in that block for around 10 or more years I'd guess.

I'm happy to move as I always have been in the past. My issues are with the timing and the level of income the inconvenience is going to bring.

 

Come sit with the cool kids in the lower kop Monkey, i'll give you a cuddle. Nae reacharound mind.

 

Good idea Rodders, i'd give them the whole stand. Tell the Midland roaders to take the week off. Lets face it they wouldn't miss much.

 

Time we got shut and claimed on the insurance......
