    Has anyone known a time where so many things were wrong at the club in one go?

    Let us know the details when you have them. Are you coordinating the fan response with @Fordy117@Fordy117 ?

    A walk out/non-attendance is a good start, however, when it's blatantly clear so many are already not attending I'm not sure this is the big gesture intended.

    Though I agree with hitting where it hurts in the pocket is the most sensible way, I think we need something that can be an image and be made repeatable to ram home the message.

    Something like coordinated throwing of tennis balls onto the pitch (Charlton springs to mind) as this creates something 'iconic' which draws media attention and is repeatable and would be broadcast over and over again on SSN/BBC Sport/Quest etc.

    What I have noticed recently is how empty a lot of the Main Stand is.
    If everyone who sat behind about Row L came forward after the Kick Off, occupied all the empty seats and then walked out on say the 80th minute (when the ball was in the middle of the pitch) it would be captured by the TV cameras.
    A very visible expression of dissatisfaction and not breaking any of the stadium rules by throwing objects onto the pitch.
    If you want to make a noise, then a 1,000 or so blowing these would attract press coverage! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261527279713?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

    Not really a fair comparison. 1 is an FA Cup 5th round match vs a Premier League club on a weekend and the other is a Tuesday night match vs Harrogate Town. The first home game after the Sunderland match we only had 13,500 in attendance and the previous game was 12,000. Last night's true attendance was probably around 8,000 so really only a 4,000 drop on a fair comparison.

    You're right, I should have compared like for like.

    Anyone got any photos of our bumper crowd at the replay with Exeter that we lost?

    Are the actual attendance numbers part of the public domain? Could these be found out to further display the current decline

    I don't think there was 8,000 at VP last night.

    No way it was 1/3 full. As seen on the picture, row after row of empty seats.

    Have they ? I know they requested it, but from what I read they were refused as it hadn't been "sanitised" post Covid.
