    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    To be fair there was less than 1000 left before KO in the first leg.

    Sunderland away tickets

    There's cheap parking, at Sunderland University, run by the British Legion, so a good cause. It's 20 minutes walk and puts you close to the A690 to the A1.

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    TBF it's not meant as a celebratory homecoming in any way, it's to encourage the team to play well in 'the second half' of the tie. It's just one of many 'forums' and speaking for themselves only. No one I know thinks there's much to celebrate, a Coventry goal in the first minute and it's back...

    To be fair Sunderland wouldn't play like that in a final, it was a specific situation to counter Lampard's tactics. Ballard came in to cope with all the crosses and long throw ins and we played two quick strikers to keep your back line under pressure. When we played Sheff Utd last time we had...

    To be fair, that was the entire game plan, we have the players who can capitalise on mistakes.

    In which way? Sunderland's tactics were to stop Coventry's attacks. Coventry can't sit back as Sunderland did tonight.

    I don't know what you are but there's no way you're a Sunderland supporter. I suspect you're a Mag, if you think you can fool me let's go for it.

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Of course Sunderland supporters argue amongst themselves, all forums are the same. My point was that a Mag is scouring Sunderland forums to gather quotes about the amount of tickets we've sold and making it sound like Civil War has broken out. They turn up in the home sections, of our away...

    I'm pretty sure the person who writes 'The Mag' is a Mag ;) Anyway there's 1000 tickets left so that's a decent effort, in my opinion, with 4 days left to go.

    That's quite funny, the author of that is one of a couple of dozen Mags who post on RTG pretending to be Sunderland, the place is rife with them which is a sad way to spend your time. I believe there are only single seats left, in the lower section, 40,000+ sold and around 1500 still to sell in...

    It's accepted that he'll leave this summer tbh, but he's incredibly professional, for his age, and loves the big games. It's been wonderful to see him develop and he'll leave with our best wishes, I'm sure of that. He'll become a top player and represent England before long.

    It's an excellent forum but, as with most, there are posters who say things they probably wouldn't in real life. One of the best things, about Sunderland, is that away fans can go into any pub, there are no designated home only places so everyone is welcome. I've noticed posts, on here, about...

    Really, where did you see that, I've not seen anyone suggesting anything like that. Tickets, to non-SC holders, only went on sale at 10am this morning. There was around 35,000 sold after lunchtime and there's two days before the first leg.

    Hello, I'm a retired Sunderland supporter who'll be at both legs. I live near Sunderland and rarely miss a game so can help if anyone needs info about parking, accomodation, pubs, restaurants or whatever. Good luck with it all, whatever happens we both made it to the play-offs so our season...
