Never had an issue getting in a pub at Sunderland, certainly without colours. Have gone in the Colliery Tavern right outside the ground a couple of times. Doorman asked if we were Cov last time, said yes, and he just said in you come lads. That was last season, so don't know if they've changed...

Were you at a different game?

No need to be dramatic here. Sunderland had a game plan and executed it well. But the idea that winning at Sunderland is some sort of impossible mission 😂. Totally doable. Not saying we will, but we're 2-1 down at half time. Breathe. Long way to go yet.

Fully understand that sentiment. I just think it's mostly different people now. It does grate, get that completely.

I dunno. Used to fill me with rage, but feel like it's time to bury it (but not forget). Some of the people involved have moved on or are no longer with us, and there will be plenty of people who work with the council who support the club. Personally don't have the energy for that stuff any...

Keep thinking that we see a different Sunderland tonight, they've been coasting and will be pumped for tonight. That said, this is going to need a big gear change for them, and it will be a cauldron. Young side too, which could work either way, they freeze or play without fear. In short, no...

The rule is a nonsense anyway. The 'professional foul' red card rule was introduced to punish those who deny a clear goal scoring opportunity. If you get a penalty, you get another clear goal scoring opportunity. Makes no sense even without the genuine attempt for the ball stuff.

Significant number of concessions will bring that down, probably more like 700K being our contribution to the 4 way pot. Will be less at BC owing to their lower capacity. Sheff Utd are struggling to sell tickets but might sell out in the end and Sunderland not guaranteed to sell out (but that...

They had a few fence rattlers out this season too. It"a all comes from a handful of toothless cretins from Weirside. Nobody else gives a shit.

Over confidence here is worrying. This is a tough ask. They will be right up for it and recent form not all that relevant in what is effectively a cup tie. Not at all convinced we must take a win up there either. We struggle away from home against physical shithouse sides; but against teams...

Hope the club sort the block 2 situation. Crazy situation on Saturday where you have a complete sell out, a ticket exchange, tickets selling for £100+ and yet quite a few empty seats in there. Was even worse for the sell outs against Stoke and Albion. Aware they keep some back for players and...

We had 2250 in the league game as an 'initial' allocation, not sure was the full allocation would have been but it wasn't needed for that game. There is a history of only giving 2K for playoffs, like we did against Boro a couple of years back (I note Bristol city and Sheffield Utd have settled...

Exactly. Know a few people who bought singles miles from each other during the 1st wave when it appeared all had sold, then blocks of tickets get realised an hour later, which was nothing to do with tickets in baskets, they just hadn't released them.

Still quite a few left as not all seats released yet. Just released a few hundred just now

Are they junior tickets? If so they can only be bought with an adult at same time, if not, that's odd

Not sure people are getting it 😂. Don't need another.

Of course we can. They're cup ties loaded with pressure, which would all be on them, especially if we could take a lead to their place. Definitely doable. Injuries worry me, and I'm not saying we would progress, but we'd be competitive.

No point being dramatic. We get over the line next week or we don't. If we do, I'm strangely more confident we'd progress than I was ahead of the last two games. Saw that coming, but we're still right in the mix. Big home game in CV6 to come, what's not to like.

I simply do not get how people would rather 'give it another year', it makes zero sense. Promotion from this league is difficult, if the opportunity is there, you take it. The default position is that we will be stronger next season, but who says we will? I expect sales in the summer. The club...

I agree that the odds are in our favour, no doubting that. I'm simply stating the worst case here, that Boro beat Wednesday and Norwich and we lose our next two, it would be over. They'd have a minimum +8 GD, likely higher. There would be virtually no prospect of overtaking them. Of course, this...
