    Sunderland crowd..

    Although it does happen routinely in the PL with the price cap.

    Sunderland crowd..

    Well it is having a material impact on home sales, we're hardly selling any.

    Sunderland crowd..

    We charged them £34 last season. As for Leicester, they did charge us £35, they are one of the most expensive in the league and yet still cheaper than us, but they also charged only £7 for youngsters. So £42 for Leicester against the £62 we are charging for parent and young child for...

    Sunderland crowd..

    Oh come on, you know the point being made here, because these prices impact on our fans too. If pricing is based on demand, but the demand disappears because of the pricing, the pricing is wrong? People keep banging on about maximising revenues, prices are like this because we need the money...

    Sunderland crowd..

    They easily sold the 3k we gave them last season for an early kick off on sky. They may well shift a load more this week, but with 30000 st holders, to have only sold 1400 before general sale suggests the calls for a boycott have been effective. Maybe a lot of them will cave as the game...

    Sunderland crowd..

    That's a nice glass half full reply! If it's the case that Sunderland fail to sell more than 2K for a Saturday 3pm game, owing to a boycott over pricing, then that is pretty significant? We should really be getting high 20s for this game.

    Sunderland crowd..

    Have seen it said that Sunderland have only sold 1400 ahead of general sale tomorrow (not sure if true but tickets have made general sale which is rare for them). If so, and the calls for a boycott are being heard, then you'd hope the club look at this again, especially kids pricing. Our sales...

    Improving year on year

    The quality of the league does shift season to season, and last year it was at its weakest for some time. A team making the playoffs with 69 points, pretty rare that. Some seasons teams in 8th finish on 78 points. The low points tallies last season doesn't itself point to lower quality of...

    New Songs for players

    The Gyokeres song was great. Not too long, not too complex and when sung with gusto the last line was proper noisy.

    Perspective

    It is pleasing. Despite people saying, correctly, that possession stats are often meaningless in the context of a game, it is clearly the intention of MR to change our style back to one based on playing out the back, keeping the ball and bossing games. Swansea will often have more of the ball...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    One thing I can be sure of is that Ellis Simms is not reading the Ellis Simms thread on SBT. As long as he is getting support from the stands (which he is), then why are people getting so upset at some of the criticism on here? Why do people take it so personally? I think he'll come good, just...

    Perspective

    What's all this hysteria about? Support from the crowd at all 3 games has been positive, as it has been for several years. We back the players superbly. That's what matters. If Geoff from Wyken wants to whinge about Da Silva's choice of moisturizer on tik tok, who gives a fuck? People are...

    Match Thread Swansea City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    He wasn't injured because he didn't play? I'm a big fan of Palmer, has a lot of ability. But, he runs out of gas at 75 mins and seems very injury prone. Not sure we can carry somebody like that tbh.

    Saudi Football League

    You're missing the point. Nobody created the English game from a blank canvass with franchises and a shit load of cash. The money is irrelevant. Nobody really cares what they spend, we're simply saying it's of no interest to us and that will remain the case, because it's just not very interesting.

    Saudi Football League

    Nobody I know will give the Saudi league a second glance. Couldn't give less of a shit. It has no chance long term. You cannot manufacture tradition, rivalries, passion or loyalties. MLS maybe has a bit of a chance over time because of sporting culture in the US and established city rivalries...

    Left at 7.30 and got here at 10.15. It was the only way to avoid all the shite.

    Huddersfield Game Moved

    What the fuck are sky doing scheduling Championship fixtures on a Monday night? Especially one as dull as this. Who outside of Cov and Huddersfield will give a shit? Nobody is watching this. Another matchday ruined.

    Match Thread Swansea City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Not looking forward to this. Drive down will be horrendous. Nowhere decent to get a drink and storm Betty treating us to 50mph wind gusts. Apart from that, it'll be a top away day.

    When did the Arena change for you?

    It's been running for several years,.it's just very infrequent and only 2 carriages.

    Season Tickets!!!

    Don't think I've ever met a single person of a right of centre persuasion that has ever believed everyone receiving state assistance is a freeloader. Not sure these people exist outside of a handful of crazies.
