    Average attendances home and away

    MK Dons was always a good one for boosting our away average in years gone by. Didn't we take 7,500 there in the year we played at Northampton, where our support was only about 2,000?

    Sunderland away tickets

    Just an observation on the 'supporters club' issue. As long as the number of tickets taken by the supporters clubs doesn't exceed the number of members in each points bracket I don't really have a problem with other supporters club members accessing those tickets. Although its on a slightly...

    Ex Player Watch

    One of Northampton, Burton, Port Vale or Walsall I suspect.

    I would have thought it would be on in one of the multi screen sports bars they have there.

    Player ratings v Boro

    Simms is immensely frustrating as he plainly has the tools to be a good player, but seems to lack desire and is too often on the back foot. Early in the first half yesterday when Wright put a cross in that went over Simms head I was wondering why he wouldn't instinctively look to jump as Wright...

    Who would you sell?

    Rudoni is going to be very hard to keep if we don't get promoted. I suspect that the other promoted teams will be interested in him and a few other teams already in the PL.

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    Or you could beat someone to it with more points than you, it is what it is! When we have 20,000+ season ticket holders the only guaranteed way to get yourself a ticket for such games is by becoming a season ticket holder yourself.

    He's Magic You Know

    Before kick off was really worried seeing him in the tunnel where he looked as nervous as Collins has done recently. He also had that bad touch early in the game, but from then on was excellent and played a big part in the team's victory.

    Angus Gunn

    Gunn played pretty well against us, but it looks like he had an ordinary season away from those games. Not a fan of bringing in players based on them playing well against us, as we've been bitten by such signings in the past as mentioned earlier in the case of Clayton Ince.

    Watching the Boro game in Hackney…

    I was in the Empire Casino in Leicester Square a couple of weeks ago and the Sports Bar seemed happy to show whatever people wanted. They had both PL & Championship games on so I reckon you could get it shown there.

    Hamer - Championship PotS

    Maybe, but he is undoubtedly their most influential player though. Without him they would be closer to Sunderland's points tally than where they are now.

    Hamer - Championship PotS

    Hamer has been hugely influential on Sheffield United's season and without him they are a much weaker team, however some of our fans obviously feel better playing his value down. The same fans no doubt who wanted us to sell him for less than £5m at one point! I do agree though that the Burnley...

    For the older fans here

    I always find it less stressful physically being at the game. Also, while I find watching a stream slightly more stressful, its still no where near as bad as listening to a radio commentary where every time the opposition have possession it feels like they are about to score. Doing none of these...

    Final games of old

    That was a bizarre game. We were actually competitive for most of the game, causing Seaman all sort of problems from corners, and going into the last 10 minutes we were only 2-1 down but looking like we might equalise. They then brought on Perry Groves as sub who tore us apart as they added 4...

    Lampard

    I'm not a great fan of BTA but I would be tempted to start him as well. If Bassette was fit I might even have preferred him to Simms. Other possibilities if we are to drop Simms and presuming EMC is not available would be to put Haji up front and bring in Paterson, or even move Rudoni on the...

    Biamou or Simms

    Keep hoping he will suddenly put in a performance like from his hot spell last season, but there is very little sign of that form returning. He really doesn't use his physique, and is too easily physically dominated by opposing defenders, while his lack of close control prevents him holding the...

    Probably depends first off whether it is one of Sky's main games.
