    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    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.

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    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...

    Sunderland forum at it again

    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.

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

    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...

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    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...

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    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...

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    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.

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

    Bottled It

    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.

    Bottled It

    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...

    3 games to go

    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...

    Boro Attendence

    Near the ground, 10 min walk, there is the Novotel. If in town centre, your usual Premier Inns etc., but the Telegraph Hotel is very good. Round the ground a few places for a drink, Longford Engine is an away designated pub, and you'll have no issue in Dhillons.

    It may not matter though. We all can see the permutations, which makes the confidence of some a little unnerving. Us losing tomorrow and Boro beating Wednesday isn't all that unlikely. That's puts us in a position where a defeat at Luton could be the end of the road. We've all watched football...

    True, but I'm not sure this matters all that much, these are cup finals now, they'll be a scrap. Besides our form against teams near the bottom away from home hasn't been great. Stoke, Cardiff, Derby, Pompey, Hull - just 2 points from 18 from those games.

    3 games to go

    We're obviously in a strong position, but that late Boro goal has made it very tight. We effectively have a 2 point cushion owing to GD, with 2 exceptionally tough away games to come. Plymouth will throw everything at it Monday. Lose and we could find ourselves outside the top 6 in a couple of...

    Play off allocations are limited to 2k, we only gave them 2k for the 1st leg.

    Given the circumstances, to not concede a shot on target all game is a testament to how comfortable that was. We are a very good side.
