There were clearly a lot of ST holders missing yesterday, will probably look a little better in the home end once we hit school term time.

Thought it looked OK from the posh stand TBH. Only empty block was in the away end.

At least they agree...

Atmosphere yesterday

Not wanting digging anyone out, or 'have a go at our fans', but I think that's the quietest away end I've seen since I started going to away matches. Comprehensively out-sung by the Cov fans, fair play to them. Just wondering if anyone has any hypothesis about why that was the case? The fact we...

Why are blocks 1,2&3 always sold out but yesterday I saw and they were half empty?

I can only assume they are amongst the last to be put on sale. So season ticket holders are there only

Was the same all last season, they don’t sell all the seats there unless they need to.

Seemed a lot of empty seats in the family zone, at a quick glance seemed a decent number of adults in there without kids.

School holidays or are people really buying and adult & kids ticket for a kid that will rarely attend? only saves you £50 over the price of a season ticket elsewhere in the ground

But why an empty block ?

I watched the Spurs/Man United match last week historically not the friendliest set of fans and the no-mans land was only about six seats wide with a line of stewards.
I think if the empty block in the south stand was opened up to pay on the day fans it would encourage a larger walk-up.

Isn't it because it's where the players' tickets are located and often they don't turn up?

To be fair, Sunderland didn't sell out what they were given.

One of the first times in 5 years they haven't sold an away end out on a Saturday. Says a lot about the pathetic £37 ticket.

Think players tickets might be the other side. The players often go over to people sat around 36, 37 (?) after the game. Might be split over both sides of course

I've definitely seen some player families in block 2 before.

It's very strange that those blocks are sold out but always have empty seats. Even in the play off match, there were empty seats there.

would make sense if they've reserved for the players and other people on freebies

They were one of the loudest sets of away fans I heard at HR when we played them on the opening day of the season and beat them 2-0.

It’ll be people on holiday.

The effect is magnified this year because of so many season ticket holders

The very fact we’re talking in terms of number of empty seats instead of number sold should tell you something.

Or it's because when you only spend £50 on your kids ticket, you aren't arsed if they don't turn up most weeks?

Same thing isn’t it? I mean if you were that bothered about being at every match you’d plan your holidays around it.

Can’t remember what game it was but there was a bit of over zealous banter with away fans and a bit of a surge think it was from then.

How good is it to be able to count the empty seats instead of the full ones!!!

Aren't they for the players friends and family, so they may not always turn up, it was the same last season, shame really as it always noticeable on the TV

Players family and friends have front five rows of part of block 36. On average about 50% full i’d say in general. I’m in the row behind.

Interesting that the stewards tried to get people to sit down at the back of block 21. Went on for ages until the fans started singing Stand up if you love city. Hundreds then stood up and the stewards had to give up!

I'm in Block 1 and see the same people every match filling about 50% of the block (ST holders), the rest seem to come and go with new faces and sometimes a lot of empties.
