Got to admit have meet many Sunderland fans while on holiday.
I have the same 2 weeks off every year and it corresponds with their fortnight off.
Most say we are cheats believing we are the only reason they are shit most delusional fans out there living in the shadow of Newcastle.
Twice we have played them live on the telly while I was on holiday first time they sent a 7 year old to my table to taught me and my son who was about 5 himself a bar full of them and just us two City fans.
We won 2-0 think the second goal was a penalty (cheated again) first game of the season early 2000s
Should have seen the bar as we were the only 2 cheering bar a couple of Newcastle fans what a great day that was.
Loved it hated them ever since, horrible horrible fans.
Yes agree, they should open up all of the North Stand now, people will hold off as they don't want to sit front row right in the corner which is all that's available with 2 or more togetherWhat is our capacity atm, I don’t mean the registered stadium capacity of 33.000ish, I mean the actual amount of seats available to purchase capacity ?
Once you deduct the ‘No man’s land’ in the South stand and the empty balcony in the main stand, what is left, no more than 28.000 I wouldn’t have thought and 4000 of those are allocated for away fans.
Its always difficult to sell-out to capacity (24,000 for Cov fans ) as when it gets near capacity you end up with a load of single seats and seats in areas people don’t particularly want to sit, so we struggle to sell them.
So we up about 2000 under capacity.
If the club were to open all areas giving fans more choice and the opportunity to sit with their mates, families etc I honestly think we’d be seeing gates now 26.000 to 30.00.
Somethin's gone mad in the world when we are trying to charge kids of working class parents £25 a ticket so we can pay players £20,000 a week to reach the promised land of paying players £50,000 a week with even higher ticket prices.
Hull are an extreme example the other way. They are under priced in general - They do not actually have season tickets in name but a monthly membership scheme - its undervaluing its product

What's that got to do with anything?Do WBA have the same ground situation as us.
What if the rent is based on bums on seats?i
No I'm stating that the deal could be based on a % of each seat.
They been given 4k?i think sunderland have 450 tickets left, and looking at selling out the away end
Surely that’s a 4K allocation not 3K if we’re selling them tickets in blocks 7-10?

Block 10=1062
Block 9 =1072
Block 8=1112
Block 7=987
You’ve been coming out with inaccurate statements & exaggerations all day- “11,000 left for sale” and so on.Are you suggesting it is? So we're trying to suppress crowds by pricing people out because the higher pricing obviously reduces gates. That's one batshit conspiracy..
The capacity can’t be 30.00 there’s a no man’s land full of seats probably 3000 to 4000, there’s a balcony full of seats probably 1500, so that’s 4500 to 5000 seats that aren’t available to purchase, which would make our capacity around 28000.The current capacity is 30,000, as we achieved at the last but one league game.
The last paragraph I don't get, you think 4000 people are refusing to go because they haven't opened block 27, despite there being availability all round the ground?
I genuinely just think they are that stupid.The capacity can’t be 30.00 there’s a no man’s land full of seats probably 3000 to 4000, there’s a balcony full of seats probably 1500, so that’s 4500 to 5000 seats that aren’t available to purchase, which would make our capacity around 28000.
Of course people will be put off buying tickets if the look online and see a sprinkling of single seats available, people like to attend with mates, family etc and I doubt there’s many that go on their own.
I could understand leaving areas closed when we were attracting crowds of 10 to 15000 but we’re now attracting crowds around 25000 so why not make every seat availablewhat does the club achieve by not doing so.
Email or phone to checkAm I right in thinking that I can upgrade one of the kids' season tickets to an adult ticket for the day. Do I just do this on the day at the ticket office?
By insisting on selling almost every available seat before opening another block, and then almost selling that before opening another the club are definitely putting people off and costing themselves revenue.I genuinely just think they are that stupid.
The North Stand no-mans land definitely needs looking at, watched the Spurs/Man Utd match at the weekend historically not the friendliest fixture and the no-mans land was about 6 seats and a line of stewards.The capacity can’t be 30.00 there’s a no man’s land full of seats probably 3000 to 4000, there’s a balcony full of seats probably 1500, so that’s 4500 to 5000 seats that aren’t available to purchase, which would make our capacity around 28000.

Somebody needs to message Hull asap, they are not maximising revenues. Idiots
I understand what you’re saying, honestly I do. I’m playing devils advocate slightly.
I just find it hilarious that people think 22k home fans is poor
If it is down to bums on seats safe standing areas can't come quick enough.What if the rent is based on bums on seats?
Out of how many ?Sunderland have 350 left.
3000Out of how many ?
