Exactly this and if they get in before Wednesday they are not having to pull any £££ out till July 1st and even then only £103 for a ticket.....Me and my boy going for around £15 a game, absolutely delighted and really looking forward to it.....Amazing what happens when you make football affordable for people.



How many other clubs could suffer double relegations with virtually no home wins in 3 seasons and then potentially increase the number of season tickets sold this year.

Spot on its fantastic support.

Yes double relegation is the way forward, it's the best thing that has happened to your club.Sometimes you have to reach rock bottom to go forward.If relegation hadn't happened none of the aftermath would have either, you would be celebrating staying up having escaped the worst position for years and would be looking forward with Ellis and the crew.Can't wait til we are relegated as well.

Agreed up until his last sentence, slipped straight back into stereotype and a cheap dig.

Honestly and truly, we need a clear out as well, otherwise every year we will be in a fight to avoid relegation, winning a few games a season just to stay up and flirting with the bottom three, i have said before that if it was a choice between winning a trophy and staying up, i would choose a trophy everytime and accept relegation, i once had the same argument with John Anderson and he couldn't believe my point because he seems to think that the most important thing is staying in the Premiership.It isn't as i think Sunderland will prove this season with a bouyant club and atmosphere where you will win more games than you lose, sometimes people don't understand it from a fans point of view.Especially ex players whose goal was to get as much cash as possible.

Don’t mean to be rude or nowt but fuck me no matter how bad we are we should always be the f***ing best supported club if we find ourselves in league 1!!! Unless Man Utd are playing in it.

I know we’ve been beaten down over the last 6/7 years but come on man. We’re Sunderland not some tin pot outfit

This.. Getting excited we have the biggest attendances in League 1 is very small minded tinpot club mindset

You spoilt your post by saying that.

Read the rest of the text. What the double relegation then followed.

What has followed? Nothing at the moment, we are a league 1 team with new owners. So far they have came in and said the right things and hopefully they'll do the right things. A double relegation is never a good thing.

Not often you get a mag talking sense on here, but this is spot on.

Nowt wrong with constant mid table if you you see a bit of quality and the odd cup run now and then, but does anyone really enjoy watching constant relegation battles and dire football in the premiership. Far better to bounce around between Premiership and Championship and have a bit of excitement. Don’t mind the odd survival, but doing it for 6 years does wear you down.
