Town on that day will be hideous. Loads of LADs clad in designer gear bouncing around waiting for it to go 'off'
Then the middle aged men doing similar trying to recreate their youth.

Don’t go then mate. It’s not rocket science. The owner has explained the rise is to cover the costs of the police and that’s understandable.

I've said in numerous posts it's understandable. Chill. Just showing theres 2 sides to the argument. It's a valid point too

In my opinion he has. That’s not a criticism of the bloke I just think he’s made a misjudgement on this occasion.

He literally hasn’t. Have you even read the explanation? Of course you haven’t.

Newcastle have demanded a full allocation of away tickets. Given the policing costs associated with it what did you expect them to do? Force the club to make a loss just so you can pay £3? Get real.

Tweet from Mr Donald.

@stewartdonald3: I appreciate it has gone up but Newcastle have asked 4 a lot of tickets & the Police bill, stewarding & general cost of the game etc is so much more due to that than the other games. We have tried to keep it sensible & we r certainly not likely to make much money based on costs.

Will be interesting to know how many fans they're expecting. Presuming the ticket prices have been set to budget for us making a profit with 'x' amount.

Could everyone stop pissing their pants about the prospect of trouble and get off their arses and support OUR team and city. It's the attitude prevailing on in this thread that is half the reason the fuckers have the attitude they have towards us that is because half our fans can't be arsed.

This.....

let's get of our backsides(those who can get to the game) and support the club and more importantly support and show our pride in the City of Sunderland and don't give the fuckers any chance to take the piss and show us up.

When we leave the City's pubs and cross the bridge, that buzz will be there and the thought of them beating us and rubbing our noses in it for God knows how long should ensure a cracking atmosphere.

I for one will be singing my heart out for the Lads.

Be proud and be proud to be SAFC.

@stewartdonald3:No under competition rules they are entitled 10 percent of our capacity so just short of 5000 tickets potentially.

Think he'll give them this many ?

To be fair they have yet to experience a Derby and in the podcasts when you listen it does seem like they aren't close to knowing what to expect. Think they thought it was just going to be an Oxford vs Swindon but on a greater scale.

I think they'll give them 5,000.

The pricing for me is totally academic. I take exception to the fact that they will have fans present. I honestly expected SAFC to raise doubts with the police, police to agree, and away fans to then be banned as otherwise public safety could be put at risk. Look at the calibre of people who turned out at Vale Park in the Stoke end, toilet cubicles smashed, windows put out, flares hoyed onto the pitch, children terrified ..... these kind of games have a history of trouble.

I think we should have banned away fans yes. It’s not even their first team. If the roles were reversed do you genuinely think we would be allowed to take thousands to the landfill ?

Yes we would most certainly be taking thousands to the landfill. Probably 5,200 to be precise.

Ah so now it isn’t Donald’s fault but the police’s?

Keep up the good work.
