Who choose not to go to the final?

[AndrewP]

Did you sell your ticket on ?

No. I didn't buy one. I let my mate use my number.

 

[JERUDONG No.10]

Me...work away in Portsmouth during the week. Have a ST but don’t get to all of the games and with the game being on Mothering Sunday it was a no go for me.

 

[Falconhoof]

I can't see us finishing top two and opted for the play off final (should we make it) instead.

 

[SPUFF]

I kna 3 season card holders who aren't

They didn't even gan to the other games in the round

Hank there’ll be plenty people in that category.

Im absolutely buzzing for sunday but done no other checkatrade games.
Work, mrs, family etc, some were impossible, others decided to watch on the box instead, league games take enough of yer time.

But a stress free lads, dad, son, granda weekend away, bring the fecker on.

Hopefully were not in it next year but they need to abolisg this daft u21 involvement urgently and let these leagues have their own cup back.

 

[Smartin]

I’m not going, I’ve been to no other checkatrade games so it didn’t seem right jumping on the bandwagon at the end in a competition I had no interest in until we played the mags.

If it’s playoffs, I’ll go if we get to Wembley.

 

[Deleted member 6830]

Me aren’t too bothered about the comp/didn’t go to any of the checkatrade games

Good on ya.
Too many who said "not going to waste time going to see us play
Stoke, carlisle etc as mickey mouse competition" have now suddenly decided its worth going to..
Congrats on sticking to your principles.

 

[Struts]

Not going. Too much money at short notice and I can't get excited for it.

 

[Fact Hunt]

I chose not to go either.
I will be at Wembley at the end of May, if we get there though!

 

[Kent_Mackem]

I chose not to go - I let someone else use my customer number.

Same here. Hope we win though, as zi do every match. I just don’t like the big queues to get home from Wembley (usually poses off).

 

[maghater]

Me, still think it is a pointless competition. Hope everyone who goes has a cracking weekend , it's just not for me.

 

[Botchie]

There will be a few I would imagine, judging by how many were saying it's a pointless competition.

 

[Mr Whippy]

Me. Friends wedding on the Saturday and it's my mrs' (no) first Mothers Day with the little man so taking us all out for a meal

 

[RichD]

I would have thought as a Sunderland fan people would want to/try to get to games and support their/you team

 

[Scarborough mackem]

So you won't even watch it on the tele on Sunday then?

I also gave my ticket away - to my nephew. Not interested at all in the competition though hope we win for team's confidence sake. Certainly won't watch it live on TV although might watch highlights if we win.

 

[DJP]

I'm not going as I was already going away this weekend. I gave my season card ref to one of my marras so he can go.

I'm hoping to get back in time to watch it in town on Sunday.

Does that principle not apply to round one where about 7k turned up?

 

[Dilligaf60]

Me. Someone has to keep the country supplied with oil n gas.

 

[Lewberry pie]

Me and a couple of other lads decided against it. Gave our season tickets to go family who will go. Not arsed about this cup one bit and done Wembley (old and new) many times so no attraction there. Will do play off final if that’s our route to promotion as that means something.

Have you ever seen us win at Wembley?

 

[RichD]

Does that principle not apply to round one where about 7k turned up?

I don't get the whole it's only the Checkatrade trophy blah blah I went to every home game cos Sunderland is my team

 

[TravellingMackem]

Funny how those who “chose” not to go wouldn’t have got tickets anyway
