Im just saying owners shouldn't ignore these things. Tbh mate I've always had a strong opinion on managers (either for or against) but I just feel a bit 'meh' when it comes to Ross.

Really want to start giving managers some proper time and and allow them.to make mistakes. But I've struggled with the football this season and. I see no pattern of play or identity on the pitch and feel we've regressed compared to the start of the season which concerns me.

I have my opinions marra and I'm certain that Donald will too. There'll be some sort of inquest when we know what division we're in. However until I know the outcome I'm just going to turn up and support the team. We can't really control much on Saturday night, so not going because you're pissed means you're spiting yourself.

The OP needs to factor in exiles . Travel for a night match at late notice if you don’t drive etc.
Loads of reasons.
270 mile round trip for me which I have driven probably in excess of 150 times for an evening kick off.
Think about it

No issue with that. But I have seen comments about refusal to attend solely on the grounds of being “fed up”

I think people are just a bit hacked off at how limp we’ve been throughout the season. Barring a few games you wouldn’t call it entertaining. Rightly or wrongly I think the minimum people expect of Sunderland at this level is a bit of enjoyment. 15 1-1 draws is a diabolical output really from Ross and the club given the resources we have relative to everyone else. Turgid as someone else said is a very accurate description and that style of play is down to the manager

I keep hearing people using this as an excuse for kicking the club, but the fact is that we had to clear out best part of the team to reduce the massive wage bill and have also had to clear the last £40 million of debt.. This is where our resources have been focused on..
 
In our time at the SoL we've only ever sold-out one cup match at home.
There was no way we are going to get a big crowd by charging full price, especially when you can watch it on Sky.

Its not nonsense, look at their crowds in the Championship despite a shite start. Ours went through the floor, theirs didnt. Tbf we are talking about getting around 50% of capacity, do you reckon they would? Seems to me that anybody arguing we have the best fans in the North East is now just spouting out of their arses, if the numbers end up being a shit as it seems they might that argument is well and truly over.

Slightly different cases.
They went down and kept hold of a big name manager and spent 65 million on a full rebuild.
We went down after a season of David Moyes, ended up with Simon Grayson and spent Jack shit.

Which match was that?

Just out of interest and because I can't be arsed to look it up.
 
No way will we get a big crowd charging full price on a Saturday night when it is on Sky.
Crazy to think otherwise
 
already got mine, but i do think the ko time is shite, especially for those who have to get transport connections. should have been 5pm latest
