Crowd for sat

If we were on a run of wins and momentum had taken us into the playoffs we’d be buzzing and there’d be a large crowd.

Instead we’ve capitulated and are on the worst run of form we’ve had all season by a large margin. Despondency is keeping people away.

That said, I’m going +3 and we haven’t got our tickets yet

We've only ever sold out a single game at the SoL, in the cup and that was over 20 years ago. In an area like Sunderland the tickets need to be cheap.

Plenty on here and other social media do.

Who says we are? We've a decent hard core but plenty with only a passing interest

Sitting at 20,500 at the moment plus say 2,000 Pompey and another 1,000 corporate means its already at 23,500, shift another 2,500 each of the next two days like we did today and it will be 28,500 with the walk up to add on Saturday. The walk up will be significant and I think we will be looking at around 33,000 by kick off which is reasonable given the demands on peoples cash and the short notice and the fact the game is live on the telly.

I think if we get close to the average league gate that would be decent and the average league gate was just over 32,000 for the season.

Will they have cash turnstiles on with Portsmouth having a reduced allocation?

The point is, that having gone all season and then choose to miss this vital game when the club needs you(look at effect Liverpool fans had last night and ajax having tonight) just because you're cheesed off we didn't romp the league is beyond crap.
I don't give a, f.f. if you disagree, the FACT is, that it's a disgrace if we fail to have at least 30000 at the game.
48000 fkrs went to Wembley for a tin pot trophy ffs, where they all gone eh.

I'm going and so is my boy. Normally o couldn't really care less about attendances and not that bothered this time, but looking at numbers so far it's poor and why some have decided to not go who normally would, just because we're shit and they can't be arsed, o find odd. Their choice, but thought we had great support? Maybe not as great as we thought, but still OK.

Nowhere near great
Happy to go to TS and tell the world on social media how great we are, but then sack off a vital game. Fkn pathetic.

Go to bed man, you are clueless.
Support or don't support. I'll take the support option with 22000 others.
You won't be getting another response from me so be a keyboard warrior if u want, I don't give a fuck.

Not sure that's a good crowd mind. How many clubs get lower than their season's average for a play-off game?

Can't blame the Mags for having a field day over this.

doesnt really feel like a big game to many people though. we've been pretty bad since january, and i think most people who have actually seen us play football give us little to no chance of getting past portsmouth, not just on footballing terms but also with handling the pressure.

obviously i'm right behind the lads as much as i can, but heart of hearts i reckon we have 25% chance of getting past these over two legs. i think the end to the season has knocked the stuffing out of a lot of people. if we had went away in the first leg and played well, got a draw or something, i think it would have added at least 5k onto the home leg

not trying to make excuses, just trying to figure out why its going to be so low

I strongly recommend that you pile as much money as can muster on Pompey then as the bookies have us favourites to reach the final and joint favourites to be promoted. You clearly know something they don't and should therefore put your money where your mouth is.

I am not bothered about anyone else but me. If others dont want to go,thats fine. You are very arrogant,your parents should take away your phone and stop your pocket money you silly little boy.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, I don't think I've been arrogant. I'm also a grown man.
 
John J Rambo said:
What people do, I'm not that arsed tbh, but if we won't shift say 30k it's poor. I'll be there with my son cheering on our team, so doing all I can. Questions and the rest can wait till we know where we are.

If and it's all if at present, we don't get 30000 there, it's poor as owt.
24000 St holders will mainly go, and it's inconceivable we won't get another 6000 non St holders for this huge game.
48000 went to Wembley man, 48000.

I think if it was the second leg it would make a big difference .....you are in effect paying £20-25 to watch half a match which is live on TV...there is no winner in this game
