Crowd for sat

[hank williams]

we really won't be a 'national laughing stock' , stop being a drama fanny.

What are the latsest figures marra

So many bloody excuses.. The fact is that a low crowd for our most important game in years will make us a national laughing stock, and it is hard to argue against it..



It will not because there will be no cash turnstiles..

Behave yourself man. Noone cares about us apart from skunks.

Some nuggets commenting here like. Do you support the club or do you support the sport of football? Might as well give up on Sunderland and go and support Manchester City.

Get your lazy arses to the match on Saturday and stop being an absolute petulant entitled bunch of pissrags. “I’ve done 84 seasons as a season ticket holder but won’t be there for the biggest game of the last decade for Sunderland because my arse has dropped”

Still not as embarrassing as these idiots who will be scouring for numbers on here if we pull it off

Not as bad as the the judgemental kernts on here telling people what to do

Laughing stock is perhaps ott, but it will certainly be picked up that we have lost 10,000-15,000 fans off the back of two defeats (which is the way the press will see it).

Behave yourself man. Noone cares about us apart from skunks.

Perhaps mate, but it certainly dents our opinion that we are a big club.

Looks like about 23k sold to date inc Portsmouth and corporate. Disappointing really as we are quick to claim that we have great support. What is undoubtedly true is that we have some of the best supporters of a club in the land and lots of them. However for such an important match this turnout is not great support collectively. I am out of the country and cant go but had I been in the UK I would have done the 10 hour return journey to support the lads as I do most home games as a season card holder in Essex. The sad thing is our vocal support on the night could be the 12th man but alas it may not be..................

The referee came out after the game and apologised for f***ing up, man. It was that bad.

What agenda do I have out of interest?

No, the Bradford manager said the referee had apologised. The referee didn't "come out" and publicly say he was wrong. Unless you can prove otherwise and I missed it? I'm sure the referee will have said something along the lines of 'sorry IF I made a mistake'.

I'm not sure what agenda you have mate, perhaps it was the wrong term. I'm not sure why you would want to perpetuate a myth that the team you are meant to support only won a match by a referee clanger when that is not true. Can you explain?

Worra load of shite. Players past and PRESENT have made us a continued laughin stock. No a few thousand off a gate for a team of underachievers. Clappers can’t see it.

[Oli Wagkz]

Embarrassing.

 

[stewart10]

Everyone has their own reasons for not going.

Stop slagging those off who aren't going and just be appreciative that you are fortunate enough to be going.

Get behind the lads.

Agreed.

I reckon Mr White is being a bit modest and is actually a doctor (one for the older viewers I think}!

 

[Chop Buster]

The very simple fact remains that tens of thousands of our fans made a choice not to go a cup game against our biggest and bitterest rivals yet there's absolute outrage now when people choose not to go this game

Because that was a game that meant fuck all. This is our most important game of the season so far.

Who is the ‘bestest’ fan, one who went to Rochdale midweek, or someone who goes to a ‘big’ game at the end of the season ?

Someone who went to both That's not really my point though, the turnout for this game is too low and I think more should be making the effort to go.

Our hardcore support is second to none mate, but after that it’s a bit shit.

You can’t conpare the two games tbh mate. The mags game was against their U21s in the Checkatrade. Saturday is a play off that could have a huge impact on the club for years to come.

FWIW, I went to the mags game, as I did with all the other Checkatrade matches, and I will be there on Saturday

Sorry mate but I'm laughing as that final paragraph actually sums up the whole season for me. I'm just tired of watching us now. Back in August hopefully with the feeling that we are actually moving forwards.



Haway man folk on here calling people cowards, bell ends, shit fans and so on

Aye, using the term shit fans is a bit unnecessary and ott, and I fully take your point ref attendance v skunks.
However to choose not to go and support your team (that you've done all season fair play) in a vital game, is just ludicrous and the lame excuses make it look worse.
Aye 48000 was ott as well, as we all know it was 43000. Where will 30pc of those fkrs be on Saturday.

They will probably be in the pub slagging off the club. If we win however, they will start to support us again

Some nuggets commenting here like. Do you support the club or do you support the sport of football? Might as well give up on Sunderland and go and support Manchester City.

Get your lazy arses to the match on Saturday and stop being an absolute petulant entitled bunch of pissrags. “I’ve done 84 seasons as a season ticket holder but won’t be there for the biggest game of the last decade for Sunderland because my arse has dropped”

Still not as embarrassing as these idiots who will be scouring for numbers on here if we pull it off

f***ing spot on marra

Oh aye, after spending half an hour beforehand telling everyone what a great Wembley weekend they had and that they were part of the Trafalgar Sq party. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I love the stories people trot out when they are crawling for tickets. Pathetic twats

When Pompey fans quite rightly start singing "you cudnt sell all your tickets", I hope Safc fans present don't start jeering, I hope instead they'll take half a minute to think about it and silently curse the embarrassing stay aways instead.

 

[AC Mack]

People pick and choose if they want to go to a game or not. An extra 30,000 "fans" were desperate to be at Wembley for the checkatrade final compared to only 13,000 that turned up for a home game against our bitterest rivals

I don't remember playing Newcastle in a proper game this season. I remember playing their kids in a competition nobody cared about, which isn't the same.

Even in the final, people went for a weekend and to see us at Wembley. Everyone wanted to win as it's Sunderland at Wembley, but nobody cared about winning the trophy.

 

[Reiver]

It was their U21s.......this game v pompey is infinitely bigger and more important.

I still don't get it.

Going to London for a minor cup competition but refusing to pop round the corner for an important league match ... and, to some degree, seemingly because of a strange grudge against people who didn't turn out for a game against Newcastle's U21's.
