Attendance Thread - Mansfield Town

[Lo Ursem]

Interest in the FA cup started to wane back in the eighties in tandem with a massive drop in attendances throughout the game.
Strangely enough it is the poor relation of the FA cup, namely the League cup which is attracting large crowds. One off games over 90 minutes with no extra time and penalties seem to appeal.
I often wonder that as football is so mega popular nowadays the main reason fans go to cup games is to make sure they can actually watch a game.
Spurs, Liverpool and West Ham fans for example fill their grounds with season ticket holders therefore any cup game attracts great interest from those that otherwise could not attend.
With Sunderland it works the opposite.
We always have spare capacity therefore there is no incentive to attend cup games because tickets for league games are always readily available.

That game was utter shite mind. Flat as a fart on and off the pitch.

Well done to them. That's more than most have brought uo for league games.

They have taken 3000 tickets wether they sell them all

UPDATE:

I've updated the app so that I can manually put the block numbers in that are actually open, the downside to this is that someone will have to tell me when new ones open so that I can update the app config.

Based on what is open now, current sales show 2727, excluding away fans.

They have now added L7 @ca8msm revised capacity 5,526

Looking forward to being there to see Sunderland make there first appearance in the FA Cup in 2021. Promotion hopes fading, the challenge this season is to make the 3rd round proper

7,892 at gillingham home game in FA Cup a couple of years back according to google. Don't think we'll top that this weekend, a record low perhaps?

Surely for early rounds it’s a false economy not allowing st holders in for free
They would be buying food etc

Mansfield are entitled to 45% of the gate and would need to agree to that.

 

[Randy Savage]

I’m going like. In the Sports Bar.

 

[MADBOB THE MAKEM]

My guess would be 18,765 I think that would be our best effort, and that's how low we have sunk in this shit div.
We play shite footy most of the time, and the FA Cup has lost a lot of its magic.
