Really don’t get why regulars don’t go to these cup games (unless it’s down to cost of course) I generally find them enjoyable to watch with less pressure of the league , few beers and 3pm kick off in fa cup, it’s sad how the competition has went so down hill in the minds of fans (not just ours)

With no pressure on, its all about football in these games, probably the most enjoyable of the season if you like football in that the worst case scenario is even if the game is s**t and were s**t it doesn't matter. Has no baring on the main priority at all.
Like a good old late season game with nowt riding on it you can finally enjoy - not that we've had many of them mind
Apprently could use the cash too so even more disappointing at the projected gate
The FA Cup is the new league cup, the league cup is the new ZDS cup. Thanks Premier and Champions League.

Bought 4 ,
Couldn't do it at home for some reason ,the map wasn't working ,
Did it at work using mobile data and it was fine
 
6 of us usually meet up at the pub before home games - but tomorrow the other 5 can't make it. It might be something to do with FA Cup round one...

My first match at Roker was in 1969 but tomorrow will mark a first for me - going to a home match on my own. I'm still looking forward to it, like.

I have, however, done a couple of SAFC aways on my own (while working away) - Cambridge and Leicester - and think lone attendance is still better than not going.

We seem to be affected more than the others. Of the other 2 big NE teams Middlesbroughs last home attendance in the FA Cup was 16k (Ave league gate about 20k) amd the Mags last FA Cup home attendance was 52k.

Done this lots of times, home and away over the years. Always crack on with the people around, mates for the day, and in some cases new mates for life.

And what else is there to do on a Saturday at 3pm?

We have total apathy really. You can tell this by how many fans leave early/miss kick off

Fa cup round 1 is embarrassing.
But yeah, even a few years ago, our home attendance v man u in the semi final was shocking considering it was a semi final.
