How come so few people turn up for midweek games?

Looked about 25k there tonight. Empty seats everywhere, front of the North Stand virtually deserted and it all made for a terrible atmosphere. Team was poor but playing in front of that wouldn't have motivated them.

Going back to the Roker Park days, more often than not that was when the old place was at its best. Most of the best atmospheres I remember at Roker Park were night time games. It always felt better under the lights. A bit more magical. Have to say they are horrible now. Absolutely soul destroying again tonight.

Havay man get behind the lads no matter what day we play! Top 6 still very much there for us but everyone has to do their bit!

Anyone from washington also had to walk/cycle/taxi or ask for lift then same for return!
 

Nearly 4 years since I've been to a home game on a Saturday never mind midweek ! Too f***ing frustrating to even thinking of coming back 😠 😡 😤 😣
 
Sorry I couldn't make tonight but I'm currently suffering from a throat infection, a severe ear infection and I'm blind in 1 eye due to an eye infection... I'll pop my sicknote in for you

CaptainMag piping up again. You need to make it less obvious. You’ll be one of the mags using the picture of the first few rows of the North Stand no doubt.

A picture can be deceiving, you use this one and all of a sudden it looks full to capacity

Bus strikes are killing it for loads of people. I could only get there because I was offered a lift, wished they didn't offer f***ing Baltic and shit. Definitely a fair few turning in the south stand mind, thinks few more performances like that and the knives will be out.
