They might take into account those who bought for either legs for Wembley

I think before the do that, they will prioritise season ticket holders over people who bought 12 game season tickets at Christmas.

It may be we can incorporate both in our allocation, but if not then I expect they will split those groups in phases.

Edit - As per message above you could also put new season ticket holders in that second group.

Exactly. It's ridiculous that we chastise people who only go occasionally - there could be dozens of reasons why and football doesn't have to be all or nothing like it is for many of us.

The idea of a 'hardcore' is also slightly ridiculous to me too - people drift in and out of support for family reasons, financial reasons, get too old, leave the region, come back etc etc. They can still be proper supporters just because personal circumstances mean they can't or don't go to every game, or have to pick and choose. And when we have low crowds, the assumption that those present are the 'hardcore' is silly too - some of them may be obsessives who never miss a game, but others will be occasional fans who just happen to be around that day/have some money/fancy taking in a game/tourists/whatever. I was in plenty of c15K crowds at Roker when I was just an occasional attendee as a kid...but wouldn't have considered myself 'hardcore' at the time (I was obsessed, but didn't go regularly because nobody would take me or I didn't have the money to go). I'm now probably what some would consider hardcore (at least in terms of a home fan, ST for decades, though only an occasional away game these days).

Also, like with anything, those that only go occasionally sometimes then become those who go always, simply because they get the bug for it. Welcome them into the fold, don't exclude, appreciate the fact they are there FFS. We all have to start somewhere.

Don’t understand this uber fan stuff like, I had a heart attack and was at the game the same week. Or I’d just finished a round of chemo the Friday before a game and dragged my arse on two buses and sat through a defeat. None of that makes me any different to anyone else that pays their money and goes. Be it two games a season three games or had a season ticket for years what does it matter. Proper strange thing and can only assume it’s coming from people that haven’t had a struggle in life when you get that reality check that at the end of the day it’s a game then I guess you get the Uber fan posts.

Most of them are donkeys years ago things are very very different now. Football didn’t cost half a weeks wage to take a family back then For example. Not to mention you can watch football in pretty much anything anywhere. All of that and everything else pulling for attention it’s amazing a club that’s been a laughing stock for best part of 15 years is getting over 40k average. I live in horden not a million miles away but if I miss the train I’m completely fucked. The transport is an absolute joke tbh if you don’t drive.

I trust Horden is still a Sunderland hotbed - at least the local side have revived. Passing through the place recently, it seems the town, at first glance, hadn't change much but one of the old timers there said it was a million miles from the days when the pit was thriving. Coming into Easington, I noticed row after row of houses decked with rusting, obsolete, sky dishes. It doesn't seem five minutes when a sky dish was the must have thing.
The world has changed and so has football. Wish I could turn the clock back ! But hey, the young uns growing up know no different and it's their world now - not mine anymore. My old man raved about Shack - his father, Carter. Who will our younger generation talk about ?

It’s a strange mix if I’m honest mate, see a lot of Newcastle tops around here since the blood money came in. Still mostly Sunderland I would think but yeah it reminds me of me a lot of southwick the rough parts of it the squares etc where I lived in the 80/90s it’s very run down a lot of houses with those fake doors and windows boarded up and a lot of immigrants and transplants from down south.

I remember when easington front street was completely full of people. You’d have to walk on the road if you were in any sort of hurry. Shopping for a few bits was a social event that could take my mother most of the day.

I don’t think they would do loads of phases, they may well just put 12 game, 6 game and new season ticket holders in same 2nd phase if they included 6 game pack ones, then a final 3rd general sale if any left.

People keep asking why the front of the South Stand always looks only 3/4 full even though it was showing as sold out days before kickoff.
Well there's the answer.

Those are prime seats in concession areas.
Some people will have paid full whack to sit in the concourse without that option.

This happens every big game.

It's an absolute joke, why are these just not always on sale?

They're crowd control blocked seats, they don't use them unless they have too (Which says that they're running out of blocks now). The front rows go all way round to West Stand half way line
