Season ticket waiting list

I don’t mean to be a dick here but I do not fund it believable that the majority (not all but most) of people don’t have a credit card or a rainy day or emergency fund so of a few hundred quid, couple of grand etc

Loads and loads of people don't. Alot of the ones who do won't have nearly a grand nest egg to drop on the match like.

39% of adults in the whole country have no savings at all. That percentage will be higher in the north east.

Credit card

Is a season card an emergency though.
Its a few quid to find for a lot of people I think tbh.

Wey that is exactly what you’re being. A lot of people in Sunderland will have that money put away for holidays/their house/family if they even have it at all which a lot won’t. We’re not an affluent area and 600/800 qid is a lot of money to most the city

You can get 0% cards like. I have one

Some people won't have a good enough credit history for it.

People aren't saying that its impossible, I could pay it off or get a credit card if I desired. But not everybody can.

All people said was that it would cut a huge chunk from the waiting list and its a certainty that it would.

The last email I got which arrived yesterday did not mention chronological order just phase 1 and phase 2

They need to get a proper list sorted this summer. That requires yearly renewal etc and a proper place in the queue. Its just going to be a free for all and I really don't get why its so half arsed.

Or could there be more added or removed before Monday do you reckon?

I joined the eldest lad up on waiting list on Saturday 21st feb. Just dug out his email confirmation from club and it was sent to him on Monday 23rd in afternoon.
Wonder if he is eligible for phase 1
He’s number 2400 on list

No, I know my own personal finances and extrapolated I can’t be the only one where it’s a lot of money up front

In fact if you read my posts I quite literally said I don’t know anyone else’s finances and I’m prepared to be told this isn’t an issue for anyone else
Even in that post you quote I say “surely” it’ll put people off - not that it’ll absolutely do so

I think it’s a pretty fair assumption not everyone has £600-870 ready to go with 4 days notice (they never mentioned it was going to be up front), but as I said - maybe that’s just me.

Yeah. That's short notice. I use a 0% credit card to finance mine but you need more than 4 days to apply for and get it obviously.

I never got an update since on numbers but would be surprised if it’s over 3k, guess the win against Saudi may have added a few on?

The club capped it for a long time I believe?

I've a feeling it will just be first come first served for everyone in phase 1 on Monday at 5pm there might even be a queue system with a random queue number who knows
