That's what I can't understand.

Long standing/regular posting Sunderland fans can easily get a ban for calling out WUM but obvious WUM of non Sunderland fans get on here without question and continue to annoy and wind up.

For those of you who ONLY want to talk about SAFC and football.
All off topic threads will be deleted

This headline needs to be updated to include 'including accepted none SAFC fans'

Outed annoying Mags or imposters need to be sharpishly banned.

On a general note, would you say that the lack of sellout at football games nowadays actually means football is less popular than it was?

It's our national sport and it's not all to do with pricing that people don't attend as much.

I don't think football is as big in this country as it was 20 years ago.

I actually think other sports have caught up a bit.

I think people actually do other things with their Saturdays now.

Its a fair observation for Leeds, I guess

Yes they have been granted special dispensation as the rules were changed whilst they were already in the Premier League and because they have corporate and boxes below in lower bowl they won the argument regards logistics of moving away fans so the Premier League have let them off. As we would be newly promoted we wont have the option. Steve Davison mentioned it in one of the supporters meetings not long after he became Chief Operating Officer.

Steve Davison is probably wrong though

Newcastle have had away fans in the gods since they extended to 52k in 2001 and because they were in the PL when the rules changed and they put the case to the PL that its impossible for them to configure SJP to accommodate away fans in the lower tier for PL games for both logistics and safety reasons they have had dispensation like we did even though we made the change in 2012 to move the away fans. Now because we haven't been in the PL since 2017 we could no longer house all the away fans up in the NSU when we return.

I assume we could if we put across a case that was accepted, like the mags.

Have they?

I look at many clubs across the UK who used to sell out regularly and don't anymore.

Obviously there are some who are doing well at the moment and crowds are good but I remember years ago lots of clubs selling out regularly.

Even in the prem half the clubs don't sellout.

Eh? Only Southampton in the Premier League weren't selling out every week last season. The other 19 either sold out every game or the vast majority. Most PL clubs are having to lock out 1000s of fans every week.

f***ing hell, man. They will always be utterly obsessed with us. Even in league one they were showing up to our games. Now they’re the puppet entity of an oppressive and immoral state with money to burn….they still can’t get past it.

We live rent free in their heads because they know we are everything they pretend to be, but aren’t.

It will never happen, its all about clicks, thats why the spammer is tolerated and there is no limit to its cut and pasting
 
I reckon three will be loads who have heard about all the chew on with tickets, saw that it's on Sky, and decided not to bother.
