Attendance Thread - Watford

[JackL]

I'm not talking about on the balance sheet or FFP breakdown.

I'm talking about the actual expenditure. What is the point of spending 50-60m on an extension that will very very rarely be filled. Less than 6 times per year.

When the club is not investing in anything, why on earth are they going to throw that money towards something that they'll never get back before selling the club or be paying back with very little gains.

People are absolutely mental if they want us to have 20k empty seats week after week. It looks great when it's full, not when it's half empty.

Its delusional and bordering on obsessional

I hope we never start getting 60k+. It’s bad enough getting a piss or a pint when there’s 30k.

The NFL in Sunderland?

National Fat league .

Be surprised if we did, there is not many teams in the world that get 60K plus, think its about 10-12 teams.

Let’s get the ticket phone lines working first before mouthing off about extensions ffs

Off topic but often wondered what sort of crowds we’d get if the stadium was easier to get too. Say the metro line was extended to Washington, or public transport from Durham was easier.

Jesus, you’re miserable aren’t you.

Bus into Durham then Sunderland bus is more than a two hour journey for me. Quicker to get bus then train and metro.

They are working just no staff to answer them.

Keep staff cost down by employing no f*cker.

Piss tubes to be fitted to each seat.

Exactly, metro line being extended to more of Sunderland and Washington would make a huge difference I think.

Stage fright at the urinals is bad enough.

I think I'm still thawing out from that game, was baltic with the wind chill added in

Someone said it was -8 at half time and it got colder.

 

[Secret Visage]

I disagree. I think it would look better with seats behind both goals. And corners. (A bit like Old Trafford and Celtic Park. But that's just my opinions.

It's 66,000 not 63,000. 11,000 extra all the way from South to North

It's not, its 63

Na. 63K was always the limit per the original plans.

It certainly was.

55 followed by 63.

Those who know, know.

Could make a footbridge over the river into the town centre.

That’s in the plans for the redevelopment round the ground / riverside isn’t it? Looks like a bridge directly from vesta tilleys.
