Boro thread

It's a tricky one. You've always been able to practically give tickets away because you have a bigger fanbase than us, who'll take advantage of the cheap/free tickets.

You've also got the dilemma that the SOL has always been too big for you.

Gibson could charge similar prices but I'm not sure whether it would result in a massive increase in our average attendance, particularly if we were struggling on the pitch, so this could then mean the club lose out on matchday revenue in the long run.

We do very well to average the crowds we average given the pricing.

It's a shame Sunderland don't do that any more to get younger fans in. I'm a teacher at a school in Ingleby and Boro have some cracking deals to get the kids in, they do it a few times a year. My son has a Boro season ticket and he's 16 and that was well priced I thought. I just think it's disgraceful the adult prices. I know lads that have been st holders for years and Gibson has priced them out.

Didn't realise we would still be playing you this season. I thought yous must have won the league the day you beat us the way you celebrated.

You have a bigger fanbase than us and it's pretty obvious to see why. You're a one club city and have a massive catchment area.

In the Premier League you were giving away thousands of free tickets, and for as long as I can remember your tickets have been cheap.

We've never given away free tickets, just subsidised ones and that hasn't happened for years. Boro offer schools subsidised tickets at least 4 times a year....which is great by the way. Boro being a one team city with a huge geographical catchment area should get better crowds but greedy Gibson has put pay to that

Who prevented the big crowds before Gibson?
