The owners have been excellent given where we were.

So basically you are saying its the fans fault? You need to get real as the support has been phenomenal given that we are in Div 3.

The negative football and tactics have been horrible to watch this season given that we are in Div 3. That IS the managers fault.

I dont need to read anything I can see it with my own eyes on the pitch. Way way way not good enough. Sorry Jack.

We will have to agree to disagree.

In terms of numbers, yes the support has been phenomenal.

This is the bit I just don’t get. Only one player has looked a cut above this league, absolutely no one else. Criticise Ross for other things, but not this. I heard all this guff last year when our players were too good to go down seemingly.

The players are not world beaters and player recruitment should have focused on getting taller, stronger, pacey players.

That said these players are way good enough to have been automatically promoted.

Or do fuck of man.

Before this season it was a case of 'I'm not coming until Short is gone' or 'I'm not watching a bunch of

If you can't get behind the current team then who can you get behind?

Do we have to be playing like Man City before people turn up?

I don't think anyone expects us to play like Man City. A bit of excitement now and again isn't too much to ask for is it?

Charlton:
Average attendance - 11k, Playoff attendance already over 20k

Portsmouth:
Average attendance - 18k, Playoff game already sold out at 19k+

Us:
Average attendance - 32k, Boxing day gate of 46k, League game against Portsmouth - 40k, Playoff game - under 25k

I'm gutted to be saying this but our stay away support is letting the club down here.

I am the first one to praise our support, and there have been so many occasions when we have been unbelievable, but this is just shattering the good image we have.

Are you trying to say that we are the only set of fans who make plans, have work, have kids, are gannin to our second cousin's, dog's, budgie's wedding? Fuck off man.

We have a hardcore of support who are there through thick and thin, which is why our away attendances are consistently excellent, but we have a huge element of fair weather twats who claim to be 'Sunlun til I die' while they watch it in the pub.

Where are all those who ran to the ticket office to get a Walsall ticket for a purchase history for Wembley? I hope their next shits a cactus.

I've heard it many times our hardcore support is 20-25k which will always be the backbone of the club.

I actually think the atmosphere will be great regardless of attendance as those who do bother to make the effort for this will be right behind the lads from KO. Don't find it embarrassing for the club or those who attend.

However for people simply not bothering to turn up & offer support to a group of players that have given there all for the shirt all season, then be scrambling for Wembley tickets IF we make it is shocking really.

Exactly, goals don’t count for more in one or the other. Both are huge, but for each team you’d probably say the home game is the one you place more significance on winning especially when it’s played first so you can give yourself the best chance possible of going into the second leg with a cushion.

In fairness it’s not as if we’ve been in the top 2 all season and then fallen out at the last minute. It’s been looking like we’d have to settle for the play offs for a while, or going to the wire at best which it just about did. However I wouldn’t criticise anyone who can’t make it because they have other commitments. I just don’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to go if you don’t have other commitments, could make it and could afford to go and class themselves as a Sunderland supporter when it’s a crucial game and last chance saloon for promotion.

Good point, anyone who has attended the majority of games this season will see a play off place as no shock.

We've not looked a automatic promotion side to me all season, other than short spells in a handful of games.

Given the form of the 2 & us playing catch up, this outcome shouldn't be a surprise!

five of them have won promotion from thei league-thats not the same as being a cut above-but it does mean promotion should have been acived..five of them plus aidan mac and half a season of maja is the envy of every manager in this league..
 
We all know what a big crowd can do, i'm not happy with a play off finish or Jack Ross' strange subs at times. But I will be there Sat cheering on with my son. Now isn't the time to try and say because of this and that i'm not going. At least lets do our bit to support, if the players don't achieve then a lack of support cannot be an excuse

Did you actually see it like? After the game I saw @dangermows repeatedly mentioning that goal line technology on sky had shown the ball wasn't in, but I was fairly certain he was just on a wind up. No one else seemed to have seen it, and no one on social media or anywhere else has paused the footage of the goal line technology being shown on sky to demonstrate that it wasn't in. There were big debates on Twitter and the likes, surely if sky had proved it stayed out a still image of that would be all over?

No wind up marra. Was on SSN. I looked about for footage of it to post on here, which I couldn't find. Like you I'm surprised it's not about mind, presumed I was just shit at searching as not on the likes of Twitter.
