Wish someone had told me about cheap tickets in the prem. Can't compare the mags as they had the John Hall revolution. Down to 14k gates before keegan arrived. We, on the other hand, have not had our time in the sun but keep on coming. Not sure any clubs would get our crowds with our history.problem is..the attedamces in the prem are bullshit...ver cheap tickets and thousands of free tickets every week flattered the attendance..one of the reasons CM is so skeptcial of safc fans is he knows this..he was told this by a buisness acquaintance when he bought safc..and as a result has never been that nice about attendaces..
league one attendance is remarkable.
newcastle fans go to games..they havent had an easy decade either..relagted twice...still get higher average than sfac in the prem..
im supporting safc..
charlie will two as he has months of work and moeny in safc so will want to see he has half a chance of a return on that..
yes great crowds for big days...
not the same as great corwds every day..which is what is needed..
prem attendance figures are a crock of shit..loads of freebies..
imagine other clusb sold STs for same price safc did..their crowds would be much much bigger..
Bit worrying CM does not know about our potential, and reckons our premiership crowds were rubbish based on what someone told him. What about under Reid and what about when we were only team apart from man u to take full away allocation every game. Everyone in football knows sunderland have got and can get huge crowds. 50 years of shit has dented that a bit but we can get that back. If CMs views are accurately being reflected by kildaire then he really is out of touch.337255
Mate, the free tickets only increased because of falling attendances.
They were given to business partners and donated to local community initiatives. This free tickets accusation is just a bit of a red herring TBH, two or three thousand if that...
The club has been run like a circus show which has contributed massively to the decline of attendances.
So... If someone can come in... invest, run the club professionally applying some forward thinking/planning, instill an identity which is replicated from the academy upwards, the crowds will return.
I don't blame anyone who would rather keep their hard earned cash and watch the games in the warmth of a pub or their arm chair, coz the club hasn't done anything of note to get their MoJo back.
My word. You sound like a mag. Loads of freebies! 40k+ crowds every season watching garbage. You mentioned 10th place. It was garbage and we skirted relegation all season.problem is..the attedamces in the prem are bullshit...ver cheap tickets and thousands of free tickets every week flattered the attendance..one of the reasons CM is so skeptcial of safc fans is he knows this..he was told this by a buisness acquaintance when he bought safc..and as a result has never been that nice about attendaces..
