STOP TURNING UP. Only way to let them know.

I was there yesterday and it was awful. I honestly thought we were beginning to turn the corner with that little unbeaten run and the goals we were scoring but there was no positives from that at all. No cohesion or any sort of playing style whatsoever. Time is running out on Grayson now and he can't hide behind his injuries excuse either. Not sure a win against Bolton will be enough to pacify people now.

Nowhere near 27k there either. I honestly front know where they're getting these figures from. 20k max.

Not going to bother with Tuesday although I do think we'll win as they're possibly the only team worse than we are currently. Most the lads are going along to watch Shields in the FA Trophy so I'll go along there instead.

Fair play to all those who still have the stomach to go along on Tuesday night but I just haven't got it in me to sit through that twice in 4 days. It'll be a record low league crowd at the SoL despite the number they publish, and the thing is, I don't think Short will give a shit.

Stop going to the match, it's the only way to let them know the current predicament is a million miles away from acceptable. I would love to see less than 10K roll up, they'll sharp act then.

No thanks, I will be there Tuesday hoping for a win regardless who’s in charge. The crowds have already dropped massively from last last season

WE ARE THE SUNDERLAND. THE SUNDERLAND BOOT BOYS. AND WE ARE MENTAL, AND WE ARE MAD!

WE ARE THE LOYALIST... Well, apart from when the going gets tough, then some of us shit out pants and bleat on about being unacceptable.

If you don't want to go, fair enough - you stay at home. Entirely your choice. But threads like these telling other people not to go are as embarrassing as the team - and that's saying something.

I'm not sure that it will achieve anything to be honest other than to make the club less attractive to buy......... and prolong Short's ownership.

One thing it would do is make Short have to Lower his f***ing asking price.

He may think its dropping now, but 10K gates and potential relegation will see it plummet

Lets be honest, looking at Bains remit, its saving £££££££££££££££££££££s, so this would fuck them over

Exactly this.

Voting with feet will make a huge impact.

Hull boxing day 2014, we lost, Jelovic scored I think, I flew home from Ireland for Xmas and me and my dad went to the game.

I left the North-East and 2013, so it makes it hard for me to go to home games, in my defence.

30 minutes flight away

I stopped going every game even though I had a season ticket around 5 seasons ago. Didn't renew this time but I'd already decided I wasn't going to regardless of which division we ended up playing in. After 44 seasons I don't miss it, hope we turn it around but I won't be back. I'll stick to cheaper days watching non league.
 
I'm having second thoughts about going tonight tbh. Working till 6 and Dunno if I can be arsed watching Freddy Krueger play hoofball all night long.
