Why Can't 80% Of Season Ticket Holders Be A***d To Go Today?

I'm not worrying a jot about what other people are doing I can assure you. However when discussing our big club status with fans of other clubs I don't like the rug being pulled out from under my feet due to our shitty attendance record in cup matches over the last 20 years. I reiterate in my opinion you should be there if you can afford to be.

😭😭
Still waiting - why should I be there?
 
Been to Portsmouth, QPR, Rotherham, Crewe, Sheff Wed and it’s a 200 mile round trip to hone games which I’ve been to all of them.
Giving myself a rest and actually wouldn’t bother me one but if we lost cos we could do without any more games
Another valid point, whilst I’d never actively want us to lose, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if we did and didn’t have to play anymore games
 
Me and the lad have season tickets but given we are 2.5 hours away we don't tend to go to to any midweek games or these type of low crowd cup games.

I think if I actually lived in Sunderland I would definitely go.
 
I can’t be arsed to watch another dire Lee Johnson masterclass if that’s ok with the OP.

plus I’m ticking the dutiful husband box as I’ve been to two aways in the last seven days then away midweek to Moldova.
I’m having to go the the empire with the missus to see Riverdance tonight.

diddly dee an arl that shyte. Can’t wait 🤔
You should have ‘accidentally’ booked tickets for the Empire for tomorrow night instead mate.
 
Hard to roll it into the cost though as you don’t know what rounds you’ll get each season. Mightn’t get any extra games. So you’d have to give them away for free, but can see why the club don’t want to do that

Could be for say the first 3 rounds if we don't progress just one of those things, I dunno, there must be a better way of doing it.

Pretty sure Man Utd fans had an obligation to purchase european tickets with their season card. But then it's probably easier for a top club with world class players.
 
Should factor in these games to season card costs imo, make each game a fiver or a tenner or something for the first few rounds. Unsure if many would go even if it was free though.
Spot on. Reserve games should also be included in your season ticket price as they used to be. Pretty sure this is not so now??
 
This is a terrible thread.
Why are we still obsessed with attendances?
I know it’s one of the few good things we have left to be proud of, but it’s really of no consequence in the greater scheme of things.
It seems that the mixed message on
here is
“it’s ok not go”
but it’s a disgrace if we only get 6k!

Don't think they are allowed to as the away team gets a cut of the gate receipts.
 
The FA couldn't be arsed to respect the cup - semis at Wembley, and finals before the end of the season, sometimes on the same day as league games.

Managers of Arsenal and ManU turned it into a second rate competition by starting the trend of putting out reserve teams to play.

Resulted in drop off in fans, and those left were watching a reserve game in a near empty stadium.

If the FA, and clubs aren't arsed with it, people have got better things to be doing with their weekends.
 
I'm going to sit in a pub this afternoon watching the T20 England v SA, warmer, more entertaining and likely less frustrating.
 
I'm waiting for the lad to drop as we had made other arrangements that fell through but If there had been a cash turnstile We'd have would probably have gone but it would be a late decision. I cant be arsed with online purchases and the extra fee for a spontaneous action.
 
There’s a few reasons I’ll not be there:

No one else wants to go

The game itself will probably be shit

Sitting in the east stand with a few thousand others with no atmosphere, looking at an empty stadium was boring every other time I’ve done it

I cant be arsed and can’t get motivated for the first round of the FA cup
