and back to oxfords point about low attendances i think he is spot on.
i know a cup toe against notts county isnt a highlight but to know that it was only about 14k that turned up was disgracefull considerin we were at home and tickets wernt that highly proced. We as fans have a responsability to the club to put our money where our mouth is. we want sunderland to be up there, we want the best players and we want good things for the club, but alas in football nothing comes for free, we should get out in numbers game in game out, cup game or no cup game, especially at home, Im one of the lucky ones who can afford the luxury of a season ticket at home, and travel to a few away games to dependant on work, Its the guys that are there EVERY game home or away that deserve special mention though and not just for monetary reasons either, its a love thats unrivaled. rant over.
lastly though, itd be nice to see our operating profits from a match day compared to some one like villa, i say villa as they have similar fan base/ attendance etc. ?
really looking forward to chelsea game. the flags oout packed house ( hopefully) should be a night to remember!!
