Match Day Thread Sunderland v Leeds Utd Match thread / Breakfast Debate

So do you think a lot of your guys are going to be turning up for the match?

 

I'd guess at 32-35,000.
Just a guess though.

 

Could be a good atmosphere then, what do you think the score will be? I'm going for 1-2, what else would you expect

 

Well we've never kept a clean sheet so far.
I'll go for 2-1.

 

Im going 6-4 to Leeds

 

We have been allocated only 2,900 tickets for the Sunderland match.

In other news the club have announced a fantastic double match package for the next 2 home games.

Works out at £19 per ticket/match for North and South Stands.

Well done again to the new management team at ER.

 

The sooner we sign Lassoga the better

 

Only 2900 tickets? Have a nasty feeling we'll have a lot of ours in the home end. Pubs open at 11. Doesn't bode well

 

Can't see it happening myself, too many stumbling blocks

We would have easily sold 6,000 so guessing it's something do with them having a designated away section similar to us.

Just realized the reason for the offer on the next 2 home matches... chippy's on holiday !

 

Well I find that astonishing.
Is that what you asked for or all we'd give you?

 

Guaranteed police will have limited our ticket allocation. We take 8,000 to many away games as they need the revenue, but Sunderland will probably fill SoL anyway for this game

 

All we were given and you had to have attended over 20 away matches last season to get one.

 

Similar for Forest away which is our next away match after this weekend.

2000 allocation and must have attended 20+ away matches in 16/17 season to be able to apply for one.

 

Aye, could be that like.
Short is a tight fisted greedy twat.
If he could sell 4-5000 he would have.

 

As many as the tickets you give us,give us 7-8,000 that's what we will bring,Bolton gave us 4,800 sold them in 15 minutes.

 

Same with us, always sell out away.

 

We only ever issue a maximum of 3000 for a league game, depends on opposition for cup matches if they'll get anymore. Most teams even in the Premier League don't bring up 1500 even when they were guaranteed 3 points like last season!

Given the Derby game was a Friday night towards the end of factory fortnight and everyone feared the worst about this season I think they'll be a big increase in the attendance, even with it being the Saturday night game I'd be surprised if there was less than 36k.

 

I said I didn't think he'd want to play second fiddle to Wood, if Radz or TC are going to go after high wage strikers, or other players for that matter, then chances are they won't want to play second fiddle either.

Maybe it's another learning curve that they're both experiencing and learning from....
