Yeah, I had looked at this one too but way off with the BCPs. It's a bit of a paradox - you can't get tickets without BCPs, yet you can't get BCPs without tickets. I've built up about 20 with cup games and a few away games but you wonder if the club could maybe put 10% of away tickets in some sort of ballot to allow those of us with fewer points to still get to games?
This is all becoming a farce.
We're regularly selling out away games and, with the slightest hint of promotion, will do so for the rest of the season.
Hull gave us 2000, similar to Huddersfield and Birmingham, while Blackpool will give us 1800. It's galling to be at these grounds looking at swathes of empty seats while there are loads of Sunderland supporters who can't get tickets.
Hull have had problems with home sections throwing missiles so have reduced the away allocation. At Huddersfield they had masses of empty seats, in the end opposite, but had their fans next to us in a split end. There was no real trouble but it was all a bit messy.
At a time when clubs regularly complain about their finances it's a shame they can't make an effort to accommodate the hundreds/thousands of extra away supporters.
We're generally very well behaved, considering the numbers, so it's quite annoying.

"Speaking about Reading's away support, Paul Ince highlighted the number of Sunderland fans who made the trip down to St Andrew's for the away game at Birmingham City on Friday night."
"It would be nice if we could get some more support. I watched Birmingham versus Sunderland on Friday night and Sunderland had over 2,000 fans. That's something we need to build as a club - all of us - to try and get that type of attendance in two or three years' time."

I know there’d be no chance of getting the allocation, but we could’ve sold 7000+ for this one, no doubt about it.

I saw your previous post and tried to help, as I did for others on here, but I've no chance tbh ...
... after the World Cup break I reckon we'd have easily taken 5000 to this one.
After Birmingham performances I can see the numbers increasing. Shame as you said that there's a host of clubs limiting us to 2kish due to their own costs/ security etc.
One thing you failed to mention is that on a number of occasions the home club have incentivised the home support but not the away fans , is this to try to negate our level of support for SAFC - vocally .

Really baffling. You'd think they'd jump at the extra cash, the extra interest and the extra buzz a bigger crowd would bring both teams. Certainly some grounds are big enough and empty enough to accommodate up to say 4k. That would be enough.( mostly!)
None at all, I will take it if you still have it, will make one of the old fellas very happy
