Probably right that nothing we say would change the clubs mind but I don’t think it’s something that we should stay quiet about (if true of course). Yes other clubs would get big allocations but for obvious reasons it’s different with the mags. If we can safely give them 5k then okay whatever, but it’s unacceptable to do it to the detriment of Sunderland fans. People having to move from their season ticket seats, segregation meaning more sunderland fans won’t be able to get tickets isnt right. Let alone the difference it’s going to make to the game itself, giving them 25% of the lower bowl is massively more beneficial to the mags then having 100% Sunderland there. It makes no sense and would be a disgrace imo. If true it should be called out and questions need to be asked about how the decision was made
Oh defo should be called out by the right people but starting a petition isn’t going to do anything. If they do get a big allocation that mag c*nt Neill should have to answer for it. I’d imagine when we took 9k to Old Trafford we displaced season card holders from the regular seat just what happens in the cup unfortunately.
Fair enough mate. Only differences with the Man U game was obviously wasn’t a derby like this and if I’m remembering right they extended the upper area for us? It’s letting them round the pitch I don’t get, why not just extend the away end to the corner where we don’t sell many seats anyways. hopefully it’s all bollocks anyways
I will not start to get animated about this until confirmation from the club is received about tivket allocation. Probably won't even get animated then. I have learned never to pay attention to rumours until the true facts are known. Because I'm a boring old bastard!! HTFL
If they were all housed in the North Upper, people would twist because of things being thrown down at fans in the lower bowl
Surely the North Stand upper and North West corner upper is at least 5k so just give the ****ers that. It's a while since I've been in the concourse or North West upper corner but surely there is a natural divide in the concourse from when the extension was built. Let them in the North stand lower and the ****ers could be anywhere around the concourse unless we build a wall downstairs just to knock it back down after 1 game.
Think that would be the reasoning to give them upper and lower to the volume required by the FA and Northumbria's finest
well the mags have never threw anything down when they been up they it only like of Coventry snd Portmouth ect
Has anyone managed to reserve their seats yet? Club tweeted out details the other day but nowt on my account yet.....
Understand that, but SC holders are supposed to be able to get their usual seats first. The club tweeted it out on Friday (I think) but when you log on to the account there's nowt there
I took it they will announce the phases and then season card holders will have their tickets pre allocated for a short period, then go through the other phases?
Who knows mate. The tweet that came out last week suggested we could reserve them now. Maybe it's Monday
