Direct from SAFC. ...

The following is why, as far as I've been told

1) EFL - away clubs are entitled to claim up to a maximum of 10% of stadium capacity or 2k whichever is the lower. The home club can of course offer more. In view of the missiles being thrown in recent seasons the SAG have put a restriction of 2.2k on away fans as part of their safety certificate being issued.

Sunderland r on a final warning and further missiles being thrown could result in Sunderland having their safety certificate withdrawn and having to play home games behind closed doors.

FA Cup - away teams are entitled to claim up to 15 % of stadium capacity with a maximum of 9k. It appears for the FA Cup game that the SAG would allow 6k, however, they would not remove the 2.2k condition on the upper tier (probably allowed the front 6 rows to be used as any Newcastle fans throwing missiles would be throwing them down on to their own fans) and therefore it was up to Sunderland to locate them accordingly to accommodate 6k.

The whole issue has been that Sunderland have not dealt with the problems over recent seasons by either installing a net or moving the away section to the lower bowl.

The same fans would be kicking off if the agreement was 2.5k and we got a replay.

The SAG wanted 2.5k then agreed to a bubble trip of 6k (funny its paid for by the mags)

We have accommodated their request and then given up the bcb and allowed a guest mag speaker on.

Name another club that accommodating to their biggest rivals?

It was sent to me on an unsolicited text.

I couldn't care less, as I said.

I went to SJP half a dozen times before I eventually got tickets in the Sunderland section ...

... people, these days, want everything on a silver platter imo.

Anyone who can't cope with these arrangements should stay away and let someone else go ...

... there'll be plenty of takers.

My lads just said to me "I'd like to go to a derby before I die" FFS :eek:o_O


I know I'll not get tickets. But I think we are both off work at the same time for a rare change.
Although he's changing jobs sometime in January <doh> :rolleyes: <laugh>

But if by chance we are off together.
Recommend me a pub to travel up and watch the match please.

Weatshief? <laugh>

If I can I'd like to make a day/night out of it.
Cheers.

I can only assume the club were worried the scum would trash it so have charged them for two tubs of paint and will redecorate after... all hypothesis based on a rumour like
So defo not happening...

I don't agree tbh.

I was at Man Utd, with 10,000 Sunderland supporters, which means a great number of Utd fans were prevented from attending a semi-final ...

... so a few of us are being a little inconvenienced, oh dear.

I can remember a few years ago when we descended on Blackpool in force and they had to move their season ticket holders to accommodate our fans, I think it was a league 1 game on New Years Day. Not exactly the same situation but their fans did what was asked by the club to help the club generate revenue.
I know this situation is a little different but the premise is the same, If we had been drawn up the road then we would have tried to get as much allocation as possible.
People will twist and moan all they like but the truth is the decision has been made don't be so precious (There was always a chance this could happen during any season as is stated when purchasing season tickets) For me I wish we were back to the days of standing to watch the match and not having to sit in these little plastic seas and clap very orderly when something good happens instead of jumping up and down and hugging the nearest stranger you could see.

Enjoy the game and its ups and downs support the lads have a beer with mates, wind up the mags feel elated or deflated go to work and brag or make excuses, whatever the outcome of the game I am pretty sure you little plastic seat will be the last thing on your mind until the next home game and it will still be their waiting for you all.
Hopefully a bit of perspective

Got on the website and went to the reserved seats and it said there's nothing reserved.
Went to "find tickets" and says I don't have the correct permissions.
Ive deleted all my network as there were 2 in there who werent eligible, but it is still saying the same.
Any advice would be helpful.

TIA
