Off the field operations

So didn’t order enough stock for both. My god man, I hope the entrance Sunday goes smoothly

 

So do I, I'll be getting there a earlier than normal to make sure.

A few over on RTG saying that there were only XXL and above left in the shop and the staff were 'hopeful' of a delivery before Sunday

 

I’m getting there early, shouldn’t have to be this way

 

It's quite telling that they are opening the turnstiles up 2hrs before KO rather than 1hr 30mins as they usually do. Doesn't fill me with confidence tbh but I really hope everyone gets in smoothly for KO. Won't look particularly good live on Sky either.

 

To save anyone going through to the club shop for shirts, I would wait till tomorrow when they get more stock in

 

I got told yesterday they only had 600 of each size at launch.

If that’s accurate then someone needs fired.

Think we all know who…

 

The problem will be when the usual whoppers turn up at 1655, going through the turnstiles at the East Stand to get to their seats in The North East corner and don’t have their phones ready

I’ll be getting there at 4pm to avoid all that nonsense

 

Yeah, we will be getting there early as well. Do the digital tickets force you to go through the correct turnstiles allocated to you? This would be a positive imo. The amount of people who pile it the South and South East corner is ridiculous at times, no way they all sit round there.

 

Reckon me and dad will head over early, rather get in and get sorted out before the madness

 

I will probably head over for 15:45 with the boyo.

 

I always get into the ground an hour before to watch the warm up, looks like it will be busy then with everyone turning up early

 

Me and my son always do that. He likes watching the routines with him doing some coaching.

 

I actually have faith it will work, but we be getting over early anyway because a) first game of season and b) we meeting at Stack at 12 if we don’t gan early we be ****faced

 

I like to see what drills they are using but mainly just to see the characters and how they apply themselves.

 

Crackers really, a number of people getting there early cos they do not have faith in the ticket system, something which should be routinely simple

 

The illuminated street signs around the area are already sayin Sunderland V Ipswich Sunday, arrive early. Ffs they know already it’s gonna be a farce imo.

 

On the plus side, if we do manage to get in early, it's a few half price beers. I know thw beers a bit crap but I hope the turnstiles all works for people. Looking at 42k+ on Sunday. They really need this to work.

 

At this rate everyone will be there early, there will be loads of early queues and the beer will run out

 

‘a bit crap’ is the biggest understatement since that sub that imploded ‘sounded a bit creaky’

 

Not necessarily a bad thing , but seriously, I hope it all just 'works'
