Aye 38k / 39k would sound about right, I think if we were to hahe a decent season we could see that this time next year! Although that’s massively in theory at this stage
I reckon 39k as well. 3k away tickets, a bit segregation and the rest matchday tickets. What's does that leave; about 3k tickets? Will be a right scramble for those.
Season ticket sales have been stunning throughout the dark days. Doesn’t even raise a single hair in my left eyebrow that they are flying out. It’s true that next years gonna be a hike for early bird takers, but I don’t think £30 a game for PL football is excessive at all. I do worry for the occasional fans who can’t afford to renew and try grab the odd game, some of these fans are as passionate as anyone about the club but can’t pull a wedge. You’d think if there’s 2.5-3k ‘spares’ for home games they gonna be £35 plus.
People, on here, have a bit of an advantage in some ways. I have an SC, that lives in Sunderland, and will be available on days I can't make it ... ... there'll be a few like that I expect.
Aye it’s great seeing lads such as yourself sorting others out. Proper little family this forum, even back to the BBC days. I feel for lads that want to go and can’t because I know the e life and energy the football brings me. I still get butterflies as the Stadium comes into sight. I’m 44 years old. Always have back to Roker, always will. Would be gutted if one day I didn’t.
I remember in the League One days, the first season especially, me and my Grandad were trying to decide do we really want to go and watch that, the club is giving us nothing back. But I remember us having a conversation where we said, lets stick with them through these times because one day we'll be back and it will all feel that bit better when we get there. I'm glad we did now as bloody hard as it was to watch! Honestly brilliant to see we are going to sell out the season tickets, what a turn around, club just feels on such a massive up and its class to see.
League One was horrific mate but I’ll never forget it as it was the time I start taking my son. I’ll never, ever forget his delight at Wembley when we beat Wycombe.
Same for me as well. Feels like we've gone in a proper full circle. Watching us play against kids teams in the pizza cup with one stand open on a freezing Tuesday night, compared to now is some turnaround. "Yes Dad, we will be able to see Haaland at the Stadium " he says. "Erm, aye son, I suppose we will"
Former Bristol City, Sunderland and Hibs manager Lee Johnson has been announced as the new permanent head coach of Lommel SK in Belgium. His appointment follows a successful interim spell having kept the side up last season, taking over with Lommel SK sitting just above the drop zone with six games remaining. They ended a run of 12 consecutive away defeats with a win in his first game against league-leaders Zulte Waregem. He has become a popular figure among fans with his front-foot, high-tempo style of play in Belgium and is well thought of at City Football Group, who own the club.
Loved reading all these this morning, my dad is a season ticket holder with me but refused to go to Wembley for the Wycombe game as he thought he was a Jinx after multiple trips and not winning, first text I sent when we won was that i wish he was here However the sheff utd game he stood by that he didnt want to go as because we won when he wasnt there he didnt want to jinx it haha Can be so powerful now for kids to see their city and their team competing against the elite again, can inspire a generation My nephew has just turned a teen and his first season ticket was the moyes season so Im so happy that he is going to see a premier league team again
I think if you takeaway away fans allocations, segregation and all corporate tickets there is about 38k tickets for home fans, I think they might actually cap season tickets at 37k and have 1k (ish) left for match by match general sales
I don’t think you’ll be far off with those predictions but you’d like to think there’s more than 1000 available for general sale
