    I used to do loads of that. But a ticket and miss half the matches. It got used widely though. I left in the care of a mate who would take any and various people. At least one wouldn't have had a smart phone, he didn't even have a stupid one! Quite the luddite really but an old guy.

    Why is my July direct debit payment reference showing as 'DDS' and not Sunderland AFC?
    6 days ago Updated

    Due to the migration from our previous ticketing partner to SeatGeek, all July direct debit payments will show as 'DDS', and all further payments will return to show as 'Sunderland AFC'. Fans are advised not to cancel their direct debit at this stage and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Why is my July direct debit payment reference showing as 'DDS' and not Sunderland AFC? – Sunderland AFC

    Going to be a never ending battle with the pink seats! It would have to be a Golden Gate Bridge level of constant maintenance to keep them all red :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Aye, I was there last night and there’s definitely some sort of paint work going on around the ticket office area.

    It’ll look smart when it’s all done.
