Off the field operations

About 25 seats currently available

Get 2 full stands fully open FFS

 

If Lucumi joins, we could lineup with something like

Patterson
Mukiele Seelt Lucumi Masuaku
Rigg Neil Le Fee
Roberts Guiu Isidor

That's a really decent team

 

Id settle for seeing that against Huddersfield

 

They better open a new stand. I was late and couldn't get my customary end row seat and my slightly dodgy right knee can't be doing without that room. I'll be there if they do open it though as its quite reasonably priced.

 

Are we getting a BCP for the ticket does anyone know?

 

I'd rather see that team against Huddersfield than the first XI. Excited to see what a lot of them can do and see how hungry those who lost their places are to win them back!

 

About 6 more blocks released

 

The Mexico thing is hilarious! Team of the people!

Translation:

In this video, I will explain why Mexican fans adopted Sunderland from the Premier League.

Sunderland has just returned to the Premier League after 8 years away, and their debut was perfect: they beat West Ham 3–0. That victory gave them their first three points in the top division since 2017.

Spontaneously, thousands of Mexican fans decided to adopt Sunderland as their team in England for this season. On social media—specifically on Twitter (now X)—several users suggested choosing a random European club to collectively support throughout the year. The vote ended up landing on Sunderland, and from that moment the support was massive.

Fans began flooding the club’s posts with messages of encouragement, even calling it the new “team of the people.” The attention grew to the point that Sunderland responded from its official account in Spanish, acknowledging the wave of affection and thanking the fans for their support.

There’s no sporting connection to explain this phenomenon—Sunderland hasn’t signed any Mexican players nor established any ties with the Mexican league. Yet, out of nowhere, Sunderland has gained a huge following of Mexican fans.

 

This Mexican craic is superb.

I do love fajitas.

 

3 Tickets have now been purchased. Just need to bully the third person into coming.

 

Tell ya what, if you are going to choose an underdog as they wanted to do there’s nee greater underdog than Sunderland !

 

‘undercat’

 

Huddersfield tickets continue to fly out

 

The way they are just opening a couple of blocks at a time is ridiculous. There are currently only 2 seats available. The demand is there don’t k ow why they couldn’t just open the whole lower bowl

 

Ticketing department at the club is still an absolute shambles.

 

It appears so really thought they had upped their game. Crazy tickets are £10 and were flying out but at the minute you can’t buy a ticket

 

I wouldn’t say this makes them suddenly a shambles.

Given the low attendances for cup games last season they’ve tested the water. It’s all learning.

Remember, every stand and section opened adds massive cost to the club.

This way, they don’t end up with stands and concessions open for a handful of people.

It hasn’t worked out but there’s absolute logic in what they’ve tried.

 

Not just today, the whole ticketing department

West Ham (h) went on sale without supporters being informed (one of our biggest SoL fixtures in years, demand would’ve been huge) - they announced tickets were on sale over 24 hours later and were almost already sold out

I’m sure it was @Southern A who only got sorted as I’d posted on here about them being on sale without any communication from the club.

 

Fair one. Wouldn’t know about league games.

I still stand by the logic of what they’ve done with this cup game though.
