    It's true that the sales seem to have been ****, only half of season ticket holders had bought their seats when they went on general sale on Tuesday.

    The West Lower will be fairly full though, the middle 2,000 seats aren't actually for sale, they're corporate seats and cup games are included in the season tickets.

    I think we're probably looking at about 20k, unless there's a late surge.

    There's little interest in the cups in the modern era, that is until there is a chance you could Wii.

    True.

    But Sheff Utd v Charlton has sold far more than us. Also, we could be making history as a club if we win.

    I hope it sells out.

    Yeah but you never won, so therefore it was a complete waste of your time.

    I'm not too bothered about the micky taking actually. More the part time nature of some of our fans.

    Mind you I doubt the club have helped much.

    I was at brighton, will be there sunday, some people just have the only a cup game cba mentality

    I don't want to share a wembley experience should we get there with them

    I've been around Sunderland a fair bit, of course dissing on a foum with banter and the like, but Sunderland are a proper footballing city

    I wish we didn't have the ****e rugby teams

    You off pub before?

    As I've said, Ii wasn't taking the piss.

    However, I do find it hard to believe that a club without any success can be so blasé abut an FA Cup quarter final.

    A home match like this at Boothferry Park would've been bursting at the seams and absolutely buzzing.

    Brighton would've been sold out and a better atmosphere imo.

    App won't let me quote you, but the a club without any trophy win part

    That's basically due to the small amount of passionate fans we actually have in the city the amount of people here who 'support' Liverpool, chelsea bla bla is unreal, plus the rugby fans a few times wish us to fail

    Only wembley will bring the hordes out and jump on the bandwagon

    Depends what era you're talking about.

    Our last home match 1/4 final in the fa cup was v Stoke in 1971 & had 40K+ at it. That was before we slumped it down the football league & the appearance of generations of glory hunting ****ers in Hull.

    Anyway, less wallowing in it- how you reckon you'll line up on Sunday?

    Any era but this one tbh.

    If there are 'glory hunters' then surely they'd be there for the glory of qualifying for a Wembley semi-final rather than scraping survival in the relegation fight.
