The club should have started the voucher scheme since the 3rd round, i have been to every game at home this season league and cup and a season card holder but if we get to the final there will not be enough tickets, because 23,000 go to schools etc, and package companies charging £300-400 for a ticket!.
Remember back in 1974 we nicked off school to watch Durham play Yorkshire in the old Gillet Cup only to find two ofthe PE staff from the school walk artpund the boundary, having taken a sickie! They said nothing and neither did we.
Stange, I got mine last week and was limited to Concourse (mind, I did need four in a row). From what I understand it is a near sell out. So it should be though for a cup quarter final, even if it is on TV!!!
I tried to get 3 together on Thursday last week (for family members) and could only get Prem Councourse back row or further forward in North Stand upper!! Hope it's full tonight - great game and atmosphere - Still got that Nervous Excitement in my tummy!!!
Looking at the seating plan mose empty seats are singe scattered about, it will look and feel a sell out whatever the numbers say
Syd, rest assured, this is going to be one of those nights that makes everything worthwhile. Atmosphere, noise, smells, colours and feel. Couple that with a team that believes in itself and you have a piece of magic. I really, really can't wait.
**** it....had a bevy or two, in the mood now... I'm off out, to watch it with some scantily clad slappers.................... Enjoy the match all.... Here's to the lads with a good result, and hopefully not to bad a head for me..... Enjoy it lads.......
Twat. You didn't have to say that. I'll probably be sitting with some fat old bloke who smells of wet dog. Where do you sit again Syd?
Bloody hell, I have to sit here watching two idiots on the TV talking about it, to go to this game is what I want most in the world right now...
Our lass is walking the dogs from Roker up to Wear Bridge and the old staithes to hear the atmosphere, probably take them into the dog friendly smugglers to watch the second half.
If the more recent away matches are anything to go by you might be sitting with some fat old bloke AND his wet dog!
