Sheff Wed game

[TopCat.]

Looks like the relegation scrap will go to the final day. With our midtable mediocrity secure, it's going to be interesting/weird to be involved in a relegation decider on the right side of the fence for once.

FWIW I hope Sheff Wed stay up as it's a great away day, but I won't be shedding any tears if we hump them 5-0 and send them down. For once we can be calm on the final day and watch our opposition fans squirm

They’ve been given 2600 tickets (600 more than usual this season) and a purchase history is required for a ticket in the home end. It’s likely to be a huge fixture for them.

I generally like Sheff Wed but they've gone down a little in my view recently ...

... because of Barry Bannan Superstar and the Bradley Lowery affair but mainly the 'slitty throat gestures' when we were beating them in the playoffs ... this was people in the Leppings Lane Lower which is pretty sick imo.

If they come up shouting the odds and being aggressive I think our crowd will turn against them and be willing us to get at them ...

... I've booked the train for it, I think it will be a good game as you say.

Almost 42k tickets already sold for the game. Early kick off on a bank holiday weekend. Should be a good day.

I fly out to Cyprus the next day, the wife is on tenterhooks already, I’ve already had the obligatory threat of divorce and the old chat about growing up, she doesn’t get it still after all these years

Yet, if you ask for a good alternative for Saturday ...

... it will definitely involve shopping, spending more money than you would at the match or visiting people.

Even worse she could utter the worst two letters in the English language ...

... B and Q

Last home game of the season she dreads, been together 25 years and most of our "fall outs" tend to follow matchday. She cant understand why I cant just take the car and come home after the match like a normal person is her go to phrase. Ive been a Sunderland supporter for 50 years, Ive only known her for 25 years and the kids less than that, Sunderland football Club were part of my life long before my wife and kids, she needs to grasp that sooner or later.
All joking aside I do get smashed out of my brains on the last home game each season but thats because Ive got 3 months of gardening and whatever crap she dreams up whilst the football season is finished.

I know where you're coming from. I've been with the wife for just over 20 years and she still complains about me wanting to watch the match on a Saturday, whether I go to the games or watch on the TV! I think I've toned it down since we've been together as it used to be a total day out on the lash before we got married now it's not so much.

I even got complained at about watching the match last weekend when we're were in York! So she left me in a pub while she went shopping

It's looking like a big crowd, 43k+ for this game, and possible trouble if we relegate them.

Sunderland have apparently cancelled tickets bought by Wednesday fans in home sections.

They've been given 2600, but as with us in the play-off semi down there, could've probably sold three times that amount.

I hope people stay for the lap of honour ...

... the players, especially the young ones like Rigg, deserve some applause for the way they've tried.

It's been a poor season but the next one starts here.
