Sunderland fan here, in peace. I live out of the country and generally come back with my son to see two games at New Year. This year the away game is against you lot. Not being a ST holder I have to wait for general sale, and so am always worried about allocation. I read somewhere that your allocation for away fans was going up this year, to about 2,800. Is that correct? Any info. gratefully received! Good luck this year, except, obviously, against us!
It has increased, I'm not sure by how much though. I went to the development game against Charlton at the end of the season and the away end had already been extended. It looked a lot bigger.
Second Doc etc! Remember the last time you were down, it was a cracking atmosphere. Lot's of red and white striped followers down for that one. Unfortunately Keano worked us out that day having succumbed to a loss at your place. I guarantee you will remember the name of our goal scorer on that previous occasion.
Look who`s comming over the hill its .......................... Had great time away at sunderland that tuesday night we played them ...thousands of us up there on a night game ...brill away support
The away allocation is the lower of 10% of capacity or 3000. Our capacity is just under 27000 at the moment but extra seats are being put in to take it to 27k Your allocation will be around 2700.
I have nothing but respect for Cardiff and wasn't trying to be offensive. Sorry if it came across that way. I always use the term "you lot" when talking to friends about games between SAFC and their team. For example to Spurs mates last year "We're playing you lot at the SoL around New Year, fancy coming to the game?" (they did). Wasn't trying to wind anyone up
