Missed 5 that I've paid for. Never again will I allow myself to be in this position.

11/2 to go down. Still worth putting a bet on it to lessen the blow.

6 but it'll be 8 if Sunderland win this afternoon.

It's all about what Sunderland do.

Remember being at that 7k match. Interesting to see the big variants in attendances during the season.

Not using my ticket and definitely not offering it to friends or family for freebie as it's completely missing the point.

Reckon there'll be a small physical presence holding related literature. Those vans may also drive and park, wherever possible, outside the store. Just my opinion mind.

It just shows the loyalty only goes one way, leaves a bad taste to end it like this for supporters. The club is heartless and uncaring at its core so do the right thing and you'll feel better.

Media has definitely changed with this campaign getting the message out there. Might listen to phone in tonight for the first time this year and see what there take is after yesterday.

That's the reason I put it on here. Definitely said it during conversation with morning presenter around 8:15 this morning. Added that he thought the actual attendance to be 40k.

Mick Lowes on Radio Newcastle this morning called the AO campaign an undoubted success in terms of numbers.

As an absent season ticket holder I'm interested in how attendees felt about the boycott and specifically the numbers involved.

Reporting boycott a success so far on Radio Newcastle

correct.

The success of the boycott was always reliant on season ticket holders not attending. I'm just staying at home as I don't want to be part of any media circus. Level 7 is definitely going to look half empty but we need the East Standers to be part of the protest as well as the lower Gallowgate/Leazes. Im predicting 35k in actual attendance with a match attendance given as circa 42k.

It truly is going to backfire on the contributers, thanks for your support in our campaign.

My thoughts and position matched exactly there Wallsendmag.

They're going to try anything to get people to attend.

It's blokes (and lasses) like Cookie that will make or break this boycott. Make a change.

That's exactly what attending on Sunday is, an endorsement of what is presently NUFC. If this is what you're happy with then enjoy your day, hopefully there'll be some legroom either side of you.

If it's not less than 40k I doubt I'd be able to take my seat for the remaining matches. Not only rip NUFC but also those fans, its all yours.

Too many bites, just leave be.

Personally, if it's below 40k it'll raise a few eyebrows. Anywhere near 30k and it's a fantastic success with panic statements on Monday. With my recent experiences of the apathy at sjp I reckon it'll be around the 40 to 42 thousand mark.

Spurs goal in the first five minutes would be nice.

First one I remember is home win v Liverpool cica 1970/71. Sure I'd been before that but mustn't have been memorable.
