Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 'Every aspect'? They're going to Wembley which is a ballache but relegation is far more likely than a Mackem cup win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Mackem Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Right, it's time to put this attendance debate to bed forever (wishful thinking). Newcastle have always had higher average attendances than Sunderland. I accept that and I wish other Sunderland fans would too. Here's the stats ;- NUFC av. att :- http://i60.tinypic.com/2vjpx7t.png SAFC av. att. :- http://i58.tinypic.com/23gyd1f.png As for our attendances for the cup games this season, I really have no idea why they are so low, but I agree it looks terrible when we're on TV.

I find it absolutely baffling tbf, you're getting so many for the league games which (aside from the odd Pardew-related aberration) have been pretty miserable on the whole. Yet when the cup games come around, where you've had a lot of excitement, some good results and in the FA cup at least knew in advance there was a good chance of seeing a win and going through to the next round, nobody seems to fancy it. Sad sign of the times I suppose where we are told the Premier League is the bestest competition ever, ever, ever to the detriment of the cups and fans seem to be buying into this way of thinking.

captainhaircut Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Do they still do cheap/free tickets for schools etc? We might have to follow suit next season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 They give away literally 1000's of tickets for league games and discount many more. They even had to hand out loads of free tickets for the derby when it became apparent there was going to be 1000's of empty seats. For the Cup games such as yesterday they have to split the gate receipts between their opponents and the FA so they aren't allowed to dish freebies out so even when they're only charging £15/£5 they can't get a crowd in. If they stopped doing the free tickets and all the cheap offers for league games (I believe for their next 3 home league games season ticket holders can buy extra tickets for a tenner) and charged prices in line with other Premier League clubs they would struggle to average 25,000 for league games.

On the whole, both clubs get far better support than the clubs deserve most of the time. This season you're getting Cup crowds that our club deserves considering we as a club couldn't give a shit about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's forced to compare FA Cup attendances with the Coppa Italia, which has never been any more important in Italy than the Johnstone's Paint Trophy is here. Imagine - just imagine - if it was us getting 16k in the fifth round. Odds on him being "bored" by attendances then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
