There's no excuse for poor crowds like that. A winable FA Cup match against PL opposition at Saturday Lunch time and they get shy of 17000 :lol: You don't expect a full house but surely they should get 30,000 for that. :lol:

 

 

Obviously the North Sea and work shifts are to blame

"Well i'm not there John so can't really critiscise. Terrible weather, early kick off, lots of games recently..."

 

Those first two are awful reasons. Sure it's the earliest game, but how does a 12.45 KO prevent people from coming? Not like it affects league games at that time.

I'm not there, and I won't be at Wembley. Purely financial reasons  :sad:

I don't get it, Sunderland became the first north east club to hire a modern coach, and they're becoming a good team, but the fans don't care about the FA Cup? What exactly do they want? They should be feeling enthusiastic about everything.

They appear to be excusing themselves on an individual basis over at the special needs class. It's like a teacher receiving a bunch of sick notes from under-achieving fatties trying to get out of gym....

 

 

Add to that it's a lunch time kick off on the telly and in the pissing rain. They should be included in season tickets.

 

If we get to the Final ill get a ticket due to the number of loyalty points I have. Today I'm sat at home with my sick children watching on a stream...

 

I am full of flu and feel terrible but in all honesty I would have probably still braved the elements if it wasn't on the TV.

By many estimates, we took almost as many fans to Tottenham in the fifth round in 1987 (when we were in the bottom three of the top flight and odds-on to lose) as Wembley-bound SAFC mustered at home at the same stage today...

 

:anguish:
