ponsaelius Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 For example Sheff Utd were averaging 21k last year with highs of 30k. Sunderland are a bigger club with historically higher attendances, if they're putting together a fun title charge of that magnitude they will comfortably beat out that. If they remain a disorganised mess and slump to mid-table, their attendances will be even worse than this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 As shambolic as they are at the moment, and as toxic as the club is right now, it would take something special for them to struggle again next year in League One. Their wage budget as a percentage of turnover permitted by FFP, even with half of it eaten up by the likes of Cattermole/Rodwell hanging around, will still leave them with 5 or 6 times the budget of clubs down there. So long as they're proactive they could hoover up all the best players in that division as the vast majority move around on free transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re right up the top attendances will be good (might even have to open the top tier!). Around the playoffs and they’ll probably be not too bad. Anything less than that and they’ll be woeful.

Stifler Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Whats this bollocks about Amanda Staveley being at their last few games Someone took a picture of a women with blonde hair from one of their games a few weeks ago and said it was Staveley. It obviously wasn’t, but you know, that doesn’t stop idiots from gossiping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pons Alias Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Impressive that they have such low expectations of their own fans that they see them being spirited away in ‘92 at the first sign of decent football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 87 their attendances went up about 25% in the 3rd division, then fell again by about the same amount on return to the 2nd division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Don’t think I have seen an emptier stadium. Except for occasional reserve games at SJP, which always struck me as quite a eerie experience. Must be demoralising to play there and surely leads to the players following suit and also not giving a shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Annoys me that people never say what time was on the clock when the stadium looked like that. Obviously the players are still out but you'd expect it to be pretty dead on 90+3 at 2-0 down and no hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worryingly can now see Dave Lee Travis, Jesus’s right eye becomes his His left eye... now fearing I’ve been driven mental by the Makems (or their deal with the devil, ).

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 So it looks like they've been very successful in organising their own series of bouycotts then. We should find out how they did it for the next time Ashley has a brain worm attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Not sure why people are so worried about their attendance anyway. They're in a mess and have been for a long time. Less hope in sight than ever. Can't really blame them for not turning up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Bullshit, its barely 18 months since they were going to storm mid table with Big Sam after they relegated the mags. They gave up on their club the moment it got tougher than usual. They still wont show any real displeasure to short either. Some still defend him. The sheer Apathy of it all is astounding.
