midds Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 They really are a joy to watch these days. Unbelievably good tonight, phenomenal performance. Fans are also fucking class too. Yet again. How do they keep on being so consistently class?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfella Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Have you ever seen a ground empty as quick as that? The game hasn't been finished five minutes and there's literally no-one left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 37k official crowd . How the fuck do they keep getting away with this every game. It's not even close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) They're fuming with time wasting over on rtg. Obviously sunderland have never time wasted before, so they're rightly fuming with it. Also Dan Neil is getting a bit of stick over there already, a little boy lost was 1 comment. Obviously there must be 2 Dan Neil's as the other 1 is worth 30 million if I remember rightly.

bigfella Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I've been looking forward to seeing what nonsense attendance they'd announce. Closer to 27,000 in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even close Their financial figures will be interesting. They often quoted bigger attendances in the PL and ended up with less matchday income as clubs with 10-12k less average attendance.

They needed a fully fit Stewart for 2/3s of the season and they might have made it. Think they've missed the boat massively tbh. We should sign Patterson for the craic to be backup. He's shite but to annoy them we could chuck him in the reserves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the teams went off at half time, the camera panned up and you could see the entire upper tier, which is on two sides of the ground, was empty, apart from the Sheffield United fans.

Wolfcastle Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Instead of begging them to go to games Niall Quinn should have just lied about the gates to Short and got him to subsidise them some more. Missed a trick there. Seen in the Bilbao thread our relationship with them is "apparently" - despite the first hand accounts and reports, video evidence, verification recently by both sets of fans, friendlies since, folklore and a documentary on Futbol Mundial about it. But some tenuous link to them from over a 100years ago is like soul-mates At best they're a lesser version of what Notts County are to Juventus because because at least Juve acknowledge Notts County.

Doc Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Upper tier has been closed for donkeys, lower bowl holds 36000 I think. Can't be more than 30000 there surely? @bigfella Edited March 15, 2023 by Doc slow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near that amount in tonight as it looked far emptier. 25k being generous. Not sure if it's just blatant lying or there's literally 10-15k ticket holders just not showing up.

They probably handed out enough extra tickets to make it 37k, or at least left them on a table somewhere in public, so that on some moral level they could justify saying 37k tickets had been "distributed". The footballing equivalent of when you used to do a paper round and you'd just yark all the papers in a bush and go home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 That's the fullest part of the ground, Sheffield United fans in the top tier. The top tier at this side of the ground, from where the photo was taken, was completely empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Attendance is likely defined as something along the lines of 'being there'. Pretty simple. Doubt the non attending ticket holding mackems are down the pub tonight talking about the game as if they were there, or are they?
