I see these small time jokers are having to do a kids for a quid offer for tomorrow. Right in the thick of the promotion race and having to resort to this to pull a crowd in is highly embarrassing tbh.

Dude forgot the zero after the five.

 

Even then I'd still turn it down.

 

 

 

 

It would have to be a nine before the five before I'd even consider it

Whilst in some ways it’s commendable (and sensible) to try and get youngsters to attend games, anyone that’s attended pre-season games or early round cup games (before the cup scheme…) will know that it does nothing for the atmosphere. Well, it kinda does create ‘noise’ but not necessarily a particularly intimidating one.

 

Still, probably better than empty seats…

Aye the point was more that they're having their best season in years, are coming to the business end of it amd are having to resort to this to pull a crowd in. Piss poor really. 

 

Whilst it's commendable that kids can get in for a pound, they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They are doing it cos the place looks empty every week. If they thought they could sell the kids tickets for the full £10 price, that's what they'd do.

It's not the worst idea tbh. One way of getting the younger generation to grow up Sunderland supporters. Plus a quid is better than fuck all.

Yep. The point is that they're doing it out of necessity because their stadium always looks so empty. For a club that is never shy in crowing about how good their support is, it's piss poor that they're having to do this to pull in a crowd given how well they're doing.

Aye it's desperate stuff in reality, but when life gives you lemons make lemonade instead of trying to eat lemons and end up being sourfaced cunts basically.

Now you're just being silly.

They literally never learn , they are worse than this Leicester team that pissed the championship last season .

 

Taken from the Leicester V Brentford match thread. 

1-0 Bees

Wissa 

So far, if this is Premier League, we would be OK.

There 8 points off an automatic place the daft cunts within the poorest championship there has been for years

I even think Leeds will go back down next season. No one there seems to be good enough really, and I think Farke is over rated and gets found out in the Premier League.

Unlike whoever else comes up, I think commercially they will have the best chance though.

Looking at both teams the other night, they will get bounced by Premier League teams, the pace alone will be too much for them.

I dont think the promoted teams in the past few years have let the players that got them up try the Premier league, nee point spending £100million on a new first 11

Watching Burnley and thinking I'd love it, love it, if a good old fashioned northern club playing in a traditional stadium with a great atmosphere, got promotion rather than the self proclaimed "hugest club in the league" (everyone's cup final) who play in a half empty, no atmosphere identikit stadium.

COYC.

Who in their right mind would consider buying that shithole when they're practically having to give tickets away to get a decent crowd. They'd take one look at gate receipts and say feck that shit. 

Even if they got an owner with ambition they'd still expect to get in for next to nowt. You've found your level you sad mackems. Enjoy it

So just under £140m of that valuation is based on the entire squad?

 

What are these hypothetical new owners going to do, sell everyone and play Darren from the Working Men's Club up-front? 

 

Yes, players have "value" but you can only realise that value in cash terms by selling them and more often than not you're going to have to shell out for a replacement.

Gone down as an own goal by the current Mackem whipping boy Older Balder Fatter Son.

Bewwed off predictably.

They hate Fatty Patty nearly as much as The Citizens Advice Bureau these days.

[andycap]

They'll never be a sell out every week team, when they were there under quinn he had to ask them to show up and support them.
