Inevitable. This is the shittest league man, two teams in the top 4 and both shite


Literally going to have three sides come up once again who are fucking shit, offer very little to the league fun / quality and just get humped.

They are two of the best teams in that division and the standard of those two was absolutely woeful. It's of little surprise we put 16 goals by the two last season in the three games played. Not one of either teams players are anywhere near Premiership standard apart from maybe Mepham and he's a squad player at best. Generational talents my fucking arse.

How are there empty seats?!

 

Should be a game for the fans to turn up and make their world famous atmosphere count against the leagues top dogs!


 

my dad has a Sunderland season ticket and his was one of the empty seats, it was on sky, too cold, wouldn’t get home to midnight were his reasons. He is 80 though so I don’t blame him to be honest.

What a pathetic turn out for a Christmas holiday game against promotion rivals. Looked half empty.

Sunderland til it rains.

 

42,276 there according to the mackem calculator. Photos on twitter show that the Upper tier wasn't fully opened which takes their entire capacity down to around 42k and the lower bowl was far from full as well. Bear in mind they had a complete sell out v us against us which did look full tbf and the crowd that day was 44,814

 

They don't even try to hide their fibs now [emoji38]

The inbreds on RTG are arguing amongst themselves that there was actually 40,000 there. They can't handle being totally shown up that their crowds are nowhere near the official figures. So now they just either lie or attempt to justify this by making up any excuse they can think of.

They reckon there's going to be a rush on tickets after winning last night, and it'll be close to full at the weekend - "it was freezing last night". Guessing they've not checked the weather forecast for the weekend, can stamp that one on the bingo card already

In years to come it goes down in the history books as them averaging 40k+ in the Championship when in reality it's around 30k. Leeds are getting bigger home crowds than they are as Elland Road looks packed every week but the quoted numbers show otherwise.

 

If it feeds an ego though I suppose they'll think it's worth it.

I used to quite like watching 2nd tier football. It was honest, more direct and more error strewn which usually made for quite an entertaining watch.

Now it's awful to watch. They've decided en masse to play from the back/press like the PL. Problem is they're not very good at it and it's a dreadful watch.

They were two poor teams last night, both a million miles away from PL level and Sunderland's goals both came from defensive howlers. They created nothing.

One season when Sunderland were doing the same thing in the PL, i.e declaring blatantly false attendances, at the end of the season it may have been QPR or Watford (can't really remember) but they had a higher matchday revenue than Sunderland  who were declaring over twice their gates.

One of the oldest and wisest sayings in business "turnover for vanity profit for sanity" sort of applies to the way they behave.

Yeah i remember that. Think it was QPR. Also pretty sure that when they released their accounts in the mid 10s when they were still a PL club when you divided their total gate receipts for the season by the total amount of supporters who'd watched, the average ticket price was just over 11 quid and the Premier League average was £28. Obviously that's an average of adult/concession/kids tickets.

 

They infamously turned Ellis Short into a millionaire, when he was previously a billionaire when he bought them, due to him having to constantly pump money in to keep them afloat as they simply didn't generate enough. Polar opposite to Ashley here.

Watching the old firm game and I know I’ll be in the minority but wouldn’t be too bothered if they came up. There is no build up and excitment like a derby match and they’d likely go back down anyway :lol:
