Sunderland Game

[Notaswindonfan]

You forgot the Cobblers of Northampton Town. The 2016 Boxing Day gate was more than 11,800.

He did post strip out Boxing Day games

No idea why though, isn't that like saying "penalties don't count" when looking at goalscoring charts?

I presume looking at his post he’s trying to make the point that traditional the clubs listed are his/ours football rivals, Sunderland has artificially been deemed a big game to attract fans.

I reckon Pompey have sorted out their weakness which was no decent striker, who could play the lone striker role (and 90 mins - ie. Pitman couldn't) when Hawkins is injured. They signed 2 so I'd have them over Charlton who lost their main striker.

Whatmore is out for the rest of the season (knee) after last night's fa cup defeat for pompey. A loss that I think will make thier defiance in balanced. Theyll blow promotion at the playoff semi final stage

To witness the mighty U's P**s on their party ?.... im sure we'll sell out the away end at luton

Wycombe might struggle though.

I suspect amershamdave may predict a black cat on the pitch instead of a dog

That would be nice

Indeed ....suspect the hot air hanging around this one may well be of "methane" origin?

Probably where to put all those coaches.

Lots of teams have sold out their allocation at the stadium over the years, there seems lots of drama about this weeks match.

Are you referring to Sunderland selling all their allocation? Surely that is no big deal as very limited tickets.

They should just give them one of corporate boxes on the side.

I think that is what I said, no idea why they are limiting access to areas of the ground for our fans

You may have had more but we’re not Wyscumb who are desperate

Unless it's Oxford playing there then it's just their poxy away stand & looking at huge expanses of spaces in the 3 home areas plenty of empty seats, but they ww, refuse to give us any additional tickets

We aren't going to sell out to our own fans so can someone tell me why we couldn't give Sunderland another thousand in the north . And please don't anyone say that with more away support that's a disadvantage. Cos it never makes any difference- sorry

One reason could be the displacement of season ticket holders ,also the gap between home and away fans.

Why should we, DE decided on the away allocation and I see no reason to increase it.
There is always the logistics of segregation under the stand, there is still the issue why the away fans of 1800 get two male toilets and the rest of the stand of Oxford fans get to queue for the one male toilet.

U can’t give them another 1000 seats without moving season ticket holders. Also there isn’t the option for segregation under the stand to change the split in fans. So id guess it’s either 1800 or 5000. Unless u were going to swap the oxford fans to the other end of the north stand. Never gonna happen.

Because pissing off your own fans for a one off hit of cash isn’t a good long term business plan? No return business from away fans so we are better off building our own fan base.

Away fans could have 2,500 if some robbing bastard would of finished the ground in the last 20 years.
