Sunderland Away Tickets

[mickbrownsconscience]

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but what has happened to the online ticket website?
I went to buy my Sunderland ticket tonight and instead of asking me for my five-digit supporter number as it has done for many years, it displayed one of my old email addresses and said my pasword was invalid. You what? I've had the same password since they went online.
So I had to set up a new email address and passsword and then I was able to buy the ticket. But it still threw up the right delivery address and when I checked 'account history' it had the 139 tickets I had bought previously. Wierd. Why oh why do they mess with these things? It was fine for the Barnsley & Pompey tickets.

BA from Heathrow can often be cheaper than the train! I used to travel up there with my old job.

Will look into that, was going to get a train from Kings Cross but it was silly money!

I’m flying from Bristol £80 return

Remember going there around. 1973. Comprehensively beaten 3-0. Dennis Tueart ran us ragged. However, Sunderland fans around us were really impressed with Roy Clayton. Wae'aye man, he's a canny player. About the only bright spot on a forgettable day. It was a long way home.

Northern rail trains are due to be on strike on this day. Meaning some of their services Newcastle to Sunderland may be impacted. Alternative option is tyne & wear metro.

Bought my tickets today. Numbered 1340 and 1341 - I doubt we have sold that many though, never sure what the numbers mean when you buy online.

Going on the supporters coach, mad as i am lol

I can remember going up there twice in a week for a Cup game and a League game. Also, I have a memory of (for the one and only time) Mark Druce absolutely tearing them apart.

Never heard the Roker roar, although heard plenty of boos.

Usually when you look at the teamsheets from these historic defeats, you recall in horror. But weirdly, we didn't have a terrible team out that day either (Phil Whelan excepted):

Whitehead
Robinson
Whelan
Gilchrist
Marsh
Beauchamp
Smith
Gray
Powell
Windass
Thomson

Strange season that one, As you say that team was not bad and did produce some good results that season. Following that Sunderland debacle, I think we thrashed QPR at home and slaughtered WBA 3-0, Beauchamp was superb v WBA.
We also beat Birmingham away 1-0 only then to lose 7-1 at home. Later in the season was the Chelsea cup game and historic turning point in history of the club Mr K took over.

We picked up flights from Heathrow (BA) around 9pm on the Friday, comong back Sunday afternoon was 150 each. I imagine they are around 200 now

Twice in one week! Now thats what I call support.

 

[Leysboy]

Any idea how many we’ve sold?

Went to this game with my brother-in-law, a Sunderland season ticket holder and left to return to Yorkshire when it reached 6-0. As I was leaving the ground the seventh goal went in, shown on the overhead screens. That night my brother-in-law telephoned to describe the goal I had ‘missed’. Oh, how we laughed!

I always phone for mine now as I always have trouble online :-(
I managed to book and pay for Wembley twice and took ages to sort it, then did the same for Bradford away last year, it came up with a message saying error, go back to start, so I did, put everything in again and ended up paying twice, the confirmation for the first time dropped in just as I OK'd the 2nd. Don't trust it now.

"Shotton was too upset to attend the post-match press conference but his assistant Mark Harrison did - and ripped into the players.

"We caved in. It was embarassing and a disgrace to Oxford United Football Club," he said. "We're not happy about it and it's about time the players stood up to be counted. Our senior players cost us goals badly and we showed a lack of character right through the team."

Harrison added: "We're shell-shocked. We were steam-rollered. The second way was one-way traffic.

"Phil Whitehead made maybe two saves and Sunderland hit the bar but apart from that everything they hit went into the net.

"You can pick fault for the whole 90 minutes. You've got to work as a unit but up front we didn't work or hold it up or compete,..."


Rather different to Pep's reaction!

I remember the twice in consecutive weeks - I think the London Road Club did a deal - £10 each or both trips for £15 - I could only face the one trip so did the FA Cup - Richard Hill equalised up there and I think scored both in the replay that we won 2-0.

Curiously, one of my favourite away days that 7-0. Purely because you will seldom see a team playing so well as Sunderland on that day. Don Hutchison looked like Pele that afternoon!
After the second went in, my dad turned to me and said "We're in for a f*cking hiding here!"
On the plus side, we did get on Look North joining in the Mexican wave and got invited out for pints by the Mackems afterwards. Solid bunch of lads!
