I think this is a prelude to a reduced away allocation.

Light sky blue touch paper and stand well back - Sunderland must see the irony in that one.

normally agree, but anything that potentially reduces the away support, (though to be fair to the Mackems they seem to travel in numbers whatever), is OK with me.
Having the crowd an almost 50/50 split on Saturday is one thing but against this mob it would just be depressing.

Surely after the trouble last year they wouldn't get what they wanted.

I understand it is annoying for some folks, it'll also be more convenient for others. Unfortunately with sky etc we live in an age now where if we were to ever reach the Championship or more specifically the Premier League, we would have to expect probably 1/4 games wouldn't be Saturday 3pm. More to the point, I have no idea how the guy/girl who runs our Social Media account has his/her sanity with how many replies they've had basically blaming them as if it is remotely their fault. Society is regressing.

I would have disagreed with you if you'd posted that last week, but after the what they've done for the Blues games I'd say you're probably right.

Bringing pure, unadulterated, passing football v lard infused kick and rush to a wider audience.

True enough. I am more than happy on this occasion for an away support to be restricted.

It is stupid. Little squabbles aside, most are just genuine fans who want to watch their team. We wouldn't be happy the other way. TV dictates everything.

Doubt any of them would be getting the train anyway, £90-£125 for a return ticket with about 3 changes. May as well drive and get a hotel in Brum for the night or get the coach.Just seen it mentioned that the earliest Sunderland to New Street train gets in 20 minutes into the game

I've seen a few moaning that they've got train tickets that are now useless (anyone know if Otis has any relatives in the north east?). You'll have people who can't drive too so other than coach it'll be their only option if they can't find someone to give them a lift

The Premier League games usually kick off later - the earliest PL KO on that date is 2pm
So one of the channels stay with the EFL game for the post match analysis (guff) and the other switches across immediately to the PL game coverage
Cool I don’t think prem games start till later that day. I was planning on going to this but can’t now so hopefully I can watch it
