There were clearly a lot of ST holders missing yesterday, will probably look a little better in the home end once we hit school term time.

Thought it looked OK from the posh stand TBH. Only empty block was in the away end.

At least they agree...

Atmosphere yesterday

Not wanting digging anyone out, or 'have a go at our fans', but I think that's the quietest away end I've seen since I started going to away matches. Comprehensively out-sung by the Cov fans, fair play to them. Just wondering if anyone has any hypothesis about why that was the case? The fact we...

Seemed a lot of empty seats in the family zone, at a quick glance seemed a decent number of adults in there without kids.

School holidays or are people really buying and adult & kids ticket for a kid that will rarely attend? only saves you £50 over the price of a season ticket elsewhere in the ground

But why an empty block ?

I watched the Spurs/Man United match last week historically not the friendliest set of fans and the no-mans land was only about six seats wide with a line of stewards.
I think if the empty block in the south stand was opened up to pay on the day fans it would encourage a larger walk-up.

Was the same all last season, they don’t sell all the seats there unless they need to.

Isn't it because it's where the players' tickets are located and often they don't turn up?

To be fair, Sunderland didn't sell out what they were given.

One of the first times in 5 years they haven't sold an away end out on a Saturday. Says a lot about the pathetic £37 ticket.

Think players tickets might be the other side. The players often go over to people sat around 36, 37 (?) after the game. Might be split over both sides of course

I've definitely seen some player families in block 2 before.

It's very strange that those blocks are sold out but always have empty seats. Even in the play off match, there were empty seats there.

They were one of the loudest sets of away fans I heard at HR when we played them on the opening day of the season and beat them 2-0.

It’ll be people on holiday.

The effect is magnified this year because of so many season ticket holders

Or it's because when you only spend £50 on your kids ticket, you aren't arsed if they don't turn up most weeks?

Same thing isn’t it? I mean if you were that bothered about being at every match you’d plan your holidays around it.

Players family and friends have front five rows of part of block 36. On average about 50% full i’d say in general. I’m in the row behind.

Interesting that the stewards tried to get people to sit down at the back of block 21. Went on for ages until the fans started singing Stand up if you love city. Hundreds then stood up and the stewards had to give up!

I'm in Block 1 and see the same people every match filling about 50% of the block (ST holders), the rest seem to come and go with new faces and sometimes a lot of empties.
