Embarrassing
If I lived in Sunderland,Bradford or Luton you would have nothing else to do.
I bet the crime rate statistics go well down when Sunderland are playing at home.
Barnsley sold over 8000, honestly how can people claim we are a big club in the wrong division
Embarrassing
Wasn't a weird argument.You made another wierd argument about promotion and upward movement is not as much a positive as a club getting relegated.
That’s odd. Our sales slumped massively every time we got relegated
based on the anecdotal evidence of people I know and through reading this forum there seemed to be a lot of people getting STs who hadn't bothered for the last couple of years, obviously that hasn't panned out across the general population of the city.
I'm with you Otis. I think you have to look at the demographic of the City to understand our apparent low ST figures. I bet if you broke down those numbers that sign up you would find many are of retirement age and at least middle aged with some kids. I also bet that many of our support derives from the more working class areas where money is tighter now. The cost of living in the UK versus average wages is appalling in reality and by committing to an ST, they are generally also committing to all the other ancillary spending that goes with attending.Sorry, Evo, I just don't get that argument.
Sunderland's average attendance last season was 27,600.
Ours was 11,200. Big difference.
Also, you have to factor in that Sunderland are red hot favourites, so a lot of their fans will be expecting a very big season from them and they have also reduced prices.
I couldn't fork out the ST in full, so had to do the payment option and I'm sure it's the same for many others.
You also need to factor in the amount of fans we lost. Yeah, they all came to Wembley, but that's just one game. Bit different to going up week in week out.
There's still time anyway. Be great if we can get to near 7,000.
Oh dear, cannot see where Otis has wrote that or even insinuated it. You seem to be applying your own twisted logic there.The fact fans is coventry have no money but they do in Sunderland?
That's not like Grendel to do that.Oh dear, cannot see where Otis has wrote that or even insinuated it. You seem to be applying your own twisted logic there.
Early yet. Your dedicated fan buys a season ticket early doors, others wait to see who we sign and who we sell. Imagine if we tie McNulty down to a new contract we would see a substantial increase in sales
Yep, another 112 at least.Early yet. Your dedicated fan buys a season ticket early doors, others wait to see who we sign and who we sell. Imagine if we tie McNulty down to a new contract we would see a substantial increase in sales
Wasn't a weird argument.
When we went down from the Premier many of us thought we would piss the Championship.
I'm sure many Sunderland fans will think they can walk League One.
It's not weird.
As I say, there's not really an argument to be had. It's disappointing, but to be expected.
Don't quite get why everyone is so surprised.
Still time yet. I would expect it to be higher, but can understand why it is not.
That's not like Grendel to do that.
Not like him to just argue for the sake of arguing either.
Not going to keep arguing. It's pointless.The very first post on this lack of sales you said “people haven’t got the money”
Is that a valid reason and if it is why have Sunderland managed to sell 17,000 - where is that money coming from?

It's clearly not just about money, but City fans are obviously more reluctant to part with any money they do have.
I know I struggle to pay for my ST and I know people who say they can't afford it.
Unless you are calling these people liars of course?

The majority probably all work at the Nissan plant and are on big money
There’s about 4000 cov lads that work at JLR alone lol , on enough money to buy season tickets for them and 2 friends
Lol true , loads of cov lads but like I said earlier reality is most don’t support the cityThey all get freebies to watch Wasps
How are we going to be more competitive without the budget to pay for an improved team. Robins has been very clear about needing the fans back on side.Having supported City since 1966 and had season tickets on and off during the time, I'm certainly not investing in an ST until we prove to be a competitive team again. Parting with my hard earned on the back of the 1st succesful season in a very long time, wont induce me. I live in Norfolk so it's a good 60 to 70 quid every time I visit the Ricoh no matter what the price of entry is.
I'm considering becoming a member and buying a match package when they become available. To some of you on this thread, this makes me a part time wanker who ought to go & support somebody else. Couldn't give a toss frankly
It depend on the individual , but we all know people who spend 100 pound a month on sky with all the extras , we all know people who spend 200 a month on booze , 34 pound a month for a ST on finance is well within 10,000 people’s budget from a region of 4-600,000 people
Which is what I said at the start, we should really push on the finance thing. I bet loads of people don't even know there is that option.
And don't disagree with me, cos I have lost count of the amount of Coventry folk who still don't know the Godiva Festival even exists, let alone know it is free.
Well there you go.I didn’t know it was free tbh lol
All of my spare money goes on the City too. Pretty much every last single penny.i Guess my version of loyalty and commitment is different to others , I did t have a pot to piss In for years but still followed , lads I see away from home week in week out have nothing but all their spare money Goes on city , true story .
The problem lies when people just don’t go at all , they moan about prices which is fair enough but why not go once every 4 games or something .
Instead they just don’t bother

Remember that MR has walked out on us once.... Convince me that he won't do it again. Obviously you can't say he'll stay for ever and ever.Robins has been very clear about needing the fans back on side.
