Yes it was respectable but it could have been a lot closer to a sell out with more 'realistic' pricing. I don't think the Club do know their market as otherwise against a Prem team in the first competitive game at the Amex a full or close to full house could have been achieved with lower...
Is the club going to review the facilities provided in the WSU in view of the continuing issue of extremely long queues for the limited gents facilities?
Fans appreciate that there will always be a crush at peak times but surely this could be lessened if there were a more realistic split...
So five and half thousand empty seats was a good thing?
Those who think the prices were not too high are deluded - a very significant number of fans were discouraged by the pricing - FACT
Have just seen this on a Sunderland forum with a thread about Memories of Brighton Away :lol::lol:

I remember going early 90s – possibly not long before the cup final?
We drew 2...
Had been using Mill Road p & r until sat which was fine going in but obviously busy going back - got to Mill Road at 11 p.m. after Gills
Sat tried Mithras House as needed to get away pronto afterwards but the shambles outside was ridiculous. They had 3 buses waiting but weren't loading them for...
This is very valid as far as WSU goes and I contacted Elliott Moore weeks ago who replied "I am afraid this is a club issue and I have asked the Stadium Manager to consider more shelving for fans, I am sorry that I cant answer this one for you". Insider gave his usual non commital response when...
I absolutely agree with you and think many people will feel the same. It's interesting how many 'updates' there have been on the website encouraging people to 'get in while stocks last' - almost as if the club is desperate to attract a large crowd to justify the pricing. The fact they are the...
I haven't read the previous pages but am very dissapointed with the apparent attitude of the club who are allowing a relatively minor issue to escalate into a bad pr matter. I would like to think that a bit of common sense would prevail and that when considering the sums of money involved, you...
Most sensible thing I've read on here for a long time.
It's to be expected the club will look to commercially 'exploit' the fans more than in the past but they are treading a very fine line at times and a little humility in what they do when they do it would be a wise move.
Disagree with the pricing and disagree with your view. The point is that many STH's may well decide to stump up the money but they won't be happy 'having' to do it.
Yes it's their choice but it's their team that they support through thick and thin. The point is that this has clearly alienated a...
So the bakers have got to prepare 30,000 pies for a 7 day period and Harveys could probably expect to sell at least 30,000 pints + in a ridiculously short period - oh my!!
Excellent review and it seems they are going to need to do better as they will need to see people commenting "Great pre match venue and can't wait to go back" rather than "don't think we'll bother again".
They need repeat business and at 25 quid a pop plus drinks it is an expensive option that...
I thought exactly the same thing - she was uttely hopeless. There was a youth worker from Tottenham earlier and he was MUCH more inteligent and eloquent than her and it made me think people like him should be being consulted by DC at his Cobra meeting today and not dimwits like TM.
Very well and concisely put. Most of these scum bags will be back in school in September and the poor teachers will have to try to 'educate' them without the benefit of batons and riot shiels and then get it in the neck when political f*ckwits prevent them from trying to impose basic discipline...
It's getting beyond a joke now with my voice worse then ever and I just hope it's back for tomorrow evening - several pints of Harveys should do the trick (hope they've replenished stocks???)
Why have paper tickets been sent for this as when I visited the stadium this week to collect issue 4 of my WSU smart card I was told it was definitely on there? I know of others who have been sent paper tickets who don't know why and apart from the expense it must be adding to the work load of...
I was in there a couple of days ago and basically it looks as though Dick's is used on 'working' days as a staff canteen. The guy who served me in the club shop was in there as were load of other staff including Messrs Knight & Perry themselves.
Got to say that they need to improve the...
