toontoasey 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 was amazed to see an advert for the home game on saturday against Bolton advertising tickets, i thought every home game was more or less a sell-out at SJP, could it be that Souness management and our pathetic performances under him have driven some of the fans away, i wonder?? till i die.

I think we've still managed 50k+ for every league game at St. James' this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I cringe when I see these adverts, especially the 'it's in your blood' shite. People know if a game is on or not, if they want to go they'll go, I doubt very much someone sits at home and goes 'eeee..are we playing Bolton Saturday?' Maybe if they dropped the price for League and Cup games we wouldn't have to advertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they dropped the price for League and Cup games we wouldn't have to advertise. 101292[/snapback] Must work though. It was hilarious under Souness when we were playing shite and they had to find some positive hook like "Can Newcastle do the double over Blackburn?". I think the attendance figures are a load of bollocks mind - they must count all ST holders as being there. I remember last year there was a midweek league game with large gaps as people simply couldn't be arsed to go yet it was apparently over 50,000. Yeah, right.

Renton 22003 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 On a related note, will the mackem game sell out? Wonder if SAFC will send me a ticket offer as a "valuable customer"? [the people who lived in my house before me must have been mackems as this is what I received. SMB]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at SJP in 1997 (no away fans allowed) a group of mackems cheered behind me in the East stand when they scored first. They shat themselves when they realised what they'd done (I have no idea how they got 30 tickets together). One of them disappeared to the toilet and didn't reappear.

Tooj 17 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I remember the 1-0 there a few years back when Nobby scored the penalty and i had the misfortune of deciding to accept a ticket in the Mackem end, never again shall i be doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 They probably advertise so people realise there ARE tickets available - if anyone asks me I always tell them they don't stand a chance of a ticket so its agood thing IMHO The advert is crap of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontoasey 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 yeah i been to a derby and been in with the unwashed, worse 90minutes of my life, even though we won 2-1, i could hardly contain myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzo 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 It's too risky. I don't think you can properly enjoy it. Better just to watch it in the bar, and have a sing in there etc. and jump around when we score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've been offered one by a mackem season ticket holder who's stopped going, he's that fed up. I've heard a rumour that mackem season ticket holders are being given the chance to apply for an extra tciket for our game as well. Don't know if that's true or not. Anyway, there's no fucking way I could sit with them. What am I supposed to do if we score? What am I supposed to do if they score ffs? I remember when I used to sit in the Milburn at the game where the away fans were banned, the mackems scored and there was a load of them in one of the corporate boxes behind us, started to bang on the window and give us the Vs etc. There was hell on.

I can't believe I let my friend talk me into it. There was the two of us (both lasses) plus my mam's then boyfriend (a big stocky fella) and his 9 year old son, who were Sunderland supporters. It was the game where Solano scored and I'm just fucking glad it was a penalty so I had a chance to restrain myself - if we had've just scored I would've got killed. My friend and I went into the same toilet cubicle at half time and just jumped up and down for a few minutes to celebrate. We were completely outed when they had a late goal disallowed. We were sat in the second row and the entire row in front (apart from one newly outed mag) ran forward towards the pitch to celebrate. We just sat there in disbelief, then pissed ourselves laughing when they turned round and sat back down. Left very soon after that. Absolutely never again though.

Bellers 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I remeber them doing it for the West Ham game at the begining of the season, it's probably just a call to all the so called arm chair pundits to get down and make up the extra numbers.
