Apparently, according to the media, the date and time of this fixture only affects Man City and only they have fixture congestion.
Any theories why your game hasn’t been allocated a date/time by the TV companies yet. As I understand, ITV get 1st & 3rd pick, with BT sport getting 2nd and 4th.As ITV have already (unsurprisingly) chosen Arsenal v Everton, then the silence from BT sport suggests they fancy either of the other ties before yours.
Even Coventry’s visit to Arsenal was picked quicker.
Perhaps I’m being a bit dim here, but if they fancy one of the other two ties how does it explain a delay? They just pick one they fancy, then ITV pick their next one. Simples.
I didn’t see it myself but was it a young scrawny blonde haired lad? He was escorted out of the ground from the concourse by a steward long before kick off then reappeared a couple of minutes later. He walked straight into me as if I was invisible then proceeded to pinball off fans and walls to the end of the concourse before somehow making his way up the steps.
Yes it was our semi final attendance against Arsenal in the League Cup. About 7500 below our average league attendance at the time. How many lower than their average league attendance was Sunderland’s semi final gate?
12,181 was actually 8,428 less than the average crowd of 20,069 that season, which equates to 59%.
The crowd of 31,547 was around 76.5% of the current average of 41,240.
Are you one of the 177?[/quote]
No I wasn’t one of the 177, but fair play to those that were there. I actually had a pleasant night with my current girlfriend. Now I’m not as prolific as some in that department, but I have had a few previous girlfriends. But I’ve only ever had one football team. After all, a football team is for life isn’t it? Don’t you agree?
And while I was having a night with my girlfriend you was researching historic Wigan Athletic attendances and playing with your calculator. Says a lot really. Now I realise it wasn’t your intention, but you did manage to prove my statement, that Sunderland, like Wigan Athletic, lose a good sized chunk of their support when it comes to lower profile cup matches, even a League Cup semi final. And don’t hide behind the claptrap about us defending our trophy. We only started our defence less than 4 weeks ago, but you’ve been singing the same boring old song for years.
Oh and one last thing. In 2012, when Wigan Warriors where defending the 2011 Challenge Cup their first home attendance was less than 4,200. Criticise that, gobshite.

You’re doing absolutely nothing to disprove the theory that you’re nothing more than a typical no-mark, tight-arsed rubgy fan who will only put himself out if it’s a freebie.
So, I’m pretty much similar to the 18,000+ Wembley attendees that failed to show up on Saturday then – the main difference being I have the honesty to admit I wouldn’t pay for a ticket under any circumstances.
I may be a “typical no-mark, tight-arsed rugby fan who will only put himself out if it’s a freebie”, but I’m not a hypocrite.[/quote]
Yes you are. You only ever criticise one club for having lower attendances at lower profile games even though the same situation applies to the two teams you support these days.
I’m sure you can guess what the sad sack is on about. But he will ignore the fact that when a certain rugby league club defended their cup title they could muster slightly over 4000 in the first game of their defence of the cup.
I’m not sure what is the saddest. The attendance at their match or the fact that sad boy has been waiting dick in hand for today to come around.
Its been obvious for two months we are struggling up front. Half the league seem like they are loaning strikers yet we persevere with these two has beens. Does Coyle watch the same games?
We have one who’s been waiting for 1/2 a chance and Coyle sends him on loan,
Dicko , scores 1 , and makes 1 for his first match on loan at Rotherham. But then again Coyle can’t see past the end of his nose.[/quote]
Coyle isn’t the only manager to not rate him highly enough though.
It’s an obvious answer, but I would say Tranmere in the League Cup, assuming ypu mean the first competetive match.
Last I heard it was a free country. That’s what the people that the poppies represent were fighting for. You might not agree with everything people do or say but they have the right, within reason, to do so. That’s why we have to put up with shit stirring threads like this.
Indeed it does although the heavy discount given to heinz workers and the free tickets helped to push that figure up to 19000 as you have managed to swing it round to attendances again (which you have previously stated does not concern you ) Maybe you would like to give the forum the previous 4 years of attendances for fixtures for games againat the mighty Giants if you choose not to I’m sure eggmon willYou forgot to mention Groupon.
