Re: Sunderland FA Cup: sub 10k?

Would a temporary fix not be to have a pop up 'stall' outside each stand with a bloke selling tickets? Surely all he needs is a cash register and a ticket printer (or have them pre printed)

Not ideal at all but that could be a temporary fix.

Re: GOOOOOOOD MORNING BURNLEY . . .

It's a strange game, we will gain something even if we lose really because we're giving you extra games at a period when you're squad is already stretched over AfCoN.

Sunderland FA Cup: sub 10k?

Are we likely to manage over 10,000 tomorrow night?

Disappointing if so, I think if the board have dropped the ticket prices but there is no increase in the take up they may not do it in future.

Was the last time they did this the £5 tickets v MK?

How many will Sunderland bring? 500?
