A bloke at work yesterday was saying we’ve just about crossed over 14k STs sold. I’ve not seen anything official about it, so I don’t suppose anyone on here has a better idea of how they’re selling?
I know it was just over 13k sold about 10-12 days ago so another 1k in that time is quite impressive.
Yeah not bad figures really.Quote:

I think someone posted the sales figures from recent seasons before? Does anyone have them to hand? What was the last prem season, 24,000 or so?
Sunderland have sold over 30,000 ST’s to date. https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport...n-sale-3768399.
That already puts them 3,000 ahead of any Championship club‘s average last season without counting away fans or more ad-hoc ticket buyers.
They’re a massive club to be fair, always have been. Also, no offence to any Sunderland fans, it’s an absolute shithole with nothing to do so everyone gravitates towards the football. That’s the impression I get anyways.Quote:

I think they would personallyQuote:

I think they would at their new stadium, Everton historically are in the top ten teams for supportQuote:

The key factor here was not Boris or brexit it was government cash . 🙄Quote:

As someone who’s visited Sunderland recently, that was me trying to be nice :hehe:Quote:
