Sunderland attendances in 2021/22:
Wigan (first home game): 31,549
Wycombe (3rd home game): 29,344
Bolton (big team): 32,368
Cheltenham (3 days later): 28,313
Morecambe: 26,516
Sheffield Wednesday: 34.652
Doncaster: 38,395
Fleetwood Town: 28,017
Rotherham (last league game): 33,119
Playoff semi final: 44,742
What happened to the fans who didn't fancy going to see Sunderland face the likes of Morecambe, Fleetwood, where there's a drop of around 40% on their playoff semi final crowd? Seems like Sunderland fans are more likely to come out for a big game.
Sunderland have had a few crowds around the 41k mark this season, yet only 27k fancied going to see us play up there.
Yes, Sunderland have more supporters than us, I couldn't give a rat's arse. You described them as loyal. I beg to differ.
