Carabao Cup, 2019/20 - Round 3

[Longtimesupporter]

Usually on a Tuesday aren't they?

I'm hoping for Wednesday because I cannot go Tuesday. SW can play on the Tuesday.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Can I be the first to express my disgust at the club for not being able to get a ticket for this game...

 

[jt64]

If we couldn't get a big club away then someone mediocre at home is the next best thing

 

[Pollingtonblade]

To be fair I’m glad we didn’t get the pigs at home we would never live down playing in an half empty ground against them.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

I only turn up for games against big teams anyway so I'd sit this one out.

 

[mattbianco1]

Forget putting the first team out for this one we have Liverpool at Home 3 days after !!

And Everton 2 days before !

Or... We not likely to get a point vs. Liverpool so get us safely into RD4 playing a strong ish team.

We play all the big clubs away, in the league.

Make it £10 a ticket - kids for a £1, get Tufty to do a presser saying we're taking the cups seriously (even if we're not!) And let's get 20k+ in there!!

I think the fact that he turned round to double check what the league cup was called in his post match interview has put paid to the idea that he gives a toss about the Carabao cup haha

 

[s4-blade]

Make it £5 for season ticket holders, £10 for everybody else, give Sunderland the BLUT, BLLT and the corner, give tickets to local clubs and sell out.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Get the tickets on sale earlier and make it easier for part timers to buy! And being the premier league team we should get first dibs on which day we play. Last season, how many times were we moved to the Wednesday? We play on Tuesdays!

 

[pudseyblade]

Still no date for this? The BBC has a few games switched to the wednesday, but us and the pigs still both Tuesday, which I assume won't be sanctioned by SYP given the numbers the two away sides might also bring

Sheffield Wednesday are playing on the Tuesday night - their tickets are already on sale. Bit surprised we still haven't announced the day we're playing yet.

 

[Addison]

The day is down as Pig day 25 September not Tuesday on the fixture list 19.45 k.o. Seems like Pigs got precedence for Tuesday because they've got Everton.

As we're due to play Liverpool at 12.30 on the Saturday this is likely to be a second string game again.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Pigs ought to change their stupid fucking name if they keep refusing to play on a Wednesday.

Confirmed for pig day https://www.sufc.co.uk/news/2019/september/sunderland-tickets/

So £15 again and no Kop open.

Despite the financial boost of a bigger away following.

Another second string friendly it is.

Great work, United.

A fine way of communicating "we don't give a shit about this, don't turn up".

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Really don’t get why we shut the kop for this one.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Really don’t get why we shut the kop for this one.

Because the crowd will be about 10,000 again, whats the point in costing the club money by opening parts of the ground that are not needed.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Everton will play their 2nd string their fans won't be too interested in playing the pigs.
I think Sunderland will bring more fans it will mean more to them.

 

[Sean Thornton]

So are we filling the ground (?) or boycotting?

 

[Dkc]

Because the crowd will be about 10,000 again, whats the point in costing the club money by opening parts of the ground that are not needed.

The crowd will be more if we open the kop. Also, having the kop backing the team will give us a greater chance of winning.

Play a second string eleven by all means, but ffs open the kop. It dilutes our home advantage if we don't.

I bet a lot of people who were blinded by the floodlights while sat in the SS or JSS will consider giving this one a miss. Not sure If I would pay 15 quid to sit in a stadium without any home atmosphere, while risking blindness.

 

[SB_90]

bloody typical i was going to make the effort to switch at work to get to this game on Tuesday & then utd cock it all up by putting it on wednesday. which means it clashes with romesh ranganathan id had booked since November/December last yr

 

[SB_90]

A fine way of communicating "we don't give a shit about this, don't turn up".

to be fair, we probally dont. you ask fans if you could have a cup run in 1 competition FA Cup or League Cup. i would say 85% or 90% would say fa cup. for prestige & finalincal reasons.

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Burton have 4 former blades starting.. without looking can you guess em?

I wonder what the record is for number of our former players starting for another team?

 

[Digs blade]

Bradford, Quinn, Ward, Mcfadzean? And I didn’t check honest

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Bradford, Quinn, Ward, Mcfadzean? And I didn’t check honest

Brayford and Quinn yes.

 

[Digs blade]

The other 2 will be really obvious but can’t think
