they wont get any of ours we will sell out and suspect both clubs could be offered up to 5k more

There is a fixed amount of seats that go to Wembley members, sponsors and segregation. Orient are getting 1400 more tickets than us for the same game so that (doubled obv) can be the estimate of the additional corporate demand given ours is the bigger game. Neither club will get anywhere near 5k more.
 
Fair play to them, but with 35000 season ticket holders it was always going to be a stampede at their end, and no jonny come lately can jump the queue.

A little different for us where time has to be spent ensuring that the most deserving of fans get first dibs before the jonny come lately's
 
No surprises considering their home attendance of 45 odd thou the other night. Some will have missed out.
Aye they have a huge variation in attendances between when they're doing well and shite, we're fairly steady but then we are also limited by the size of our ground when we're doing really well
 

My daughter got kicked off when she got to the front of our queue. Will try again in an hour when I get home.
 
No they havent
Ive been in a crowd of less than 15k at Roker Park

Indeed.

And they went down as low as 8,000 for some matches in a period through the early 70’s and then again for several seasons in the late 80’s.

They are one of those clubs - and we all know of another one - where the gates can fluctuate wildly over a matter of weeks. For instance, in 1970/71 season, their league gates ranged from a high of 42,617 to a low of 8,596. Their average that season was just 15,780.

In the season that they won the FA Cup (72/73) they had a league crowd of 11,141, and the following season - as FA Cup holders - they had a league gate that dipped to 8,142.

Throughout the 70’s and 80’s, Sunderland’s gates were notable for the fact that there would in most seasons be a variance of 25-30,000 between their lowest gate and their highest. Sometimes the gap was as much as 35,000.

This would suggest that they have traditionally had a large number of supporters to call on for the big matches and special occasions, but that - in common with every club to a greater or lesser degree (other than Man U) - it can be quite fickle/soft.
 
and they would've sold more. Way more. Record numbers more and then double it

In fact they've already sold out their next play off final and they don't even know when it will be
Another Chansiri ruse like the 10 year season tickets and paying for next year's away shirt back in September without even seeing it?
