220 is some going mind. Practically every game over the past few seasons isn't it?

Given it only includes points for one and half seasons, it's basically every single game for a 70 point ST holder. 80 point ST holders could miss 10 away games over the same period to hit the same points.220 is some going mind. Practically every game over the past few seasons isn't it?
Funny guy...Here’s me able too remember when you lot never bothered to turn up at Roker how times change
That’s where the system fails for me.Given it only includes points for one and half seasons, it's basically every single game for a 70 point ST holder. 80 point ST holders could miss 10 away games over the same period to hit the same points.
Agree. Chairman/gold card status should be changed to 10+ years plus - or something to that affect to allow newer fans the chance to obtain the same priority points. My 9 and 11 year old son go to far more games than my Dad but have less points and have to go to approx 5 more away games a season to level it up.That’s where the system fails for me.
Gold card and chairman’s drink card holders will always have a big advantage over regular season card holders with no way of regular season card holders achieving either status.
I think when fans get 20 years unbroken season ticket holder stage, they should qualify for a gold card.Agree.

So we should just match away allocations as a % (league rules permitting). Once their own fans are complaining they might take a more realistic view.The club will have been negotiating and this is as good as they could get.
There is always empty seats in the end under the away fans, nothing stopping our lot going In there, recipe for disaster caused by themselves.Already know of lads getting tickets in the home end.
They’ve created a much worse situation here
Here's your brown envelope Mr chief inspector.To what extent is the allocation influenced by police 'guidance'?
Sunderland Echo says 'It could be that both clubs have agreed on a reduced away ticket allocation for the fixture.' I wouldn't be that surprised.
I would be very surprised. Why would Boro agree to that?Sunderland Echo says 'It could be that both clubs have agreed on a reduced away ticket allocation for the fixture.' I wouldn't be that surprised.
Here's the Echo articleI would be very surprised. Why would Boro agree to that?
I don't get that really. I'm sure Carrick and Gibson would both like as many Boro fans at SoL as possible. Why wouldn't they?Here's the Echo article
Call me a cynic but I can see both clubs and constabularies coming to an informal agreement to reduce away tickets and therefore policing costs. Police are happy, Boro fans blame SAFC and vice-versa for return fixture. Clubs don't care about what away fans think.
Depends on police advice. Both clubs will want to keep their respective constabularies onside. The clubs could obviously increase gate revenue for one game but this could result in higher policing costs in the future if the police feel the clubs aren't responding to informal guidance.I don't get that really.

It could be I guess Jack, but sad if true.Depends on police advice. Both clubs will want to keep their respective constabularies onside.
