Attendance Tonight

[borgelite]

Few people at work, who are Sunderland fans, have tickets in Boro end. Could spell trouble…..and they say they’re not bothered.

They say their not bothered, of course their not

 

[morrissey]

No way North Liwer is sold out but still looking like a decent attendance..

If the red and white stripes of Stockton manage to get in the boro end it should be capacity

I tell you what our record against them at Ayresome ... no wonder they didn't like coming here!

Stockton play in blue and yellow or did you mean something stupid?

Something stupid

 

[Middlesbrough123]

I wonder how many tickets at the stadium of like a riverside gate attendance would buy

Tool

 

[VestasBoro]

Over the weekend you couldn't buy tickets. The club do a really good of job of making it too hard to buy tickets sometimes. The North Lower can't be right surely?

They shut off a lot of that area for the families of the kids doing the half time penalties and the ball boys etc, i know i tried to buy an extra 1 and they'd shut off almost the entire bottom tier of the North to cover if friends and family wanted tickets and on the day the place was empty

 

[Otto42]

Why should there be a big crowd, it isn’t a derby or anything and its on tv

 

[Air Resistance]

I’m imagining if there are full blocked blocks in north it will be for schools/kids or something like that

 

[samborofc]

What was the official attendance tonight?

 

[BoroFur]

What was the official attendance tonight?

30,300 I think I heard.

 

[breakthewallsdown]

30,391

 

[TeaCider]

About what I expected, good effort.

I think if that had been a Saturday afternoon, it would have been a sell-out (minus segregation), even with our start to the season.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Only 6 or 700 seats left unsold this afternoon.
Where have all our seats gone?

Well I was wrong on that one!!

They is also 2k segregation

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

They is also 2k segregation

We used to have 35000.
We now have 31000 available.
We lost a few hundred with the big screen and the TV gantry.
The level of segregation is ridiculous.
We added 5k in 98 and now have lost most of them!

Segregation is mental. A wall type structure like West Ham have just put up, or a copper/steward on every seat with a spare seat or 2 between would suffice. I know it's only for 1 or 2 games every 2-3 years when we sell out, but it just looks a bit crap the frayed, knackered old netting doesn't it.
