[PL] Sunderland (H): Build Up

[poorscousertommy]

I'll be there. I'll still give all my support even when we are ****.

It's how it's meant to work.

[poorscousertommy]

I can see this being a close 8-7...

Neither of us can score!

[gratziani]

nil nil , with no hot spots in opposing boxes from both sets of forwards ,

be careful anybody that does walk out you could be under attack from Lucas or Lallana with some wayward shooting.

[Daniel 7]

Steven Fletcher went on loan to Marseille - what's the deal with that?! Why did they want to sign Steven Fletcher from Sunderland? On loan?! Seems a very unlikely place for such an agricultural footballer.

Is the correct answer although loads will be there that will be moaning at the team rather "supporting" it.

...and walking out after 77 mins in protest at ticket prices.
I get the statement but surely supporting the lads on the pitch for the full 90 mins is more important. Ticket prices aren't their fault...

Nah, making a stand against these disgraceful prices is far, far, far more important.

[frank the tank]

It will be interesting to see how many people fock off at 77mins.

If the team are 2 or 3 goals up, then it is likely to be more..... if it's a close game, then people won't even notice that it is the 77th minute!!!

Not sure if I will walk out to be honest. (Not sure i will last 77 minutes either!!!)

[shanks69]

There will be a fair few who will be at the match who don't go that often for various reasons,I can't see them walking out on 77mins.

[RedReet]

Does that mean that those who like to avoid traffic will be leaving at half time?

Agricultural

He's got some tekkers, remember he was famously scouted by Real Madrid (and LFC) when he was a kid at Hibs. He's definitely made a mistake going to the footballing career graveyard of Sunderland - so any move from there is a good one!

His agent has played a blinder for him!!!

Can't totally absolve them of blame, its their wages that apparently is the reason the club are being greedy. That and wanting to buy more lads on astronomical wages. If the club will do **** all maybe the players could although that's highly unlikely too.

I'm fully on board with the idea of protest but I don't see how the club will care about this one cos everybody who ups and leaves will have already paid the ticket price into the club coffers. Its a measly few million a year to the club but that would make a massive difference to the fans and the club would barely miss it. The club don't see the bigger picture, trying to close the financial gap on those ahead of them by squeezing every penny but in reality if they lead the way on this and reduced prices other clubs would be pressured to doing it too and the gap would remain the same.

Get a good team on the pitch winning things and that gap will close by itself as the commercial deals reflect success.

Walking out on 77 minutes will only serve to negatively impact the team's performance, it isn't hurting FSG as the seat has been paid for.

A far better campaign would be to stop buying product during matchday. Boycott the food and drink stands, don't buy a programme, don't buy anything from the club shop. That will send a message without impacting on the players' performance.

[BigChief]

When our fans walk out of Anfield, will we notice on BBC FiveLive?

Customers have every right to complain if the product/service is not opto standard.
