Sunderland took 1,500 to Morecambe for one of the group games. On that evidence, they are certainly not boycotting the competition. Because they don't understand and/or care about the risk that this competition format normalises B teams playing lower league First team competitions. They don't see themselves staying down here long enough to be affected. Didn’t Higgs say something like that in jest after we had dropped into League 2 for the first time when arriving late at an FA preseason meeting.

why? The money won’t be spent on the team etc straight in the pockets of the owners. Like the fee we just paid for JCH? How much was paid for him?

You should probably make up your mind whether the family are spending so much money on us we're not sustainable, or they're so tight they won't spend any money on us. You can't have both.

/ why not build another tent on the away terrace That was the plan pre-season if i remember correctly but I don't think we ever really got to the bottom of why it didn't happen. It looked like there was some confusion regarding the 2 new tents....

Away terrace South stand at present. With maybe the option for southwest stand as the west terraces appears to be not in use

I have heard that certain sections have been 'withheld' in case they want more. A forward move from the club !. This will work and the club needs to give Luton Charlton Barnsley as many tickets as they can... why? The money won’t be spent on the team etc straight in the pockets of the owners. And they breed Pumas then let them loose on Exmoor. They do, they do they do!

It looked like there was some confusion regarding the 2 new tents.... I was told by TG that site lines would be blocked and the new stand was cancelled . I went around and had a look at the away end during a corporate event and could see straight away it wouldn't work without putting the turn stiles out into the car park to allow for space for the stand. yet the club still put it on the club website that a new stand was going at that end, before realising the obvious.

Sunderland had a gate of 14,000 for the previous round to qualify for the semi with the Gas.
Their fans are truly fanatical and will see Rovers as an easy stepping stone to Wembley.

They get 30,000+ for league games so 14k is impressive but less than half. Its like us getting 4k (No one would think that that was impressive though )

Wouldn't it be better to go to the game and protest at the match, get behind the team and get them to Wembley, there is know better place to make a protest than at Wembley in front of the cameras. The more fans that support these games the more money the club gets from attendances.
Unlike the Trashton Gate scum we can protest without punching someone, or upsetting the away following
