MattWSM Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Do we know if Sunderland sold all? I just had a look at home end and there isn't anything showing other than less than 200 seats in the upper lansdown If correct it must be about £25k with the segregated spaces.

pongo88 Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 In a way, this illustrates the disadvantages of Ashton Gate compared to Ashton Vale. In the past it was easy to decide to go to the game on the day. Now, due to capacity constraints, attendance must be planned in advance. At Ashton Vale, pay on the day would have been easy, which is what you want to attract more casual supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an issue that happens regularly at all. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a promotion push at the end of the season would see attendances reach full capacity. Edited August 4, 2022 by Kodjias Wrist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an issue that happens regularly at all. True, but why? Even when attendances are lower there is little incentive to pay on the day as there isn’t a good selection of available seats. For example, in some sections of the upper Lansdown you can only attend with a juvenile as these are family sections. Also, it’s obvious that you can’t buy a ticket in the Atyeo, even if the away support is limited to one man and a dog. Taking the Atyeo out of the equation, capacity for home supporters is only about 22k ish. The family sections reduces this further for adults only and a lot of what’s left is taken up by season ticket holders and advance sales. At Ashton Vale the options would have been far better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swings and roundabouts I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest it is also financially very inefficient to build extra capacity that would only be utilised very rarely - the occasional City game, possibly rugby against Bath and maybe summer concerts. Obviously if (when!) we get promoted that may change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashton Vale had been designed properly, and I can’t remember the plans, a stadium of 30k ish wouldn’t have looked much bigger than Ashton Gate’s current lopsided redevelopment of 26.5k ish. It could have had more two tier stands with the away supporters placed in the top tier of one of them. With crowds of 20k the lower tiers would have been full every match creating a good atmosphere. Can any remember what the proposed Ashton Vale stadium plan looked like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the plan to add a tier on each of the end stands to bring it to 42k in the event of the World Cup stadium hosts? Anyway, back to Sunderland, well done fans for virtually selling out. Should be a great atmosphere despite some fans being on holidays (that's why I pre-booked my holiday from Sunday's date!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the only way anyone on here can answer definitively (unless they work in the ticket office at Sunderland) is for them to do a search on the Sunderland OS ticket page.
