    Was talking to a Sunderland fan at work yesterday and he said that Newcastle had requested 11k tickets to watch their under 21's in the EFL game at the SOL next month. The old bill intervened and they've ended up with 3k.

    11k! Think he's stretching the truth a bit there.


    Newcastle United have received an allocation of just 2,800 tickets for their under-21's Checkatrade Trophy derby clash as Sunderland.

    The Checkatrade Trophy rules say that away clubs are entitled to 10% of a stadium’s capacity.

    For this match it should have meant at least 4,900 tickets for Newcastle fans.

    However, after Newcastle asked for that full allocation, Sunderland Director Charlie Methven revealed they were trying to deny their local rivals the full allocation.

    Many Newcastle United fans are going to be unhappy as Sunderland have restricted the Magpies to only 2,800 tickets, which is even less than you would be entitled to (minimum 3,000) if it had been a Premier League game.

    The rivals will clash in the last 16 of the competition on January 8 at the Stadium of Light.
    Surely if the ruled are 10% they cant suddenly change that

    Can probably do what they like and say it's 'on police advice'. Police aren't exactly going to argue with having less work to do.

    as an aside .. Sunderland fans (2,637 of them) made the 640 mile round trip to Pompey to see their defender Loovens sent off and their team lose 3-1 .. expect a few more than that at the Valley on 5/1

    Sunderland have sold near to 3,000 seats in the Jimmy Seed Stand for the match and, should they sell out, tickets will immediately be placed on restricted sale to prevent Black Cats fans from buying in the home areas.

    I cant imagine there will be more then a few hundred extra Charlton turn up at best. You wont see another 2-3K Charlton in the ground just because its Sunderland.

    There might have been if this game was near the end of the season and we were in the promotion mix, but in January?

    I can't imagine for a nano second that there will only be 300 more home fans for Sunderland, than there were v Walsall.
    (having seen Charlton play both Sunderland and Walsall over the last 45 plus years).
    There will be an announced attendance of 15,000 minimum.

    NB I don't recall too many people discussing the Walsall game in advance).

    Only if all the protesters/stayaways decide to turn up.......like they did for the Shrewsbury play-off game. Glory hunters.

    Perhaps the club should be pinning song sheets to all the seats just so your "Jonny come latelys" can join in with all the new songs......

    Golfie. Do my 50 years in April (Cardiff 4-1) but living in West London, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Australia and Surrey, largely unemployed during most of Duct-tapes reign, I was still one of the Belgium 200. I respect your support. Please respect mine.

    Buy you are beer in Vanbrugh Saturday? I enjoy your posts even if polar opposite to mine?

    I'll tell you why an Oz is an Addick and perhaps you can give me tips on my swing.

    I’m in the Covered End (that’s the lower north to those of you that are newbies and should never be confused with the upper north) and I don’t know the words to that one yet and I suspect I’m not alone in that because nobody in the CE seems to join in. By the time the sound drifts down to us the words are unintelligible...are there words to it ?

    Whether it’s 200 (that figure seems a bit high to me) or 2,000, nobody will notice because the team is challenging for promotion and crowds will naturally increase anyway. The opportunity to make a statement return because Roland has left has passed (for this season at least).
