Title: Sunderland Tickets
Post by: Move DRFC on April 02, 2019, 11:19:58 am
Does anyone if Sunderland away is unreserved seating?

No but, rightly or wrongly it will be, if you catch my drift...

Some how I can imagine the stewards at Sunderland being a bit stricter than say Wycombe or Colchester

You'd have thought so at Leicester the day they got the Championship trophy when we just about sold out.

You'd have been wrong then though.

You can sit or stand wherever you want at Sunderland. When we went last season the stewards were really good, as were the OB. They just left you to it, and there was no trouble about you can't drink in this or that pub.

What is it like for parking there?
Is the best option the club car park?
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Side streets in south wick and 10 - 15 mins walk best bet

No worries, look for fitzroy terrace on Google maps. Been to a few games with mates since I live in Newcastle and those streets are where the locals tend to park

There's a car wash directly by the stadium car park. I think it was £5 last year. Very safe.

We have been allocated 2832.
Is it likely that we can sell them all?

I think t's likely we will sell the lot

Other Teams are taking loads there. Plymouth for one - even Fleetwood took loads more

The attraction is a two three or even four fold one :

1) New Ground for lots of people

2) Lots of people want to see Rovers play at every Ground - so they might have been to SOL already to "tick" the Ground off BUT they will want this one as well

3) Its a great Ground

4) and arguably the most important reason - the League Table

I am sure we will sell the lot

Ah Hound - just for clarity I meant there are just under 400 (now 388) left in that particular Block. I am sure there will be at least 1 maybe 2 Blocks still to go at

Just been digging about and I found that after initial allocation (we got 2832 I think) Sunderland do NOT give Clubs even more.

However I then found that the biggest away following seems to be Luton who actually are shown as having 3081 fans there.

Portsmouth are saying they have been given "just under 3000 Tickets" for their way game there in 3 weeks time so it looks like we will be stuck to somewhere near that figure - so if you want to go - pile in asap

Post by: retford rover on April 05, 2019, 01:42:31 pm
to date we have sold  1680 approx  so still over a 1000 left

Question is... will you be sad enough to go and watch Newcastle vs Southampton on the Saturday?

If not, see you in Quayside Wetherspoons for brekkie on Saturday morning!
I'll be on the way for a four match tour of Holland and Belgium on the Saturday morning 😉

Hi Move

If you look at Reply #31 above and Reply #36 they both say 1000 (ish) left.

I keep track and at the mo I make it 1028 left so not the figure in your quote at the moment although it might get there with so muck time to go

How many do you make it now Donnywolf?

I've estimated roughly 2200 sold. Looking unlikely that we'll sell out.

Dunno, there's still this week to go.

Not arsed, personally. I'll be there, my friends will be there which will make the day better than if not, the Rovers will be there, all that matters really. Be nice if the away end was packed but meh. People can't always afford it and people may have better things to do with their bank holiday - especially with it being on Sky.

If someone chooses to go to Accrington home rather than Sunderland away then the club makes more money. Not everybody can make most games due to time or finances.
Compared to 20 years ago we are doing ok.

Sorry I have lost track now a new Block has appeared but has only 24 Tickets left in it all in one row. The rest of the Block is greyed out

So that means 2303 or 2723. I am inclined to go with 2303 at the moment as it seems bizarre that a new Block of 400 ish has sold as quickly as that one !
EDIT .... yet another Block appeared now with about 30 Seats left all in a square right in a corner ? Odd
Title: Re: Sunderland Tickets
Post by: IDM on April 15, 2019, 04:15:48 pm
Unless that was a ticket office walk up/phone block which had been released online for the remaining seats.??

Either way we will take well over 2000 which is great.!!
