It's all a conspiracy - Quinny and Ollie are best friends which has led to this friendly and which has led to the Ollie-puppet putting Quinn on the panel to pick the clubs Ollie wants to play against next season! Everything fits! :eek:

I dont think its too much a stretch of the imagination that it may have been pointed out to Quinner that Shels are having big money problems and could do with a decent gate which a Premiership team might bring?

I would apologize for my error, but I'm actually quite pleased my knowledge of the English game has deteriorated to such a degree that I don't know which division Sunderland are in. WOO-HOOO

ZZ - out of genuine curiousity, how do/can you identify with Sunderland ?

300 quid? Does Ollie arrange tours or something? Thats outrageous. I go to the odd Everton game and usually pay 40 to 60 euro for my return flight plus �26 stg for my match ticket, another 20 for drinking and chips avec cheese and onion pie (the pie is the real reason I still go!) and thats it.

Have Sunderland fans hounding me about where to get tickets. I presume it wont be all ticket?

They'll probably send a bucket around at half time for a collection to be divided between both teams to help with the bills!!!!:p

With Shels in financial bother (apparently) Quinn is probably just using
the game to see if theres any players he can pick up on the cheap

€300 for a Sunderland game!!! You could get 3 nights in Barcelona with direct flights and top grade tickets for less than that. Jeesh, some of you premiership/championship (where's the puke smiley) fans are mugs...

In other news, if Sunderland win does that mean Shels don't qualify for the Delaney League?

Shels will be the only Premiership team playing in that game!:D :eek:

Does this mean that they're doing Sunderland a favour:confused:

I think its just a pre-season friendly, no hidden agenda, there will be no sell out crowd for Shels. Shels will have their usual support and a couple of hundred hardcore mackens will be there. Perhaps a few extra might show up.

As for the guy who spends �300 going to Sunderland, presume that includes return flight from Newcastle and an overnight stay. Stadium of light is still one of the best grounds in england. Average premier league game works out at about �150 all in for me. Some home games are more expensive due to bandwagon merchants (flights go up) and some aways work out cheaper cos irish fans "dont do aways".

yeah was just including costs of flight, hotel , match ticket , money for food drink .. works out around 300euro each time .. And no I didnt go to Denmark was down at Oxegen **** I musnt be a true Shels fan now. Regarding my affinity with Sunderland my Dad supports them so thats the only reason.

Well Shels were playing in Denmark the weekend before Oxegen. So you might just have answered your own question there

Sunderland official website has a piece on this match on its homepage - sorry copy and paste is disabled

Sunderland have agreed to waive any apperance fee and share of the gate as a "gesture of goodwill"

Hardly surprising when people will go to England to watch a game rather than go to a game here?!

Kind of hard to have atmosphere at matches if people are happy to go to English games instead.

If you're not part of the solution...

Just for the record, every game I've been at in England has had a ****e atmosphere. MAybe you should support someone other than Shels if their atmosphere isn't good enough
