@WTFSunlunPod Be keen to know how other clubs with waiting lists go about this scenario. Has it always happened and are we just shocked because we’ve never had the demand/issue before?

But if you're one of those 1 in 10 who wants to move from an extremely expensive hospitality season ticket to a normal one... Sorry, you're fucked.
Business of Sport@bizzofsport

Sunderland’s rise this season has been one of the standout stories in football. A club that has spent the last decade fighting its way up, is now flying in its first season back in the Premier League. Tom Burwell, interim CEO, has seen this up close as a board member, but is now stepping up with a club that is building a model that can actually sustain their place in the top flight. Because @SunderlandAFC isn’t a typical football club… 1 in 10 people in the city holds a season ticket. And business decisions aren’t just financial, they’re cultural. So now comes the hardest part. Turning a local, community-driven club into a global Premier League business without losing what made it special in the first place. 🗣️ “ The relentless obsession for performance on & off the field has to be our driver” That shift changes everything: - How you grow revenue - How you build a fanbase - How you approach sponsorship - How you think about media and storytelling But more importantly, how do you build a modern football club.

🇧🇷🗣️ This is an INCREDIBLE story from David Luiz about his time in Paris: “A few months after I moved to Paris, two of my friends from Diadema came to spend some time with me there. They had broken up with their wife and girlfriend and were sad, so I invited them, hoping the visit would help clear their minds. Great. “They soon met other Brazilians, who played for a team like the seventh-division amateur league in the suburbs of Paris — all immigrants without proper papers. “Every night, my two friends came home angry, complaining that they were constantly beaten up. So, I said: “I’ll go over there tomorrow to watch you play.” And I did. “I arrived wearing a ninja hat, half disguised, and watched. The opponents were all dressed up, with their uniforms, equipment, water bottles, and a coach. And my friends’ team was wearing nothing: one in white shorts, another in purple, a third in yellow. The guys were hanging from the goalposts to warm up…. It was a mess. At the end of the match, which they lost, I asked: “Do you want me to train the team?” I’ll never forget the guys’ smiles. They were so genuinely happy and excited, something I had only seen when I was a kid, when we would fly kites in Diadema. I started training the guys every Monday, from 10 to midnight. Sometimes I would train them on Monday and play a Champions League match on Tuesday. I even remember scoring a goal against Barcelona on one of those days. I started loving Mondays. I couldn’t wait to be with those guys. We talked, I listened a lot, and I got to know each one’s stories and struggles. “Some made money playing capoeira, others delivering items on motorbikes or washing dishes. All of them had a hard life, afraid because of their illegal status, with little hope that things would improve, but football brightened up and took the weight off their days. On my first holidays, I went back to Brazil and went to talk to the ultimate crazy woman, my mother: “Mum, can you make stuff for the boys there?” “Say no more! She made travel polo shirts, tracksuits, match uniforms, training uniforms, everything in sizes S, M, L, XL…. I went back to Paris with 21 suitcases. The guys’ dedication grew along with their joy. We started training twice a week, then three times. We got promoted, and at the end of the season, I had a crazy idea. Another one. “I’m going to throw a gala for the team, just like PSG does for us every year.” I rented a castle-like nightclub where Matuidi had thrown his birthday party and started producing ours. “I had already hired a guy who used to film for PSG to film our guys’ matches, too. I asked him to bring all the videos to my house so we could watch them and choose the best goals of the year, the top scorer, the goalkeeper’s best saves. Let’s show them on the big screen! Then I ordered trophies for the winners of each category. Hey, but what about the others? Plaques! We’re going to make little wooden-and-acrylic plaques with each one’s name on them. Everything was perfect. The day before, I called the guys together: “Do you have a white button-up shirt and a basic black coat for tomorrow’s party?” Nobody had one. OK, I will buy you some. I went to the store myself and got some. Then I thought about their girlfriends and wives. I called the group again and gave each one some pocket money so that their SOs could buy a dress if they wanted. The party night arrived. And if I told you it was incredible, one of the most extraordinary emotional moments of my life, as cool as winning the Champions League, would you believe me?” 🎙️ @TPTFootball

@AndyJEssex @jack_lwy Exactly! My son is 8 years old and has 30 BCP. I dragged him to Gillingham away. Why shouldn’t he get to visit the Etihad or Tottenham stadium?! I have more points than him so tend to take the risk that it will get to his phase and get both our tickets then

@jack_lwy Also I’ll add to that. In 22/23 i got my lil bro in law his first ST. He started doing aways with me when he could get a ticket. He hasn’t missed a game this year. That is exactly why the loyalty exists, and shows it can be done. Just he did it before we were in the PL
