Step 1: remove over 65s discount

Old fogeys aren’t the future of the club, get rid of the deadwood and get the youngsters in. Also, ST holders that don’t turn up and don’t put their ticket on the buy back get an automatic 1 match ban

Essentially applying the club’s model for the playing squad to the fan base. Time to get rid of the fan equivalents of Shane Duffy and Sorensen (never available)

🎣 🎣 😉

I’m joking of course. Generally it’s pretty easy to get tickets for a family if you’re a member, but it is impacted a bit by the size of the away following. As Norwaay says, trying to get tickets on the day of the game is always a big ask. That we’re close to a sell out suggests that there will be quite a lot of families there, doubt Sunderland have taken the full allocation
