What are the chances..... on 11:00 - Jun 20 with 1634 views | ITFC_Forever | Sunderland might well take the full allocation, but no more than the likes of Norwich usually get. No issue with Sunderland fans to be fair - always seemed a pretty down to earth bunch, passionate about their team and generally travel in good numbers. | |

That first home game has the potential to shape our season and our confidence early on. We should be doing everything possible to make the environment as uncomfortable as possible for Sunderland, not letting their fans take over Portman Road and give their players a boost. | | | |

What are the chances..... on 11:10 - Jun 20 with 1581 views | allezlesbleus | I'm all for as many fans as possible. Boosts the coffers and the atmosphere. If we can't sell out, then give more or all of the Cobbald Stand to away fans, if they want it. | | | |

Probably. They’re a very well supported club, it’ll be their first away game of the season and we will be seen as their biggest challengers for promotion | |

I am aware of that, but; Blackpool is around half the journey time. All the fans were off for Christmas. Realistically Ipswich is a 6+ hour drive from Sunderland. | |

I’m terrible at predictions but I’d imagine somewhere been 2 people and 50,000 people | |

I'd hedge closer to 2. ;-) | |

They’ll save the 50,000 for when they come back for the play off semis | |

You assume that they all come from Sunderland. Depending on location and day the Suffolk based Town support can be as little as 25% of the away fans there. Sunderland have a sizeable support base in South East, especially London. | |

Fair point. Although the example of the Blackpool match, the majority of fans travelled en masse from Sunderland. | |
