Don't worry Luk, there was 70 or so at the game behind closed doors with Hartlepool FC and Stockton Town have much bigger fan base. Basically there's a number of options on the table and knowing Martin Hillerby like I do, he will be discussing these with Sunderland AFC to come to a suitable agreement that is in the interest of both clubs. Also it would be better for you to approach Stockton Town with regards to the game rather than ask on here as the officials there will be more informed about it than anyone on here. Personally I'd like to see the tie switched as I believe it would be another record crowd for Stockton Town.
I am a Sunderland fan and have watched our reserves in all their forms since as long as I can remember. I would also like to see the game. I was locked out of the Hartlepool match and watched the first half over the fence and the second half from the balcony of the Bob Paisley lounge overlooking the ground.
It would have been best if we had been drawn away in my opinion. I have no confidence in those currently in charge at SAFC even understanding the issues involved, let alone doing the right thing.
