New league syndrome. I still fondly recall the excitement and anticipation I felt on the eve of our first season in League One.
From May onwards all my friends and family talked of nothing else other than impending fixtures against Rochdale and Bury, Walsall and Northampton... not to mention the prospect of the A2 derby against Gillingham that had football conniseuers across Europe looking on in envy.
Quite easy to see how the Mackems are equally excited ahead of their glorious adventure in arguably the best league in world football in terms of competitiveness, quality of football and atmosphere.

It is but it’s worth remembering, they can be very fickle up there. A few years back they were walking out at half time. Fresh start up there supporters, club and owners. They should walk this league at the first attempt and maybe like us should never of ended up this low. But that’s what happens when clubs are badly managed.
Remember a fair few of them trying to leave the ground when we went 3 up after they kindly put the ball in the onion bag on all three occasions, to find out that the gates were locked!
Sunderland are a club supported by local fans, people who mainly live in the City of Sunderland,much like their neighbours Newcastle where football dominates the lives of the people,whereas most of our supporters live outside the local area,probably less than ten per cent live in Royal Borough of Greenwich. Newcastle fans hate their owner,Mike Ashley, want rid of him yet still get full houses most home games, The team to people in the north -east comes before anything else & i'm looking forward to supporting my team at Sunderland on the 4th of August.
I remember reading somewhere that during their home game agaisnt Chelsea in the 2015-16 season, the ref, for the first time in his career, couldn't hear his assistants through earpiece because of the noise the Sunderland fans created in the stadium. (It was a wonderful comeback win over Chelsea) Their fans do seem extremely passionate.
