    Amazing.

    That away end is going to feel very empty in a couple of weeks!

    I wonder if Lyle Taylor is beginning to regret not signing for them.

    Nice to see their fans support the team!
  • 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.

    Don’t forget to take that tongue out of your cheek, @RodneyCharltonTrotta

    Whilst the other 25,000 know the score and do not like being shafted.

    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!

    Well if they have 3 seasons of mid table division one and are signing 33 year old journeymen lets see how many ST's they sell then.

    .

    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.

    That's more than we've sold in total in 4 years under Roland.

    They have a 48000 seater stadium, so there will still be 20-25000 empty seats each match!

    About the same amount of empty seats as ours
