RT's Vaseline Tub Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 An historically massive club with a loyal fan base as 45k expected in what is afterall Division 3. I know there’s not much to do there but still a massive statement of intent. Fresh start for them to regroup & rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he had left most of the games so far that season at half time!! I also have never seen so many supporters walk out of a game at 73 mins when only 2-1 down. Was quite surreal really..

Tin Soldier Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Football in the North East is massive. I worked up there off and on for 3 years and the passion and support is just massive. You don't get many prawn sandwich brigades up there. Respect to the Mackams. Nice people also. They are happy to talk football all night with anyone wants to have a chat. The documentary on Netflix is worth a watch also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so successful at this time but both of the main 2 clubs there should probably be doing better. Know a Sunderland fan who lives down here, couple of Newcastle fans too. Tend to agree with this post, albeit those few I mentioned a small sample size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember 25-27k crowds last season when they were losing most weeks in the Championship. Football fans will turn up and watch a competitive, winning team irrespective of level or opposition. All clubs are the same, including us. It always makes me laugh when you hear Rovers fans saying “would you get 8k in Non League?”...yeah, we’ll its easy to turn up and fill your ground when you’re winning every week but start doing shit in a higher division and all of a sudden those crowds get smaller. Sunderland are probably getting better crowds for some games this year than they were at times in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add further balance, you could hear a pin drop in the exec boxes down AG most games. At SOL there exec boxes are raucous, noisy and actually quite good fun. From experience .....

They had the following three seasons in the second tier and each one of them was under 6k as they were shite. Great support..........not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
