Have ou EVER seen a more lop-sided construction than the SportsDirect@StJame'sPark.com? No me neither. Can you imagine any architect building something like that from scratch?
This is one of the most random posts ive ever read. Either your a schizophrenic or ur personality consists of half Christopher Wren and half Eminem. Either way this boils down to a very much "my dads harder then your dad argument". Im a Sunderland fan, I like our ground and dont hold any particular like/affection for yours, it does not surprise me any of the many times a Newcastle fan has reciprocated this sentiment in their favour.
The concourse or north stand, with a dividing fence/screen probably, as long as they away from the cameras, because every time the mags are on sky they zoom around their ground and it iritates me that they show you close ups of someone blowing their nose out or picking it or spitting, and you might miss a goal.
Good. All this bollox about atmosphere is missing the point. The atmosphere will be fine when we stop being ****e and in the meantime we get some top seats back.
Or maybe I'm just taking the piss at your expense. Man, you guys are so very touchy these days. Lighten up a little. Your ground is alright from the inside, like I said, it serves it's purpose. Who cares if it's ugly from the ouside or the air. I just never have seen it from the air before and it didn't please my eye. It's like one of those Tescos they put up in the middle of nowhere, a functional structure, very much on a budget, built by someone in a hurry. As far as atmosphere goes, when a team is playing well and getting results the atmosphere will generally come by itself. Seeing your summeries on motd i hadn't realised i kept looking at the away section, i just thought you were slowly turning into 'boro. Anyway, shame there's no decent benter to be had around here anymore. It's all just 'hold on...back off... why you talking to me...I'm sunderland you're newcastle'
Horses for courses mate, you must be aware that things around here are a bit tetchy to say the least and so any perceived negative slant/taking the piss comment on our club isnt met with the most light hearted of sentiments. That being said id say comparing ur use of language to Christopher Wren/Eminem was an attempt at banter, which may have just passed you by, or maybe i was just taking the piss at ur expense lol Anyway mate dont get all up tight about my post, wasnt meant in a confrontational/defensive manner at all and like most on here i welcome the banter, the nature/tone of a post is sometimes hard to portrait over a forum.

Yogi, nah, i took it in good spirit. I take what i dish out. Not sure about eminem though, I was more trying to sound like a trashy southern african american woman. S'all good. As for the pics... that's a very unflattering shot of SJP. They both kinda ugly landmarks eh? I maintain though the outside facade of sjp looks better than that of the SoL does when you stand in front of it. The photo on the official SAFC website was from much higher up and it gave me that soapy taste in my mouth. Wheres the tetchyness originating from? Just a lot of wumming from our lot?
Even tho u didnt mean it u may have stumbled upon a significant string to ur bow, theres certainly a gap in the market for northern rapper with that kindov ability to turn a phrase in the music industry today. Just some food for thought. Bit of both mate, not a great time to be a Sunderland supporter with a lot of difference of opinion within our own camp, uz goin along nicely and as u mentioned the expected wumming from some of ur lot. Swings and roundabouts tho, hopefully we can pick up a bit n dish it out in better spirits then at the moment!
Yep, we'll crumble in winter when the weather gets cold. But like City did under Sven, when they got beat 8-1 on the final day of the season. These french guys won't be able to keep it up. We've been taking it on the chin for the past say 4 years. I'm considering quiting my day job. Those baggy track pants look mighty comfy.
I don't think there is really any comparison between the SoL and Sid James' when it comes to aesthetic beauty from the air, with the SoL looking a hundred fold better than the hotch potch construction that is the Mags ground.
