    My God. You don't get it. I guarantee you're not from Sunderland.

    Anyway. I digress. (Some signs though) Ffs.

    The fans who have sacked off their 30 years of season tickets are not in the mind. It's reality.

    That's the problem, a lot of our fans don't have any patience, it's been a bit disappointing this season but it's only our 2nd season back in the championship.

    Yeah well the people I know are not. They haven't been back this season and won't renew.

    This is true actually - I've cancelled our 3 direct debits for season tickets and we've only gone to 2 games since that game. It's really sucked the enthusiasm out of us, it's sickened us actually on top of the woeful managerial appointment and now the 2 unsackable junior coaches.
    I say this and for context my first game at Roker park was 1976/7 season.

    There are lots from the north stand who are doing the same. Generations of fans who are rightly furious.

    Just some signs though.....

    An international incident, like this one?

    "A 71-year-old convenience store cleaner in the UK got a serious surprise when she became tangled in a shop shutter and was lifted several feet off the ground, video showed."

    The BCB scandal, it wasn't a scandal, it was a mistake that was corrected. The only people that mention it are some obsessed fans like you. Even mags don't mention it.

    Trouble is now he's just came out and said he doesn't want to go back and he wants to become a head coach. For me he's should stick to what he's good at and what has got him this far in his career as I don't think he'll ever make it as the one person in charge

    The contempt is staggering. How some total incompetents are still employed shows to me the disregard the ownership has for the supporters.

    You are confusing speakman for Dodds but your point is probably still valid. Ironically.

    Furious with what? A bad run of form and they pack in going to games. Honestly the way some are going on you would think we were being run like Reading

    It was a disgrace and showed how utterly out of touch and incompetent the club is off the pitch. Simple as that and the fact nothing has changed personnel wise since leaves a really sour taste.

    The mag show, it was a mistake about the BCB, but people need to get over it.
