I have an easy solution why not just host the olympics at the SOL a friendlier area, the view is much better and a lot closer. Pointless going to the SDA if you can,t tell who the hell is playing and then having to come out to a load of verbal abuse from the locals.
The biggest issue I'd have would be that you always get idiots in and there will be people intentionally causing damage to the stadium - although it would be funny if they had to play at our ground with all the SAFC merchandising around!! The away team may get confused if they go into the club shop and see "Sunderland AFC" merchandise instead of them!!
This sounds like a goer as far as the fans go. Sunderland fans can see the funny side for them, and we can certainly see the funny side for us. Sadly I think it may be overuled as the police, clubs and unfortantely those hell bent on destruction will prevent it.
Why not? why not grace sunderland with some decent football for once, and sell out that plastic stadium of theirs once in a lifetime? Hell just imagine "the only time european football was played at the SoL was when Newcastle came to town".
Plastic stadium? I know yours is simply dripping with tradition. Must be the long-standing name and all those old-style roof adverts
Let's be frank here, aesthetically, your stadium looks like it came out of an ikea diy catalogue, agreed? It's just so generic, there's nothing individual about it. But that's fine. I'm not hating. Anyway...back to the topic. I think this would be a great opportunity for both clubs. It would show that Newcastle and Sunderland are friendly cities, friendly club, mere rivals in sport. And Sunderland AFC would be helping Newcastle fulfill it's (certain) destiny to achieve further european greatness. At the same time, Sunderland would hereby finally publically submit to NUFC dominance, putting this tiresome debate about "who has the longer" to bed once and for all.
And the Skunks stadium looks like a 5 year old kids Meccano constuction gone badly wrong..it's a bloody mess...
Only to mackems. To us and the rest of country it is seen as iconic image as entering the city. Sure its been cheapened by the slightly less fat one, but its still a thing of beauty to the trained eye. Come pray at the footballing mecca, great men reside there!
