View attachment 361 BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS I SAY !! LOADS OF PUSHING AND SHOVING AND THE VERY FASHIONABLE HALF CELTIC/HALF SUNDERLAND HATS.
I like standing but at the same time love the buzz of approaching a huge modern stadium. So I'd go for standing in an all-seated ground if that's an option?
Inbred, a few hours ago I saw a clip of Roman Pavlyuchenko scoring for Spurs in a Cup game at SJP. There were so few people there that they would have struggled to fill one stand, lying down or otherwise. Now, do one.
Standing without question! What I miss most is the surge forward when we scored, beats the hell out of jumping on the spot or turning round in circles. I love the SOL though, For all its history and good memories we would not be where we are now if we were still at Roker. Should introduce standing but is never going to happen
Standing, Blokes pissing up the back of your legs Pickpockets, (anyone remember those two young lasses used to spend the whole match with their hands in other peoples pockets in the 70s in the Fulwell?) Goal or near miss you ended up crushed. As soon as a chant started it spread like wildfire. Huge hairy gits jumping on each other hugging and kissing when Sunderland scored. The whole Fulwell end breathing and singing as one! A huge pall of smoke suddenly appearing as the half time whistle blew as everyone lit up. Sitting, Lack of atmosphere, people scared to move to cheer on the team in case some git shouts sit down! Trying to carry on a chant and have some git in a suit and a red and white bobble hat look down his nose at you. Hmmm? Think I go for standing
what about walking back to the town thru barclay court. Going into the old Bus station to sing cos it was deafening !!!!!!!!!
Give me fullwell end anyday , squashed like sardines but great atmosphere. OH THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha yeah! Getting picked up by the police for nowt, thrown in the back of a meat wagon given a couple of slaps by a 8 foot tall police sergeant then kicked out before the bridge when it kicked off somewhere else.
Got post MackemsRule. All the best memories have been standing room only. Well trying to stand whilst getting swept of your feet in the midst of the fullwell end as a nipper. Been to several games in Germany with standing room only for the die-hards behind the goal - both home and away. It is the way forward for the modern game. Never thought I'd say that about the Germans ....
