Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

Can we double that up with his sacking after us going alongside defeat putting them 2nd bottom ?

 

I will be among a small minority in that, beyond idle curiosity, I'm not bothered now what happens to them, or him.

I'm not even that bothered about the derby now. It really is just another game for me now.

The fundamental fact is that the team there now represents a country, rather than another part of the same region, which is what once made it a derby. Any country would be bad enough mind, any random, benign country. It would still be the thing that killed the derby.

But it isn't just any country. It is an odious islamic dictatorship, with an avowed loathing of the West and one of the most appalling records of murder and repression in the world .

They just don't count now.

 

I’m sure many agree with you that at club level it is not the derby , or local interest it used to be. But can’t resist keeping the bit where if we do win we can , whilst putting football to the side , just enjoy and laugh at their reaction

 

Thank you.

one of my best mates is from a b&w family but he had opportunity to go to roker park in the 1980s and from that 1 visit became r&w and has subsequently put thousands into the club. We have to get the kids in.

Thanks to Sir Bob we have the land (I’m sure the council and club will sort a compromise on the area around the south stand as we all want the same thing) and the relative ease of extending the SOL and most importantly now the potential fanbase given the investment.

Every club in the premier league, who would like to extend their stadium, would absolutely love to be in Sunderland’s position right now, particularly the Saudi owned club up the road.

The club do a fantastic job with kids ticket pricing and I’m definitely not having a go at the club, but if we do extend a focus has to be getting more kids in as well as, of course, the corporate stuff.

I think in Bruce we have a very clever fan (one of us) in our management team and I’m sure he and the owners will be looking at this. In terms of this thread, if we go for increasing capacity quickly whilst the Saudis are going to be bogged down with any plans they might have we will have a tremendous opportunity to bolster and secure our future fan base for years to come.

 

Good post, similar feelings to me tbh, I agree that the derby has been ruined by Newcastle.

This derby is less about how pleased I'd be if we won and more about how much it would hurt them.

 

Feel exactly the same not spoke about them with mates since the take over we used to be in a group.

 

You did and it's right

 

If I had the funds, I would buy it.

Then I'd liquidate it

 

I was hoping you'd show up, you know a lot more than me with all this.

 

Newcastle's form is a pain in the arse for the poor lad

 

loved watching his content during the 6 in a row

 

I always thought it might have been a much bigger East stand extension, making it bigger than the West /Jimmy Montgomery stand, but I could be wrong. Either way it's great that it was designed to be extended, whereas other stadiums have been extended by clagging stuff on expensively or as a hodge podge (like the Skunks).
