In their first fixture since the 1-4 home derby defeat, Newcastle repaid the faith of those fans who returned to the scene of the crime, although the crowd was almost 20,000 less than the mackem game.

Difficult times. What with them foreign satellites and stuff.
 
What was the attendance for the infamous 9-1 victory over 100 years ago?

It must have been huge as some mackems still talk about it.

Still. Nice to know that nostalgia is still very important to the long suffering Sunderland support.
 
Wasn't that long ago mate. Neil Shipperley, Trophy laden Obafemi Martins and David Connolly all played and got on the scoresheet.

I always suspected that Oba's claimed age was perhaps inaccurate and now I have proof. If Oba was at least 18 in 1979 then he's actually a very sprightly 50.

Looking good though.
 
<laugh> Mackems still living in the past. Constantly bring up a 100 year old result and quote attendences from over 30 years ago. Priceless
