Think she's been on the phone in on Talksport after one of our games before. Travels over from Blackpool way. She never mentioned anything then. Can't say I've heard anything in the ground personally.
I was listening to it. They had a discussion about gay footballers, after the ref that just came out. She rang in to say her and her daughter are Sunderland supporters. She hears the homophobic chants ‘every match’. Her daughter is gay and not bothered, but the caller said she takes it up with those chanting regularly. Thing is, I can’t recall ever hearing a homophobic chant from our fans. I’ve only been going 40 years mind….
Don’t care how much of a fan she is supposed to be, she is clearly a liar coming out with crack like that
If she hears ''chants'' (suggesting its groups of fans ) ( and which sounds doubtful) every time and she sits in same place- then maybe she should report to club instead of giving the whole fanbase a bad name
Last homophobic chant I heard was the one which starts “The Gallowgate, is always full” back in the early 90s at Rker! Season card/ticket at rocker from 86 and at the SoL from opening until last season, never heard one! (gave up season card due to singing taking off massively!)
Even during big games I can’t recall chanting on the SOL concourses … … away games are different but it’s the young lads flinging beer and trying out the new songs. Persistent ‘hate chants’ would’ve been picked up on by now, supporters and stewards are pretty keen to act on even minor things these days. I’ve seen someone removed from family area for calling the referee a tosser … … to make matters worse he was a tosser
I’ve not see anyone accuse any club of persistent homophobic chants tbh. It would be truly bizarre if Sunderland was the only place … … like a newly discovered uncivilised tribe in a remote part of the Rain Forest
