Ketsbaia Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Aye, my mackem 'mates' say lopsided like its a bad thing - it's my favourite bit about the place! We were having a nice chat - being fairly unbiased - and then he said with a straight face that SoL is much better. I couldn't believe it. How is their flatpack, plastic, replica stadium in the same league as our beauty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 'lopsided' is their way of saying that we should be gutted we haven't got a boring, out of town flatpack stadium with fuck all charm or uniqueness about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 there are some on RTG who will lie through their teeth to do us down, even when their own are telling them they are talking shit. the ground bit on there today, the origin of the term 'mackem' over the last day or so and in the recent past the relative merits of our teams, racism at SJP etc. seems like it always the same sad people needing to lie aswell. what must their lives be like if they feel the need to do that ?

Anderson Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Despite being a newer stadium you'd never guess it, they've got some cheek saying ours is a clip. Their's was built on a bargain basement budget and it shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You have to cut them some slack. Every damn one of them wakes up every morning and thinks, "Shit. I'm still a mackem". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just had a quick look on rtg and the thread title 'without being too biased' caught my eye. 'I was sitting in the galogate end today at the sports direct and it really made me appritiate the quality and layout of the sol. Not only is the sda lop sided with 2 modern ends that are too bid and too far away from the pitch but the smaller stands are dark and tired. How they can call it the stadium of shite is beyond me' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Without wanting to point out the obvious, doesn't the SOL have two adjacent stands double the size of the other two.... surely by definition that too is lop-sided? And they're STILL clinging onto this particular straw.... so why did they get the olympic footy and not us ? Concerts. Pitch repair after concerts/season. Without wanting to point out the obvious again, the Olympic venues were decided several years before the concerts were announced. Sunderland wasn't considered because its an interminable sh*thole with absolutely f*ck all of any merit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Curls Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 our stadium has character, It has been built up over the years to try and accommodate our fanbase whilst still staying loyal to its origins, it is unique. Their stadium may be one of the better flatpacks around and have the luxuries that a modern stadium offers but there is no way they can call st james's park a clip, As mentioned why would it get featured in movies, adverts, games and the likes if its such a clip?.

Dokko Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Their changing room are first class with great plumbing and their statues outside the ground a work of art. The vortex they've created in the middle of the pitch to help with waste management of the stands is something to behold and their dedication to have red and White seats mixed in the plastic of one single seat is a special achievement, even if it is a bit pink. But the greatest thing for me is how much room there is, you never find yourself standing getting sore legs. Yep, there's only one stadium of light...oh wait, two, there's only two stadium of lights, but this is easily the classiest one and certainly the best ground in, erm, Sunderland.

mattypnufc Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's a fucking football ground. I only ever venture to the pissers after I've had a skinful. Normally by that point the quicker I piss and fuck off the better as I can hardly even see let along 'admire' the quality of the urinal. I'd be seriously concerned if anyone was any different. I'd be worried about them being a nonce or a porvort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Only the 6 pages about signing Curtis Good. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=718596 He's called Curtis you say? Steigers? Signed to sing 'Don't break my legs, my woosey little legs' whenever Cabaye is on the ball Referencing that classic hit 'Achey Breaky Heart' by Billy Ray, err, Steigers.
