Superior Acuña Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I've been to their place 3 or 4 times over the course of 2 seasons when they were in the Prem. as a work thing . It is so obvious that the fanbase there is of a much more basic , working class background than ours , the difference is so palpable in and around the two stadiums . Even taking the fact that I'm on enemy territory at their place into consideration , it just has the feel of a cold , deprived wasteland . I can't blame their fans for deserting in vast numbers to be honest . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Not sure why people are so worried about their attendance anyway. They're in a mess and have been for a long time. Less hope in sight than ever. Can't really blame them for not turning up. Sunlun till I die marra! Or maybe just until they got relegated from the PL.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 TBF the fans I know don’t really care what division they’re in. In fact they would rather be fighting for promotion in League One than where they are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNGLEGIONNAIRE Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Can't see where I claimed that our fanbase is totally devoid of any working class members , nor that I decried any classes . I am probably as "working class" as you could possibly get . I merely attempted to point out that there is absolutely no inspiration for their working class fans to trudge along to watch such abysmal performances in such a run down , soulless area at which their stadium is situated . My observations were made from actually experiencing the situation . Obviously others have experienced the same and obviously I'm wrong . So sorry to have created so much vitriol .

There's not many more traditional working class places in the UK than Newcastle so that's a strange stick you've used to beat them with. There's so many other things you could have laughed at them up for as well. It's not like they don't give us much ammunition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Harsh? Come onto a Newcastle forum and start slagging working class folk? Just jamming your nob into a wasps nest would probably be a bit less painful. There's been far worse said about Sunderland on here before Is that the same working class folk who voted to overwhelmingly leave the EU, who get called racists and uneducated by posters on here and pretty much get derided all the time? The hypocrisy honks on here at times. :lol: Aye, that's cos they're dicks though. Nowt wrong with being working class. They are nowhere near the dick level of the folk that mock them on a regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also widely accept that Sunderland has some rather unusual inhabitants, much like Newcastle, obviously we are soaked in gravy while they ooze class but, I think point raised about the average fan from either side of the "fence" was quite badly made.

Running that through the translator I'm going with: Sunderland as a city and people have been and continue to be massively hit by deprivation and austerity, to an extent that Newcastle probably hasn't been, therefore it's understandable that they're not still packing the ground out week in week out.

Ameritoon Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I am a little surprised this hasn't gotten a bit more coverage bar the occasional article in The Guardian. They were in the Premier League for a decade and have imploded in spectacular fashion. Darron Gibson was driving drunk hours before a game and hit his club's own supporters' cars Just seems like it's ripe for the media to talk about, but I guess they really are that unimportant.
