Still 1,000 behind us then and we're in the league below.  Shit fans.

This year is huge for them. Given that Moyes comes in with three weeks left until the season starts, no new signings and their pre-season so far having been covered in doubt regarding their managers future, it's hardly the best preparation. Doubt Moyes will be able to do too much with them this year, but if he keeps them up, there'll be an opportunity to kick on from there.

This is the first year in a long while that that I don't think they'll be in the relegation shake up. Lower mid table with little looking over their shoulders and they'll be chuffed with it.

No chance they have sold that many - if they had the club would have been putting out statements left right and centre - reason that they havn't put anything out is that they are well behind their local rivals and don't want to be shown up by a 'Championship Club'. 32,000 my arse unless they have suddenly decided to give free season tickets out to save time dishing out the weekly free tickets.

The information comes from a guy who estimates 45k-47k crowds, which is well above their average.

 

Exactly not going to happen over a season in fact their average will be less than this year as they have already lost the only game they get really near to selling out for - US!

He has put up three examples of when he was right or close to it. All of the games were towards the end of the season. One of the games was the one where they stayed up and sent us down, the other was the game before that against Chelsea, and the one before that was in April when they played Liecester. He's hardly gone out on a whim there to predict large crowds.

I agree easy to predict for those games as in a relegation battle the crowds always increase - as I said let's see their crowds next year but it certinly won't be anywhere near an average of 46 - 47000 over a season that's for sure. Sunderland get decent crowds nobody is disputing that but don't talk shit just because our local rivals have posted increased sales.

Being a mackem means that you will probably have a chip on your shoulder about everything relating to Newcastle and NUFC. Maybe it's understandable.

Amongst the many things which collectively make up their inferiority complex, the two clubs' relative attendances seems to hit the rawest nerve of all. Us having bigger crowds even when in a lower division drives this complex towards insanity levels.

As always they will sell circa 30K tickets each game this season and give away another 10K through various fobbing off schemes. They will be towards the bottom of PL matchday revenues and probably have the most unsold seats again. But

be assured, all numbers will be twisted and ultimately there will be mutual back slapping as they convince themselves they're the best fans in the land.

Rafa Benitez, Newcastle manager.

 

Sam Allardyce, England manager.

 

David Moyes, Sunderland manager.

 

 

What is 'Things I wouldn't have bet on two years ago' for $300, Alex.

On the plus side, Moyes has a reputation to protect and expectations will be high. If Sunderland do end up scrabbling round the relegation places, the media will soon start piling on the pressure. He might not enjoy that too much.

9th most hated club in the Premier League, according to a poll of fans across the country...

 

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/532938/Premier-League-most-hated-clubs-sportgalleries

 

Gerrin, mid table at last.

 

And like f*ck are Chelsea more hated than Man U  :idiot2:

 

Of course they are :lol: they have no youth policy, hoover up any player they want and leave them to rot, they have only ever won by spending vast amounts of money. There's no real culture, their fans are racists... despicable club.
