Away Day Gadgie Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Their defence is awful, was it that Galloway who let the guy on the wing in loss of space for their goal and then run past him? Aye! Pathetic defending. Think we were linked with him last summer aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 What's the story with the pitch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 What's the story with the pitch? The pitch was previously 105m x 68m, with a square area of 7,140m2. The pitch at this size was the eighth largest in the country, the same size as the much – and erroneously – vaunted “huge” pitch at Wembley Stadium. According to FA Regulations, pitch sizes in England must be within 120m and 90m in length and have a width between 45m and 90m. The shortening of the pitch has already taken place; however, rumours are swirling to what the final dimensions of the newly resized surface will be. The accepted norm seems to be a 6m shortening in length, and a 2m reduction in width of the pitch to 99m x 66m, however no other team in the English Football League or Premier League has a pitch below 100m in length. Thus, the final dimensions may well be 100m x 66m, with a resulting square area of 6,600m2, resulting in the Stadium of Light pitch going from one of the largest pitches within English professional football to the tenth smallest – with only Wolves’ Molineux and Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium pitches smaller than the Stadium of Light’s imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Doing better than we did at this stage tbf I think we lost to a better team though. Derby had only a couple of decent players and Ince was one of them and he's gone. Sunderland looked right at home in that division, I don't think they'll be leaving it any time soon.

Gosforth Lad Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tonight is probably a truer reflection of the Sunderland support, as allegedly Bain has put a stop to the doling out of free tickets en made. A shade shy of 30,000 is pretty good in all honesty, but the fact is it's always going to appear like a few peas rolling round an empty plate when there are 20,000 spare pews. As a town planner, I recall the original planning application for the Stadium of Light was 34,000. Had they built it that size, they could have packed it the last 10 years without having to prop up the numbers with great waves of freebies dished out to all and sundry. The irony is, had they done so they would have been praised for their crowds (full Stadium despite being utter shit year in year out), rather than criticised for significant empties, despite the fact they'd have been getting less punters in. Bob Murray was far too concerned with keeping up with the Jones' than long term planning however, and, as usual, his gaze was in the direction of NE1 4ST. Incidentally, the game was crap I thought.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't think they'll be in danger but I don't think they'll be anywhere near Boro or Villa. Somewhere between 5th and 10th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
