Guest Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Aye. Sure I read one post saying the SoL was better because it's not quite as lopsided as SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I mean even if you're trying not to be biased, like both sets of fans are. I am really struggling to see how they are the more attractive option? So it seems to be the training ground is owned by them and is decent. Is that basically the long and short of it, then? To say their ground is better and their fanbase is equal or better, is just laughable and clearly not true. Newcastle and SJP are known around the world, with SJP being packed out most weeks. Sunderland and the SoL are neither of those things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 St James might be lopsided but it's by far the superior stadium. You regularly hear pundits, opposition managers and players commenting on it. It also has character and history. The only thing that gives their dump any character is the pink seats and the pasty wrappers swirling round the pitch, if it wasn't for them you could easily mistake it for Southampton or Stoke's stadium.

David Icke - Son of God Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 You can also park outside their ground on match days. I actually heard one say that as a reason why they’re better than us. I can't believe they've won the parking. This hurts more than the six in a row.

bhoywhonder Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It's alreet though, if you rank our two clubs currently they are a better proposition than we are for a takeover https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/pros-for-buying-safc-vs-nufc.1397341/ Depends what you want I guess....Sunderland is primed and ready for a revolution and for somebody to make themselves an absolute legend as an owner.....Newcastle is on a hiding to nothing unless you have the really big money to throw at it like the Arabs as massive spending in the Prem will buy you mid table these days. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100227224111/villains/images/9/97/Blackknight.png "Just you wait and see mate...I'm primed and ready for a REVOLUTION!"
