gdm Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 So, some of us older NUFC supporters will remember when them shithouses last dropped into the third tier. Much merriment was made by NUFC's support. So much so that NUFC's support was very much in attendance in that relegation play off game at Roker Park v Cascarino lead Gillingham. First and probably the only time I've seen three sets of supporters in one ground. NUFC given their own section in the clock stand (to the left of the Roker End as you face the pitch.) Others intermingled with the unwashed as the gates closed on the NUFC section well before kick off. Myself included. So, should we go back this season when the inevitable happens? I'll be sorely tempted. If you do go this season, try make sure we are safe first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 That's so f***ing sad. Today it would be, but back then the two clubs were closer in terms of how dire and shite we were and the rivalry was probably more intense and closer. NUFC support is far too sanitised to be up for it these days. Probably about 300/400 back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I’m still hoping Mitro sends them down, Fulham away is their penultimate game. Can only imagine the mad bastard’s celebration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Think they'll do a Wigan/Bolton and start yo-yo'ing between the Championship and League One for a while. It took a fair club Boro 6 or so seasons to come back, Leeds still haven't, Forest haven't for nearly 20 years, Sheff Utd over 10 years, Sheff Wed 18 years, Coventry similar...Villa still might take another year or so. They're gone for a while and their golden era post-war would have been 3 top-half finishes in 18 years and a derby streak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/the-clubs-identity.1418898/ Or are we a high-end upper class model of a club now, which has only the commercially rich at heart and everything else that happens in a bonus? look at the ops Av Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 This post on RTG just about sums Sunderland up as a place ‘I’m 37 my mum is 52 and my gran is 66, will any of us be around to see premiership football at the SoL?’ So your mother had you at 15 and her mother had her at 14. I can only assume he has a 24 year old who in turn has a 12 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The problem with them this time is who is going to be their saviour? They had Defoe, Gyan, even that piece of human garbage AJ helping them in the past. They had Grabban earlier this season but even he f***ed off. This time? Who? Who? Who?

It's like watching Stan Laurel. WTF?! Just seen it almost looks like match fixing or just giving up on the team. That was pathetic. He looked totally lost and all over the place for the first clip and all. Never knew where his man was and was in no man’s land for ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
