Guest godzilla Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I actually think an ambitious and (moderately) successful Sunderland could be the only thing that wakes the 40000 zombies up. Nothing else has, maybe a bit of Mackey envy would work? Maybe, our crowds are dwindling and I’m convinced only bounced back because of Rafa, there’s a hardcore 35,000 that will always go now in the PL, drop down and we will see crowds of that in the championship. If we fell into division 3 like the strange c***s down the road I actually think we’d get no where near their attendances . Disagree always have had bigger crowds by a huge margin as well. When we were in the pits of division 2 early 80’s the crowds were s**** mind, I stood amongst them. Crowds in general were down across the board, but we still got bigger crowds than Sunderland though during that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 So according to the heathens the new era begins on Friday, we’ll f*** them , they are a 3rd division club now and for the foreseeable future. They are all banking on surpassing out 90’s era and becoming the new Man City. Bring the c***s on. They'll be in a higher league than us in 2 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll bother me as it'll be seen as some kind of unexpected upset from them down the road and the media, when in reality it's no more than NUFC deserve and also the blatantly obvious outcome considering nothing is being done within the club, or by those in the ground to prevent it.

Long time ago and I was in my teens but I can remember they were in the old 1st division (top division in those days). After our failed promotion bid of 1979/80 - i think Sunderland went up that season - I'm sure our gates really dipped pre keegans arrival in August 1982.

They got bigger gates the year they went up, the year after and only just the year after. From then 82/83 (still early 80s) we had bigger crowds even though we were a division below for a couple of year also, which continued for the rest of the 80s. The amount of times we have had bigger averages is not even worth comparing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest covmag Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Ah well if it's TRUE about the crowds then fair enough, but that was in the past. Now I think we would struggle to get 31k in the 3rd division with this set up? No? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
