Scoot Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Their Boxing thread sums them up. Saying the sooner Lewis Ritson gets knocked out the better because they hate the Mags. Three pages later saying that the crowd are pathetic for not being behind Josh Kelly because he's a Mackem. Weird breed of people. They are just a weird, strange bunch like. Creepy as fuck.

Wallsendmag Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The Sunderland boxer got good support from the crowd, they were on his side as a North East fighter. Obviously Ritson got an unbelievable reception as a Geordie fighter, wearing black and white shorts and fighting in Newcastle. I can guarantee that if it had taken place in Sunderland he would have been booed and that's the difference. Same region but world's apart in just about every way which is why the Newcastle area will continue to flourish and Sunderland will continue to go down the pan.

Benwell Lad Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The Don resorting to telling porkies on Twatter because Peterborough outbid them. A bit embarrassing for the massivest club ever to grace the third division don't you think 😂. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 A less-than-flattering commentary in Private Eye about Methven, who obviously has won no friends in press circles.

geordiesteve710 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Wasn’t our stadium only 33k at the time and I’m sure a section of it was closed for work being done at the time. Magexcuses etc. The FA/ organising committee properly ballsed up the ticketing for euro 96 mind. Unrealistic prices and iirc swathes of tickets were allocated to travel agents to force foreign fans to buy as part of a (even more unrealistically priced) package if they wanted to guarantee a match ticket. I was at Romania-Bulgaria and there seemed less than 15k there. Crowd included sunderland and boro fans wearing colours but very few fans of either of the teams playing. I think the France games were better attended and had a better atmosphere as at least some came over. You'd get a lot more attending if the same fixture took place at SJP this summer with more enlightened ticketing policies, budget airlines, romania/bulgaria having freedom of movement and being economically stronger than they were then etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the Rugby and the recent music gig. Roker was sold out for their Euro 96 matches no doubt! Oh wait... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I was at the Romania Bulgaria, there was 6 of us and it was the only game we could get seats together. Missed the first 20 minutes as we got hammered beforehand and I’m sure that someone had a shot that smashed off the bar and looked well over the line. We had a great time.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Are they going to ditch the pink seats then that have probably been written about in the media more than anything else related to their club the last decade? I’d put them in their main museum if I were them, history and all that! Do they have a museum by the way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Don't they ever get tired of ridiculous proclamations like that? To be fair, they can spout whatever they like as it never comes back to haunt them anyway. I enjoyed Burton Albion massively for example and the Championship I do worry that we are falling even further behind them mind, they have added biggest club in League One to their honours list along with their 6 in a row. I can’t see either on our list! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Didn’t realise England were playing tonight in Moscow. Quick, throw chairs at them. Lost count of the number of club tops I’ve seen at games here and abroad in Europe and further. Mustn’t have got the Brexit rulebook where fans can’t not attack someone in an offensive shirt.
