et tu brute Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 The previous time they were in the championship 5 years earlier and won the league with 102 points, their average attendance was 43,000 which isn't bad but that is still 12k empty seats. Mackematics st its finest The thick fuckers still can't (or won't) acknowledge that their actual crowds are a good few thousand less than their 'club official crowds'. It's not even debatable when you constantly see the mass gaps of seats during live games and match highlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I just love how they constantly make posts on "our fans", whereas we have a post on "our shithousery". Brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even debatable when you constantly see the mass gaps of seats during live games and match highlights. For the little it matters (It doesn't, but let's just add some context) that's our worst attendance average since we rebuilt the stadium, yet the last time they beat that was in 2001/02 despite 12 of the seasons since being in the PL, and them having 2 of their own promotion seasons from the Championship - Firstly 04/05 when they averaged 28,821 and secondly in 06/07 when they averaged 31,887 So I've no idea what point they're attempting to prove.

RS Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hilarious that they’re still making up lies about their Dutch connection. Dangermong desperately trying to have hooligan friends. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/dutch-fans-at-the-game-today.1595012/page-3 There’s a photo of Dangermong and his marras “taking” a railway bridge at central station on groomers somewhere.

They don't even travel up here" Read more fascinating Walter Mitty style tales here: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/trouble-again.1598018/page-6 This thread is still going strong and has to be one of the all time classics, even for RTG standards, I kid you not…. The amount of absolute shite being typed is comedy gold… Even that infamous, Chelsea hardman and hooligan makes a guest appearance ‘Jason Marriner in peyce’.. As the thread gathers momentum Skylon, Lumber and Rubberface have morphed into Bexy, The Yeti and Bovver whilst elsewhere internal battles are raging between the Vauxies and Casualties… All the cliches are readily available for your perusal… ‘they got slapped’, ‘too many polis’, ‘we stood our ground’. A personal favourite of mine was the 10 v 200 standoff. This was later reduced to 8 by someone ‘in the know’ so not sure where the other 2 went… it’s bullshit bingo at its finest.. This also provides a fascinating insight into these lunatics as you can also start to guess the age which is rather amusing… Notably there’s very few RTG contributors condemning such behaviour which disappoints me somewhat, considering they are after all the classiest fans in the country… aren’t they?

Paullow Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Quite looking forward to the Sunderland-Middlesbrough match on Sunday, I wouldn't mind Boro coming up this season to be honest, but I wonder if they were both in the same league (Championship) for the next 4 or 5 seasons, and we continue to push on and be an established top 6 club, whether in time, that will actually become 'the derby'. You'd assume no given the geographical closeness of Newcastle and Sunderland, plus the obvious poor feelings between the two sets of fans, and it is quite easy to dismiss Boro as 'not a derby' (whether right or wrong), but if it gets to stage of Newcastle never playing Sunderland for 11 or 12 years, and those two involved in some heated battles, then you never know - it's almost 7 years since we last played Sunderland (almost 13 since we played Boro).

Not sure if I would do so again now. It's true. I was at a talk in with Tony Cottee at the Assembley Rooms a few years ago and ended up sat right next to him as I was on the top table and he was telling us all about it. Said it was a petrifying experience and he remembers just standing there thinking "bloody hell its only a football match!" Was a really canny bloke actually. A friend of mine knew the bloke who threw the petrol bomb. They used to drink in the same club. Said he was a nice, quiet bloke but detested Cockneys!

It's like he's living vicariously through others. Didn't see the railway photo but did see another one and he looks like he'd struggle to turn the telly ower. Tbh being in your 40s and still thrapping yourself off over football violence from the safety of your pallion griefhole is canny sad anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although apparently we were really embarrassing for doing the flag thing and yet they’ve copied it. Probably the same lot that wouldn’t be happy with Saudi investment Agreed. But they could perhaps make it not look so cheap and shit. I know wor flags has gone from strength to strength and perhaps I just wasn't paying attention.
