Bit off topic but any suggestions where would be decent to watch the Derby game with visiting family in Newcastle ? Ideally Pilgrim street way 

I don't drink so a bit out the loop on what bars are decent

@Fak suggestion of Sauna 52 is a non starter sadly as my Auntie Doreen is a bit of a prude 

Fak gets a 10% discount for referrals.

Just had a look at the hilarious 'Derby Day Tifo' thread on RTG.

One of them has suggested displaying a banner that reads:

'SUNDERLAND AFC - DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY'

[et tu brute]

I see their thread on the new financial rules over on the groom, is mainly about how it will effect us. The sad cunts

They could, and it’s a wild suggestion to many of them, just have a tifo that relates solely to them, and doesn’t in some way reference us.

Was all that lass who took the fall's fault obviously, she just didn't keep the board updated or they would no doubt have acted very differently

Classy club. Shags who he wants they said iirc.

Not knowing many players they have, how impacted are they going to be by afcon? 
 

Second to that for anyone who knows, how many will be gone by Derby day?

If we need them to be missing players it’s a pretty damning state of affairs.

In all the time we played Arsenal when Xhaka was there I never once prayed he didn't play, yet apparently we're shit scared off him now.

Absolute bullshit as usual, why the fuck would we be shit scared when we have better players in the same position.

[Whitley mag]

I think we’ll beat them on the day, it’ll be scrappy and nervy but we’ll come through it.

 

Things have to turn for us shortly or I think we’ll see big changes including the manager.

Yeah, weird one. He played in that 2-0 end of the first season with PIF and we ruined their midfield.

If we do win, there will be posts galore on the groom and social media from the sad twats saying "well it was expected with the costs of the two squads".

We have around 6 or so who have had first team experience leaving. Although some will only miss 3 league games at most - they’re spread out between 5 countries, so it’ll be a staggered return throughout. Those 3 games will be very tough though.

 

The African players likely leave after that gameweek. Usually been the case for prem players previously leaving for it.

[et tu brute]

Cowards already parsnipped the match thread after an absolute meltdown about our second goal. Shame it was glorious to see there total seethe and fewm 

[Menace]

Christ man, we've just had a massive win and the first thing you think about is RTG?

[et tu brute]

Whatever you're putting Menace all I can see is that you have posted you daft twat - you're on ignore

It will affect them massively, although PSR probably already was. Their chairman was on about how they might dip in the transfer market in January if a top 10 position is possible.

PSR puts a limit on them. Their commercial revenue is absolutely fucking shit. I think our Adidas deal alone was worth more than all their commercial revenue in their last set of full accounts.

They will obviously have Premier League TV money now, and some commercial deals will have increased, but it won’t be anywhere near other clubs.

 

How long are those crowds going to last? We know that as soon as their team dips, their crowd fucks off. If they will struggle to sell £40 tickets, how will they sell corporate tickets for much more?

It was pointed out a little while back that their income for selling out with the ticket prices that they have and those that they had to give away as well the discounted tickets was the equivalent of Norwich selling out their stadium at the going rate for tickets.

The Norwich owners are now on collision course with their fans over expanding their stadium and creating corporate and fanzone facilities because their ticket revenue is now no longer sufficient to mount a challenge for promotion.

 

With work, we do quite a bit of work in Sunderland, an the amount of shirts that they have sold since they got promoted is telling, but again this is on the back of the promotion an having a shirt that is a popular historic strip that they had. Well everyone is doing that, I think Leeds’ last season was one of the best selling Adidas kits. Every club is doing that, and most clubs at the higher end of the are charging more for their kits and selling more of them.

I don’t even think their kit deal is directly with Hummel either, I’m sure it’s still with that company based in Spennymoor.

 

As it’s been said by plenty of fans from plenty of teams though. These rules are there not just to protect the top 6, but also to protect the likes of Crystal Palace, Brighton, Brentford etc from being challenged by the likes of Sunderland.

They might have some decent players now, but even if they sold them all in the summer, Brighton etc have already done that 5 times over and made more money than them.
