Alex 30241 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I can’t work what’s satire any more. European football. You’re halfway up the second division, mate If the owners did announce stadium expansion there is immediately think there was a rabbit off given the lack of investment in the first team 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26606 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 2nd Division fodder + having a loan to fix lifts + no parachute payments + hoping any loan players are competent = build biggest stadium in NE England and storm into Yewerup, marra. FTM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17620 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 They're banging on about hosting Euro 2028 too. Even if that shithole was awarded it, they would get two qualifier games max. This is going to justify stadium extension? For reference, I went to all the matches at SJP in Euro 96, including those with France starring a certain up and coming star, Zenidine Zidane. This was long before our expansion, and the stadium was half empty. Weird fuckers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34167 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) I'm sure the continentals will be absolutely mesmerised by the way people from Sunderland grout the bathroom tiles with their own turds. Real Sistine Chapel shit. Edited March 27, 2023 by Gemmill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was long before our expansion, and the stadium was half empty. Weird fuckers. They properly fucked up the ticketing for euro 96 btw. Loads of tickets were bundled up in packages of multiple games. So if you bought 2 or 3 group games you had much better chances of getting knock out matches. I can’t quite remember the procedure but my dad went to USA ‘94. When they were there they met a couple of lads from North Carolina who were football fans. They ended up visiting us for euro 96. They applied for two of these groups of tickets themselves each, thinking they would be over subscribed. So they ended up with two tickets each for the group games at SJP / Elland, the QF v Spain, the SF v Germany and the final. They gave their spare ones away (me and me dad went to Romania v Bulgaria at SJP plus the QF at Wembley with them). They even had a couple of spares for England v Scotland. That’s why it was half empty. Although the logic of SAFC expanding their ground with the euros as a consideration is mental. Also, I know they get decent crowds now but they can’t fill it and it’s been pointed out the punters are paying non-league level prices to get in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see a few dozen crisp packets flying around, don't forget those come from a fewer number of whip rounds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Do they really have a load of wonderkids? BTW thanks for replies on Kane - read all of them, good points made. Just going to chalk it up to the boring perception since the word "beige" is what I think of whenever I see his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going to chalk it up to the boring perception since the word "beige" is what I think of whenever I see his name. They’ve got a couple of teenagers iirc. Plus Rigg who they’ll lose in the summer anyway. You can’t count Diablo or Michut as they’re on loan. Stewart will be 27 before he kicks a ball for them again. I was quite impressed with Jack Clarke from the bits I’ve seen but he’s not exactly a superstar or a kid. Let’s be honest, they’d struggle to hold onto them if a Championship club came knocking, let alone a PL one. So maybe they aren’t that good. I think it’s just their latest delusion to soften the blow about us. I get you, re: Kane. Beige is about right. I think he’s a bit of a dirty cunt too and far from being a player I love. But I do think he’s an outstanding and highly effective centre forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 As I've said before the effort they had to put in to free ticket themselves up to 48k in the Reid days was phenomenal. For 60k they'd have to bus schoolkids in from the whole of England. I suppose that'll get the nonce community back on board though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13808 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Their attendance would drop to about 23,000 if they were paying premier league prices and getting soundly beaten every week. 60,000!? Champions league finals!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12447 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The desire to host tournament games is weird too, as a fan why do you give a flying fuck? It all comes back to that weird desire they have to be relevant as a town. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
