We all have a laugh about Sunderland but they have the best support outside the Prem by some way.

I'd dispute that, they have the biggest crowds but I wouldn't be describing that bunch as the 'best support'- I'd certainly use words like "toxic", "entitled", "living in the past" though

If we can maintain a push for play offs stay around top 8/10 then maybe we can keep the average at 18500, cant really see us averaging close to 21k which was the record average first season at Ricoh.

Unless we maintain automatic push.

We now have a "matchday experience" (hate that description but its apt) thats better than at any time since we moved to the then-Ricoh, that will make a difference. Plus you can't compare 2005 with now, we have some serious momentum at the moment. Hover around 8-10 and I could see us getting to 20k average, a couple of near sellouts would push it up by a thousand on their own.

Think that's harsh (apart from the few banging on about '77). They have fantastic support, and I think it's a bit shallow tarring 30k plus supporters with such a general brush. Just like not all of our supporters are 'sh*te hoying' cokeheads (albeit there are one or two of the latter). Nothing better than having friendly banter and a chat with opposing fans and nice to hear well wishes and praise about your team from the opposition. Insults only lead to more unnecessary crap, and it's usually some poor innocent who cops for it in the end.

Can't knock their numbers, but vocally they are dreadful. Both home and away.

Yeah I agree but by numbers they are the best supported club outside the Prem at home.

Easy to forget Sunderland is a relatively small and economically deprived city.

Had to walk to Highfield Road from Binley Village for that game as there were no buses running, possibly due to the energy crisis.
Won the replay 1-0.

It was as said the first FA cup-tie played on a Sunday there had to be a free turnstile something to do with the Lords Day Observance act so the 40 odd thousand could have been a bit higher.
Went to that replay Derby were reigning champions we won 1-0 after extra time we played excellently and could have been 3 or 4.

They’re football mad and generally just good natured people in that part of the world. Don’t really get the beef personally

Rinse and repeat.

It's really not that difficult.
