the build up to this game is fucking peculiar to say the least.
Furthermore, I see they average 1700 away from home last season.
In all competitions, that's less than we averaged.
I love this GIF
Yes but in their defence we're in the middle of the country, our longest possible trip is significantly less than theirs, offset against being at a higher level etc.
They were going to Leeds, Forest and Vila.
We were going to Forest Green, Morecambe and Crawley.
I’m surprised at that - u got the link? Our sway support is decent enough but they would normally have better numbers.
I have a Sunderland supporting friend who came to White Hart Lane with me in 1997 when we relegated them and Middlesboro and he has no animosity towards us at all. In 1995-1998 I worked in Southend with a Sunderland season ticket holder and I went to watch Sunderland play at Southend with him & his mates and they all knew I supported CCFC and nobody mentioned Jimmy Hill, 1977 or 1997. I had a great time with then and they all seemed to have too much hate for Newcastle to worry about anybody else.I think that's a bit unfair mate, I've worked with a good few Sunderland fans over the years, and ended up drinking in a couple of pubs up there the last time we played.
They're like us, the vast majority are entirely decent and can certainly take a joke or two at their own team's expense. The dickheads trying cause a bit of bother would embarrass them as much as our minority of brainless eejits shame us...
I mean they’d been looking forward to us as their cup final - brought 5k was shouting from the rooftops about it"Bless them getting all excited about a trip up to a big club for their cup final"
I thought we were going to Sunderland on Saturday, hardly a massive Club. This goes back to the point I made before - deluded the lot of them.
Yes. The Bristol fans travelled in a mass of large numbers at roughly the same time and clogged the motorway network around Birmingham at rush hour. Hence thousands arriving late so The WMP decided to delay kick off for obvious safety reasons. I've tried telling that to various Sunderland fans and they simply won't have it. Yes, JH running up the steps to put their score on the scoreboard was true. Their chairman would have done exactly the same in similar circumstances.They all seem to think Jimmy Hill somehow delayed the kick off for the Bristol City game when in fact it was the police, as if a club chairman has that kind of influence :emoji_laughing:
Didn't they say the same about the game here, that loads of Newcastle fans were travelling down.This teaming up with Newcastle stuff is weird.
Me too! Disappointed that the fixtures clashed as I wanted to be a part in making the numbers in reply to their large following they brought to us earlier in the season but I've already missed three Cov games with my season ticket this term so something had to give.Stuff all that hassle, I wouldn't want to give them the cash ! I'm off to watch Cov rugby instead, should be a good crowd there for their last home game and we could do with the 5 points too !
I'm looking forward to the trip but can't find my half and half Cov/Bristol City scarf!
Has everyone packed their Stone Island and CP Company yet?? I take it everyone is staying in Newcastle and visiting the Wheatsheaf tomorrow?
No, going double denim (Karl Kani)
Ha should go for the Sunderland look and get your Lonsdale on.
Hope everyone has a good weekend and we get the three points.
