It’s clearly that SAFC obsessed ‘The Sheikh’ over on Twitter who hasn’t been intelligent enough to hide the fact that he’s logged into here with a Sunderland badge as his avatar on his Twitter screenshots. And even less intelligent are the mag whoppers who lap it up. :lol: What a life.

Jesus Christ, what a sad way to spend your life.
 
The SOL is desperate for a spruce up ! But let's be honest here (with the Mag) the reason Sid James got it is because of the City and its infrastructure around hotels and bars and restaurants etc. Their ground is falling to bits.
I love the look of our stadium and would take ot over theirs (well yours OP) all day long, but can totally understand why SJ has been chosen. To be honest I'll still sleep very well at night, no f**ks are given, it's not a penis waving competition. . .

We paid for its 'flight' didn't we 🤔 👀
 
This is how much I don't care about NUFC. I have no idea what condition their ground is in, or what the corporate facilities are like - which would have been key to the discussion.
What I do know is that its over 50k , which SOL isn't - and all the English stadiums on the final list are >50k. And for travelling supporters, there's a much better rail infrastructure there and a bazillion more hotel beds.

I'm not from Sunderland, so I have no bias in the "our city is better". Newcastle is a better city. If you have to pick one, its the right choice - assuming St James' isn't a total shit tip inside with no corporate facilities for the event sponsors etc.

First one outside Wembley for years was at the SoL against Belgium. Then we got the big qualifier against Turkey.

Can’t remember any of significance at St James. Have they had more than two?

Oh and we were the venue for the pre tournament match against Australia in 2016.

Fairly obvious choice really - you need a proper infrastructure around the ground for this which we simply don’t have. There’ll be tens of thousands of fans travelling over from all over the place and we wouldn’t be able to house them, feed them or water them, nor transport them here or back home.
