I’ve been sat in the north stand since the stadium opened, and my dad in an equivalent seat since 1981 at Roker. Why exactly should I move because the club are incompetent?
No doubt there will be loads defending him with look at where we came from, look at past owners etc etc

It will. The south stand together with with south west corner can be quite loud. Voluntarily taking 3000 away from that is just bonkers. Where do those in the south stand go?

Been all sorts of stuff thrown over but today was the first time my 6 year old asked if he could be hurt and said the smoke can kill people.
Canny hard to explain otherwise really.
Lots didn't and I'd happily see our fans who throw things be banned too.

Netting would not stop them throwing things but would have stopped that smoke bomb today I was sat directly below it very lucky it didn’t hit anyone knackers will be knackers and always throw stuff but netting would definitely make it safer for the fans below️Move the away fans
Neither of those measures will stop supporters throwing objects.
Apart from searching every single supporter, I’m unsure what else the club can do.

Time to sack Davison or for him to resign
No excuses, move the away fans back

Why should I move from the south stand….
This is in repose to a long standing poster desperate for them to be moved back to the now infeasible south stand
Where the away fans are out are not my problem but I will fight for my right for it not to be at my inconvenience again after being shifted from the north due to the bcb.
And as for an equivalent seat Mr Blair, There was no seating in the Fulwell or a Roker end ……

jumped up little f***ing hitlers.
I was confronted today by one of these wankers for daring to stand in the access way for circa 20 seconds to watch a Sunderland corner. The kid next to me was asked to move by the stewards during the first half because the lad on the end was slightly into the aisle (by about half a centremetre). The kid showed his season card and said he couldn't reach his seat because of the overcrowding but was moved into the row behind anyway achieving the square root of fuck all.
Meanwhile the North Stand are ducking and dodging metal cannisters from above.
I hate the way our stadium is policed. It's always been like this though and will never change.

I’m sat in the North Stand and throwing stuff down is getting out of hand. Why the hell should I move seats. That’s a bloody ridiculous comment Regardless of what the club say netting would have stopped that smoke bomb today

Can't wait for another list of the things the home fans have done wrong when this gets raised with the club.

Back to wherever they were before we were kicked out of the NSU to allow the away fans in

I dont think it should he ignored either that the south stand was arguably the most heavily populated part of the ground in the previous season in the championship. When the vast bulk of the north stand fucked it off.
