Fan zone in town

[The Beautiful Game]

Linthorpe road has very decent food outlets admittedly amongst a lot of fast food places.

The street behind O'Connells is the one I'm on about.

Baker Street? It has 2 or 3 bars yeah. I wouldn’t say any of the restaurants on linthorpe Road are any good personally. All microwaved crap. Nothing as good as the likes of spent grain or Mexico 70 etc. no variety either. All Italian’s, Indians or takeaways like you say. Like I say, I moved here and I’d love to love it but it’s absolutely crap. Thankfully there are a few places 10-15 mins away that are ok

One potentially annoying aspect about this is as the operating company is from outside the city the money they're taking / making won't be staying in the city.

Appreciate your view point. I'm a fairly regular visitor and like both there and Stockton.

Just think it's got a bit more about it than Sunderland centre.

The shopping has gone downhill with TK Maxx and TJ Hughes moving out of the square.

The posts are doing the rounds on Facebook, they've now won the Fanzone cup comparing a photo taken during Slovenia v Denmark against one took there during the England game.

That fanzone is an absolute piss-take like.

Cos it’s all really good. Anybody who tries to moan about the progress that’s been made in the past 5-10 years is off their heads. Cant wait to see how it’s all shaping up in the next 5 years.

The development and city overall has come on leaps and bounds. Absolutely love a day session or night out in Sunlun.

Correct. People on here are in massive denial of how bad Sunderland has gotten. The city is still stalling on reinventing itself for the 21st century. Was gutted Aphrodite has gone though as it was a diamond in the rough and the only thing I’d ever been to Sunderland on a non matchday

You’re absolutely full of shit as usual. Roker, Seaburn is absolutely brilliant in the summer. Love spending my Sunday afternoons down there in the summer with the bairns.

It’s an absolutely top night out in town as well.

The place is a shithole but people on here are massively biased. It’s certainly no worse than Sunderland and has much more going on. This board loves to say everywhere else is a shithole but then defends somewhere which is consistently ranked as one of the worst in the UK. IIRC isn’t it the only city losing population?

You don't go down to the seafront much then?

So what's the craic about Thursday, Will it be a waste of time?

The new City Hall has won architectural awards & the eye infirmary has started being built yet.

Architects always think their buildings look good. It's very disappointing.

There's pictures of the eye infirmary design online.
They don't normally build it different to plans.

Can you post examples of buildings you think would be suitable? Taking into account the budgetary constraints of course.

The architect didn’t give their own building an award.

Out of interest, what do you think looks good?

Yes, the judges are architects. They don't just select random people to decide. "I like that one"

So qualified architects choose the best buildings? Madness.

It’s like a chef judging a cooking competition

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Not great but you have to factor in the weather and it being a Sunday night. People can't really get pissed and be at work on Monday morning. Was in the town on Sunday night but only a couple of bars.

I was assuming he was just on about the town centre which is a closer race to be fair. If he’s including the likes of seaburn then there’s no competition.

Nowt to do with Sunderland looking down on Boro. My lass is from Boro and she’d say same as me.

 

[Mackem00]

The new Eye Infirmary is gonna be absolutely class like. I've suggested a zip line from the roof top straight into the Kings Arms beer garden but haven't had it confirmed yet.

The photo wasn’t even from Sunday night during our match, it was taken earlier in the day during the Denmark match. This is one of the many downsides to social media, it’s easy for false propaganda to spread and it’s rarely checked but people with agendas will just take it as face value.

This obviously isnt aimed at you btw, I mean in general. And the likes of skunks seem to be bad for it where there is any reason to be anti Sunderland.

Is there any photos knocking about of the fan zone during the England match ?
