SOL the worst ground in the country


Agreed it’s fair enough not liking the SoL but it’s a bizarre claim objectively I would even say the mags from a biased point of view are nowhere near as bad for neutrals as some others. I’ve not done the ‘92 but of the ones I’ve done Stoke takes some beating way out of town, horrible (overall) locals and literally no atmosphere anywhere around the ground
Objectively it's in a great location, only really battered by Newcastle. It's a bit dated, but nowhere near as dated as many and yeah it's cramped in certain concourses.
 
Given it was before the match and he hardly looks old enough to have covered Man U the last time they were here, my moneys on him being a mag..

Edit: An interview on his instagram shows he has a bit of a north eastern accent, or maybe Cumbrian but not manc

To be fair, as someone who does more away grounds than home, not being allowed power banks or coins would annoy me.

But the SoL isnt the worst in the NE, never mind the country
I honestly can't remember the last time I used a coin. It must have been years ago though.
 
We always lost to man utd

Then we did the poznan to cheer us up after a dreary 0-1 end of season defeat.

Wound up man utd

We’ve had a canny record since 😂

It's terrible to leave from if you drive, which most of our fans do as they're from outside Sunderland proper.

I jog home to Grangetown if I'm not drinking, I jogged home from the man utd game, got home in about 25-30 minutes, had a shower etc. then 1 hour after the match ended I drove to roker to meet one of my girlfriends, the traffic was still bumper to bumper coming from the stadium all the way along the wearmouth bridge, through the town, down the east end, all the way down commercial road passed the raich carter, all the way along to the Hendon Grange, and then to the tollbar, literally crawling traffic bumper to bumper, 1 hour+ after the match.

Then people wonder why people leave early? It's a total nightmare to get away from the sol. Worst in the country.
