Yes mate, I think probably the last 3 times Sunderland has played Boro at home it's been maybe been around 4th biggest attendance? Still loads of interest in the game on our side though..Tbf, there's a dearth of pro clubs in our region compared to London where there's what, 10/15 clubs ?
Really, that does genuinely surprise me .
I have been at AP when there's been less than 13k but they still made a good noise.
Also been at RP when under 17k there - Lee Howey winner.
