Roker Park plaque

[RedandWhiteRebel]

A full size replica of one of the floodlights would look class seen for miles around.Also could be used as streetlight.So a monument with a function.

Love the idea of a replica floodlight but it would be cut down and weighed in for scrap metal.

Cannot have anything nice these days.

True True even though the thing would be nearly 200ft high the buggers would find a way of getting it down.

Midfield drive , absolutely dreamt up by someone who’s never been to a match let alone roker

Turnstile Mews always make me laugh/ cringe.

Imagine what the local residents would have to say if the council announced they were building a 200ft pylon to be placed in the middle of their housing estate.

But its a yes from me.

Signed. Would be nice to see it happen. Cast it in stone so the metal thieves won’t bother and set it in concrete so random scumbags can’t lift it

I always thought they should have kept a token part of the ground like a wall or something like Boro did with Ayresome Park

I said at the time that the pitch and two side stands should’ve been kept for reserve, youth, lasses, Sunderland boys, local cup finals etc.
The selling price fee was minuscule even at the time. Should’ve built flats on the ends aka Orient. Mebbes with half a dozen standing rows behind the goals

Now PL clubs are looking to build second stadiums. Everton are laughing.

Gibson (can’t) drive, Galloway way, mcgeouch mount

The whole thing was a half arsed mess.

Should have named the streets after stands or famous players (not Jill Scott!!!!!!!)

Instead we got piss take, joke names:
Promotion Close
Midfield Drive


Cheers for that Bob 'legend stone' Murray, and WDSC

I highly doubt Murray was responsible for naming the streets.

I highly doubt Murray was responsible for naming the streets.

He sold the land and 100% could have insisted on something fitting.

Instead it was left to a lass on work experience to think up some crap puns.

Have misread this as Roker Park Plague multiple times today

The blue plaque for the original home of Sunderland near the raich carter centre was sadly pinched

Was it? Shame.
We visited all of the blue plaques of our old grounds when they were first installed, one Sunday morning. Very interesting stuff.
