Colin Young absolutely panning our owners tonight - worth a re listen.



Also a mag on claiming they could sell st james out 3 times over!!!!

Only caught a bit of the programme last night. I’ll definitely go on bbc sounds to get that Colin Young bit.

On the ground capacity subject I heard Barnesy saying at one point the sol was almost too big for our support while the Newcastle lot were discussing whether 60, 70 or 80k would be the right size for their ground.

What they didn’t say (in the bit I heard anyway) was if roles were reversed and we were bankrolled by a (hopefully more ethical) obscenely wealthy state and could spend our way into the top six, how many fans would we get?

Even John Anderson was saying as much. All you’d need is a mid table finish and there’d by thousands of empty seats !

John was playing as was Micky Quinn Lee Clarke ect when they were getting crowds of 10000 in the nineties -so he knows how support goes .
 
Yeah, wasnt impressed with NB comment saying 45-46 for us max. Put a competitive team on that pitch we sell out simple. But any talk of extending stadium is silly.
 
Just listened to it and didn’t think Barnes said anything wrong to be honest.

They also had a bit of a joke about the guy saying they could fill St James’s three times over later on in the show

He didn't, its the usual faux outrage on here.

If we extended it would be half empty inless we were consistently at the top of the premier league

yer i thought the stuff from barnsey was a bit respectful about the capacity putting down our support yet bigging up theirs.....i know they have a lot of blood money but both sunderland and newcastla have similar catchment area for fans and there is a f nite limit to both with actually how manyay people in the region are actually interested in football and moreso are willing to shell oyut the £££ to watch..my personal opinion is that sunderland given the same circumstances of success would be able to attract the same number of fans as the scum... Barnsey was banging on how we struggled to fill the ground one boxing day despite efforts from charlie and the club ffs that was in the 1st division 44 thousand ffs canny crowd in my book!
In truth newcastle on average have nearly always had a slightly larger crowd than us (not by much)but but the only difference between us and them is the success that will be brought by the blood money of the saudie state and its about time our commentator Barnsey acknowledged this .
Tonight they were rehashing the how big st james park should be (one nutter yesterday suggested 150 thousand?and discussing why KLD as owned of safc does not do interviews with the local media putting him down for not doing so yet no mention that the scum owners haven't done it either..fekking priceless!

Best wishes to Marco, but I’d rather have all me teeth pulled without anaesthetic than listen to that drivel.
