Trouble after match

Eventually Sunderland supporters will lose patience with one of these groups and they'll take a pasting. Whenever we go away they're all friendly in the pubs before the match. But go in after and the numbers are reversed, they started acting up. Crewe was like that in the Corner Bar, their hooligans arrived and told a handful of Sunderland shirts they had 5 minutes to get out.

Wankers.

Yes that was us, we were in the corner bar waiting for our train back to Preston when the Crewe coke head’s surrounded us and told us to “leave our pub” rammed a pint pot in face on one of us ( good job they were plastic glasses) we were probably the last Sunderland supporters in there, I’m 56 and my mate 63 don’t need that shit, absolute scum and soft as shit, nowhere to be seen before game when it was full of away fans.

Hate all these small time shit little clubs tbh. I know it sounds arrogant, but fuck them. I take my bairn in the north stand and I'm sick of wondering if a flare will hit him, or wondering how many times he'll have to hear songs about paedophiles. Used to quite like the small clubs in the pyramid, having had most of them come to the SoL I wouldn't give a fuck if most of them went bust

Not having a go at you, but, Boro fans have had to 'put up' with Sunderland and Newcastle fans singing songs about paedophiles for years.
Gets dismissed as 'banter' on here.

Well thank the lord I was a polite 😉

my view is they should be north west corner.

My view is put them anywhere but behind either goal. It either gives teams who sell out a big advantage kicking towards their fans for half the game or the smaller clubs have about 100 fans there and it looks absolutely shit. I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want us kicking towards our own fans for the full 90 minutes.

Was hilarious watching the few Danny Dyer's come at us at full time outside the north stand like. Casually walking and these little spenks come dancing at us. Pause wondering what was going on before deciding to respond before the police came charging in with batons. Rightly so by the way. Pants shit all over. Shame like cos they'd have got a right hiding but we'll done to the law. 😎
Fair play truth be told. Not really had owt like that so fair play for the lads and lasses being on top of it. X

The first one who got hit by the police must be in agony this morning.

I don’t understand why Sunderland don’t choose to attack the ‘popular’ end (south stand) 2nd half, and instead the default is to attack the relatively soulless, empty North Stand.

50% of the seats in the SOL are free. It’s very do-able. If I get moved I don’t mind, the atmosphere is poor anyway so there’s nothing to lose.

Away fans can only be moved to the South Stand, so you’d be moving a large number of SC holders to other parts of the SOL. It’s far from ideal

The only place they can go is the South Stand mate. The corners simply don’t have the facilities/police support for a move to happen

Ive never had issues with the away fans being up there tbh before we entered this shithole of a league. A mixture of cost cutting on our part and away fans not giving a shit is proving a recipe for disaster.

The club need to sort it out

I have as do many others. Absolute stupidity that they are in such a dominant position in what was supposed to be the main home end (the new Fulwell) when we first moved to the SOL and which I think now could be given over to our younger fans possibly with cheaper season cards to get a better atmosphere going, although winning football ultimately determines if the place is rocking or not.

Putting them up there ‘out of the way’ was part of a stupid trend in football over the past couple of decades to get away fans out of sight of TV cameras etc to a position where their support would have less impact for the home club. It happened all over the country and did not help overall to create a better atmosphere in stadia.

Away fans are part of the culture of the game and should not be treat like shit by ignoramuses within the game who know nothing about such culture and whose negative actions do nothing to create a better match day experience for the home club or away fans.

Get them moved.

Why can they only go in the north upper or south stand?

At Roker Park, I saw away fans get variously allocated the 3 different sections of the Roker End, Clockstand paddock and seats, and Mainstand seats, depending on numbers brought.

Could the SOL really be so inflexible in terms of where it might accommodate away fans?

It’s probably just carried on from when away fans were behind the south stand goal, habit more than likely. Agree it seems daft now.
