The story goes we just happened to be shite and didn't sell out a lot. Not sure what the point of it is. But I started going in 91 and I can remember 2 sell outs v man utd 2v Newcastle. Didn't go to the cup games in 92 55at a guess I'd say the quarter final would of been. Derby promotion season was. Boro home in premier league won't of been far off. Everton last ever game.I reckon there was probably 50odd sell outs in his 20 stretch. f***ing hell I've just picked 5 without thinking. Spurs fa cup where we all to a man racially abused SOL campbell


Off the top of my head. The Liverpool league match 1990/91 was easily full with plenty locked out. Same year there was 25,000 there against Man Utd.

Coventry in the League Cup may have been full. Remember queuing at the Clock Stand and the gates shutting, so ran round to the Fulwell and got in.

Chelsea cup quarter final. Not sure if this was full but probably. Didn't have the same problems getting in as the Coventry match.

Newcastle play offs full. Don't think the league match that same season sold out.

I was at the West Ham match 1979/80, obviously full.

Can't remember many more.

Yeah what story's that?



In Houghton their main sport is Lacrosse.

You no f***ing brains mate?

What don't you understand about very rarely sold out in a 20 year period in a conversation about SAFC's ability/inability to fill a ground at Roker Park?

Why are you always so overly aggressive about nowt? :lol:
You're actually arguing about how few capacity crowds we got at Roker. Grow up man.

Mags, Man Utd, Derby (Boxing Day), Everton will have been in the last season.

Mebbes the game we lifted the league the year before. And Man Utd in the cup.

That Portsmouth game wouldn't have sold out even though they had millions of fans there.

It's hard to say as it was cash turnstiles and the club used to pocket loads to save on tax.

We used to laugh at some of the gates they announced.
 
Genuine question. Were they people just not that interested in football before Sky and Keegan sexed it up for them, or were there loads of traitors from around the North East that defected?
They were all in their day jobs scrating round for dorty fag butts and piss filled cans of larger to drink while reading the old dirty mags behind the public toilets

In Germany, building Greggs shops.
 
Yes we could sell out Roker Park that's a daft thing to say. You've also got to think large parts of the ground were standing only. Many women and kids wouldn't fancy standing all game.
Ok I'll rephrase it. We didn't sell out in the last season for several games and pointed out in another post that it was probably down to kids etc being more interested with the new stadium.
 
Is most of this thread still self loathing and pointing out our own non-sellouts?

Really weird bunch of football fans on here. It wouldn't happen on any other forum. We continually defend the mags on here yet they don't give us the lickings of a dog. Even the most reasonable mag wouldnt come out on a thread bashing pink seats & say "well you are forgetting we were only getting 17k pre-1992" :rolleyes:

Pretty sure Ive got a Fulwell End ticket stub for it
Mate no offence but werent you about 18 in the last season at Roker or am I on the wrong horse?
 
So you never mention my attendance? I'm not there on Saturday actually. I take it super fan eddie hitler is though as football still a relatively new concept to him since he Only started following football once we got a new stadium! :lol: No Shame in it as I've already said Bonny lad. There's thousands like you.
Stop biting son, making yoursell look like a proper tit :lol:
