In New York 2 weeks ago and an American asked me who do you support, I said Sunderland and his reply was “Sunderland... not even in the Championship anymore!” :oops:

Then at Newark airport on the way home going through security I had my shirt on. Emptying my pockets into the trays and just hear an American accent saying “lost twice at Wembley and didnt get promoted” look up and one of the guards is giggling :lol: Had a good crack like. The Americans bloody love us

Bloke at work just come back from 3 weeks in America/Canada and he said when he was in Seattle he unintentionally found himself within walking distance of their football stadium. Anyway he decided to go into the club shop for a souvenir and asked if he could take some photos of the pitch. The lass working in the shop asked what NE club he supported to which he said Sunderland. She said oh me and my boy love Sunderland. He says oh did you learn about us on Netflix and she actually said no, her and her boy followed Bradley’s story and her son had a Sounders top with Bradley on the back. Thought it was a nice story to hear.
She had still seen the documentary on Netflix and even said she keeps telling staff at the club that league one Sunderland have a stadium with almost 50,000 seats and the staff keep asking why do they host NFL there too?

I know who u mean Bob I think she has moved back up to Sunderland now, right?
 
Four of us went to Germany back end of last seaosn the week before the play off final. We went to see Fortuna Dusseldorf and we always wear Sunderland shirts at foriegn matches (never do at Sunderland games weirdly). The shirts make us stand out and encourage people to talk to us which is why we do it. Otherwise they would not know who we were and we would spend a weekend away talking to the same people we spend every other weekend talking to (try it, it works!!). The number of Dusseldorf fans who not only recognised the shirts we were wearing but also knew that we had a play off coming up was unreal. They had all watched and enjoyed the Netfix series and had empathy with us as a group of fans. You genuinely cannot buy that kind of publicity, especially not from league One.

That Netflix documentary was massively valuable to Sunderland AFC and our brand world wide and I hope the second one does even better.

One of the barmen at The Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas was telling us how much he enjoyed STID on Netflix and now looks out for our results.

The club might not have gotten any money for the documentary but the exposure it has given us has certainly paid off!

I was sat in a poker tournament at Binnions a few years ago ( in fact it was 3 weeks after we sold Hendo to the scousers), was wearing a polo shirt with our badge on it,scottish fella cross the table says , am gonna fetch a pal of mine over you two will get on. Turns out his pal was Hendos dad, so we had a good chat and he gave me all the crack on the transfer.
The sportsbook manager in the Aria , used to get on here, another yank who adopted us, I took him a shirt over a few years back , he said at the time any mackems who introduce themselves he will comp them a meal at one the resort restaurants.

I wonder if you were in the group of about 20 Harley drivers from the UK about 2 weeks ago. I chatted to the leader of the group in a gas station in Moss Beach on highway One about 20 miles south of San Francisco. He said he was going head off to Alices Restaurant on Skyline then south to Big Sur.
