Man Utd and Man City were saying the same things about us last year. Difference being of course that we weren’t offering blow jobs outside the away end or in local pubs. 3 or 4 who seem to have a dislike for City. Apart from the Coventry game in 77 I can’t think what we’ve done to be so important to them? Although I suppose I can understand why a group of fans from the North East who are 2 divisions below their bigger, better supported local rivals would be sympathetic towards the Sags. Funny how the smaller teams they play every season don’t seem to come out with the same gushing praise. But then the ‘super loyal’ Gasheads only make an effort when visiting or hosting a big club. The fact is, more BRISTOLIANS love City. Always been the case as historic attendances prove. They can have the sympathy vote, it doesn’t change the facts. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this post from ‘Grumpy Old Man’ demonstrates just how little Sunderland fans actually know about football in Bristol (either that or they’ve spent the evening listening to Gasheads bullshit). No mention of stealing the ground when the Rugby club were in dire financial straits (long before Lansdown arrived), Redevelopment plans Nimbied?

It was 41,000 at Wembley for the League Two playoff final against Shrewsbury and about 30,000 for the Conference playoff final. The record for an attendance in a League Two play off final is still the 61,589 who watched our game in 2007 and the attendance of 47,029 against Grimsby in 2015 was a record for a Conference Premier match.

No offence but are you sure they weren't taking the piss or worried they would get a shoeing if they said they preferred City ? It would be a stupid thing to say otherwise in the Sportsman wouldn't it. Take a look at the top end of the Championship and consider the size of the clubs there Gurensey FC is getting over 20,000 nowadays and they are just average in terms of attendances - Sunderland fans would know that. Fact is, taking perhaps 40,000 to Wembley on a one off jolly with loads of non fans is the same as the sh** doing the same. We haven't averaged over five figures in decades so our fan base isn't massive at all. How the **** does anyone establish a fanbase anyway ? Do you tick a box when you return your council tax form ? A big club coming to town and patting us on the head and we are grateful for it.... pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking lads. I asked them if they preferred us to the 82ers and they all agreed. They thought our support at their place was brilliant and they could see that we are as passionate about our club as they are about theirs. They had seen the shitheads and Swansea the other week and commented on how amazingly friendly our fans were in comparison. They were surprised when I told them that Rovers have taken 40,000 to Wembley in the past. They though we should be pushing top half Championship at least with such a massive fan base. Hopefully they won’t go up because I’d love another weekend in Newcastle £2.60 a pint! FTG.

So moving to a new ground would multiply their attendances by 2? Gas logic at its finest. Let's be honest though, we'll never find out what a new stadium would do to their attendances as they're never getting one... I actually think they like the fact that they aren't getting a new stadium. It gives them free reign to continue spouting this sort of nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Doesn't say a lot for their supporters. Will come out in droves if they are successful and play in a new stadium but rarely fill the current dump as they fight relegation. Massive, passionate, loyal fan base my arse.

But hang on...I thought they were ‘proper fans’? Real supporters, not ‘plastic’ like wot us ‘teds’ is? This is another Saghead suggesting that they won’t turn up and support their team in decent numbers unless they’ve got a nice comfy seat to sit in? “If they play on the street we’ll watch from the pavement” Full of shit. Yeah but you forget that about 18 months ago when they were ”gert coming for da Shit” they were selling out their 12k stadium every week with literally thousands of them watching on the big screen in the car park...............weren’t they?
