I have to be honest and say that the thought never crossed my mind. Should I feel ashamed? I know that this was probably because I was subconsciously frozen solid inside, through complete fear, but at the time it honestly just felt like the Sunderland top was irrelevant to my day/life. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I saw a little kid in the metro centre at the weekend in a Sunderland shirt and I screamed you came to wrong neighbourhood mother fucker and jumped off the balcony with a Randy savage elbow drop. He’s dead now, and I hockled in his mams face as she cried over what remains of her kid. In reality, I saw him - thought it’s not actually a poor quality shirt for a mackem kit and went and bought my son a toon top for him to wear at Dalton Park because nothing prepares you for life more than getting windmilled by a mental mackem. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21620 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) They've got a canny long thread brewing about the new Sela stack. Now I've moved office and it is not a handy piss break for me can't say I'm arsed about it. Anyway, turns out it is an absolute disaster for the city and it means visiting away fans will now be socialising in Sunderland. Talking of which, in Sunderland they have opened a new eating/drinking venue called "the Stables" in a place near the SoL (Sheepfolds). https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/sheepfolds-development.1569674/ Some decent enough vendors by the sounds of it but here are some comments: Raw sewerage leaking from the toilet (standard). Floor is uneven so they can't put tables/barrels on it in the courtyard. Only two bars so massive "ques" (it seems to be beyond mackem comprehension to spell queue). Shit music played too loud. Feral kids running amok. Dogs allowed to sit on tables in venues. I scream for pizza charging FIVE POWOUND FOWER A SINGLE PIZZA SLICE MARRA! Oh, and the unraguable fact the place is literally located on an industrial estate opposite a scrap yard (below). I dunno, I think away fans for both us and Sunderland might just stick with Newcastle after all. Edited August 12 by Renton 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 9204 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 regarding football dinosaur's short post above.... i think the last week or so has probably highlighted to potential visitors which is the more welcoming and inclusive place between newcastle and sunderland. sunderland isn't a city, it's a moment of pissed up madness by our late queen. and there's nowt great about it either, it's a fucking shithole. but apart from that, he's nailed his post. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21620 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Honestly man, they are fucking mental. Newcastle is a fairly well known, even famous, hsopitality city frequently voted the most friendly city in the UK. Huge restaurant and pub scene over multiple areas, plenty hotels, good transport links. It's just geared up for it. I know I am inevitably biased but Sunderland just is not. Green text: it is fucking true. Yellow text: as evidenced by the underlying premise of this message. Perfectly friendly as long as you say what greyate marras we all are, and say it in the right places, otherwise...... WHy aye. Got all his Newcastle marras to leave work at Gosforth to come drinking in Sunderland, 20 years ago. Has "ftm" in his username.

Ended up in somewhere called Arizona which I assume is a late night bar/club. The bouncers were letting people in wearing tracksuits and trainers. We had an autistic lad out with us who is an "enthusiastic" dancer. I literally had to follow him around the dance floor he was getting that many dirty looks off the locals he dared get close too. Genuinely one of, if not THE, worst night out I've ever had . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) I've been on plenty of other clubs' message boards and the recurring theme is that whenever they've an away day in Sunderland thy either stay for a night out in Newcastle, or are in and out like a black ops rendition team.

As someone who went to uni in Sunderland and even lived there for a spell in my third year (just off Chester road beycause I was geyt posh, marra) can confirm there is zero reason anyone would go to Sunderland for a drink pre or post game. Also this “friendliest marras” thing is horseshit too. My mates brother was up from Leeds and we went out for a few drinks before a mackem game. No one had a footy top on or announced affiliations one way or another. My mates brother got a glass thrown at him because someone didn’t like his accent - as he literally ordered a pint at the bar, so doing nowt. Sunderland weren’t even playing a Yorkshire based team from memory. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met some Brizzle Rovers fans in town as we were waiting to go up to auld reekie a few years ago and of course they were playing the mackems. Asked why as if it needed asking but they were up from THURSDAY for the Saturday game as they love it up here and it's a bit of a holiday playing up here for them. I didn't ask them if they hated the mackems anaaarl as the idea of going to Sunderland for them as opposed to spending a few days here was laughable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42427 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I’ve stayed in Brizzle a few times when I had my rope access business. Of all the other cities in the UK, it struck me as having a very similar vibe to Newcastle- might have been the area we were staying - Clifton, which has similar architecture, as did the part of the city we frequented, more likely was that both areas were also stowed out with top-notch blart. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
