Sir Jimmy for me. Would have loved to have seen him live

Yes but it is who you would re sigb mate. We had a few players in their prime who would like to re sign

Negative, mundane, boring football. That was why Larry. It always seemed to be that we would go 1 nil up, panic and defend a 1 goal lead for our lives and end up losing. I know there are a couple of games such as Cods at home where we went for it and looked ok, but in the main it was get a one...

Never seemed to miss against us though haha

1 game. Forgot about that

I have to agree with Steve Davies. He came here with a fairly decent record and it just didn't happen for one reason or another. I even bought in to him second time round, thinking maybe he could rediscover some form. Just never materialised here.

Thanks for the info lads. I do recall my Grandad rest his soul, say 12,000, but wanted to double check

Can anyone give me a rough capacity of the old spion kop before development please? Struggling to find out.

Interesting you say about the average wage. I watched the docu series about Sunderland and it stated that the average wage in the Premier league was 66k per week (last season) 14k pw in championship and 2k in league one. They were highlighting the fact that the club just couldn't keep paying...

Of course he does. Wonder if Fylde were top like Barrow are, would he still be saying it?

He sure did. I am pretty sure the attendance for that game was 9,666?

When you look at them statistics, there is more positive than bad

Stewart Donald is still the chairman/owner as far as I know. I heard he put around £8m in to aquiring Sunderland then used parachute payments to pay the rest owed. I was told this by a couple of Sunderland supporters. Not sure how true it is, but I think you hit the nail on the head that he aint...

Cheers mate. Off to raid the cupboard now 👍😂

Remember the loos in the scratching sheds. Essentially just a wall with a built in gutter at bottom. The stench wasn't great if stood near em. Remember 95/96 season when we were up top end of the league being rammed and couldn't get clear of the loos where the entrance was. I preferred the south...

One of the nicest biscuits going

Cadbury's chocolate is a fav. Their easter egg chocolate is the best of the lot for me. Food wise anything with pasta. Spag bol, carbonara, pasta bake. Shame it is getting harder to aquire the pasta lol

Flitted between Gazza and Tony Ellis. Suffice to say I couldn't play like Gazza or score goals like Ellis 😂

With you on this mate. They need to act on it. I think the next month or so will indicate where we are at

My Mum works up at the Vic and said supplies for protective gear were running worryingly low. I must add she is on a regular ward and not a Covid ward. That said there was an 80 year old lady diagnosed last week and who died who was on my Mum's ward. They had to shut ward down to disinfect and...
