    Your Bad Days At A Match

    New Den isn't much better. They will still happily beat the living shit out of anyone who comes near, no matter what the result of the game. And just as happy if it's the police. Seen TV programmes and youtube clips of them punching police horses, kicking police dogs, chucking paving slabs and...

    Your Bad Days At A Match

    There were definitely fences still up in 84/85 (probably came down after the Taylor Report into Hillsborough), but i recall a number of away fans "remodelling" the open end by liberating it of its seats in the early days - Newcastle and Leeds spring to mind, with most of the penalty area at that...

    Legals Update This Week / SISU Lose chance to appeal

    Tosser!! When is his seat in Henley Ward up for re-election?? Not this year - it is only Patricia Seaman (snigger) of the incumbent Labour group. But we need candidates to stand against him AND Ed Ruane, also in Henley Ward - both think they own the city!

    Designated Survivor

    I thought Series 1 was brilliant, edge-of-your-seat drama. Series 2 lost that for me (went all a bit "House of Cards" - don't know when to finish), so haven't seen it since.

    Legals Update This Week / SISU Lose chance to appeal

    There is no "arguable point of law" in their appeal. Therefore the appeal cannot be heard. It's my understanding that they could only go to the ECJ if the appeal had been heard in the Supreme Court (on an arguable point of law), but they had lost. I don't believe you can go willy-nilly to the...

    CRFC vs Nottingham

    Not to undermine what Cov are doing, which is brilliant, and it’s great that they’ll be in the Championship next season, but I was in Gloucester yesterday. Gloucester RFC were at home to Bath, their biggest match of the season, and I was impressed with the enormous buzz around the ground...

    Tiger Woods

    I used to think he was a bit of an arrogant wanker, but he has genuinely been through it, and looked so happy to win today. Made up for the lad!!

    Thing being thrown at Sunderland

    I remember at Highfield Road when the Spion Kop terrace was there (pre East Stand), they put the away fans in the eastern end of the Sky Blue stand (both tiers). They had to put a safety net along the end of the stand as it became fashionable for the away fans to chuck stuff at the City fans on...

    An entertaining perspective on yesterday

    8 points behind Donny now. At the start of the season, most of us agreed that consolidation in L1 would be the most likely outcome, and we accepted that. To have come so close IS disappointing but not taking our chances in front of goal and going to sleep at the back, especially against lower...

    City on Quest

    Magwitch you have contributed to enough threads on the matter, so you must understand by now that the club’s owners are not solely responsible for the current situation? It’s all very well having our profile raised in the media, but that Times article and now the Colin Murray show are still only...

    Sunderland fans forum - post match

    Can I request that those of you who witnessed anyone near you throwing bottles or other objects contact either CCFC, police on 101 or Crimestoppers to report where you were sitting, whereabouts they were relative to you and when in the match it happened? They may be able to look through CCTV or...

    An entertaining perspective on yesterday

    He seems a good lad. But can we be the better side against Bradford, Pompey and Donny? Has he never seen away fans with a police escort there? Through their “fan zone” (aka a burger van) too - another bit of poor ground management. But CCFC needs to make a statement about doing all they can to...

    Sunderland Fan On Radio Moaning

    No excuses, sure, but I would like to see their risk assessment for putting away fans in the tier above ANY home fans, let alone those you describe. They’ve clearly concluded that the risk is tolerable! They have failed in their duty of care to the home fans, and injury has resulted. Equals...

    Sunderland Fan On Radio Moaning

    I have to say it is inexcusable to lob bottles at opposing fans, but which safety committee took the fucking ludicrous decision to put away fans above the home fans? Do they not remember the England riot at Lansdowne Road, Dublin? Grossly negligent!

    Equality?

    My missus considers herself a feminist but isn’t a rabid activist, and she often says she is ashamed to be a woman because of what goes on in the name of equality. She doesn’t want favouritism!

    Local Elections

    Take your point but Gary Ridley, leader of conservative opposition has stood squarely alongside Duggins in the recent “open letter” phase, so might not be so pro-CCFC
