Got invited into corporate hospitality today by an Albion mate so sat on half way by the directors box. Have to say I was well proud of the SBA, really loud, completely out sang them and lots of muttered comments around us to the effect ‘let’s shut that lot up’

I feel blue about Coventry’s lacklustre plans for UK City of Culture | Times2 | The Times Some comments added re Council and Wasps. Some bloke really biting. Edit - my people at SBT tell me this is all behind a paywall, see below for the pertinent text.

Apart from a number of Sunderland fans recycling hearsay, what actual evidence exists to substantiate the allegations that City fans pelted them with various missiles more than happens whenever and wherever supporters are seated above the opposition? Have I missed the damning phone footage, the...

In a word...amazing! Loud, passionate support from start to finish. Must help the team away from home no end to have that backing. Proud to have been a part of it.

Held tonight, inaugural meeting, very well attended. Guests David Meyler, Dom Hyam and Bakayoko. Good fun, Meyler on particularly good form. These events are great for fostering a real sense of togetherness between fans and the players whose human side we can often forget. Clive Eakin and...

I go and watch Cov RFC occasionally with a mate, if we’re away somewhere crap. On Saturday he went to The Butts while I was at the Ricoh. Says he was running late and got to the car park at the ground about 5 minutes to 3. As he was paying the attendant his fiver a bloke with a London accent...

Have to say I thought it was tremendous. Lot of talk about it being a home game for Sunderland but whilst they made some noise after they scored,we made a lot of noise throughout. Before they scored and after we did they were pretty quiet. Blocks 14 and 15 usually pretty much on their own but...

4 of us off to England v Spain. Relaxing evening watching a match without trepidation every time the opposition attack. Obviously want England to do well and win but a pleasant change to be able to actually enjoy a match. Plus great to return to Wembley with such fantastic memories from last...

Some imbecile in Block 15 today actually booed Bakayoko as he came on. That is going to help how exactly? People around him reacted angrily and looked likely to kick off except the booer didn’t seem to have the balls!

...I don't now!

Tim is on there. I shall probably message him and ask him if there is any plan and if so what. Odd that there's no mention whatsoever of CCFC. According to his profile he currently works for Calimere Point Moksha and Calimere Point Advisers, ( 288 Bishopsgate, London calimerepoint.com , tel...

Ah, those were the days...

Going from top of the table to bottom in a year!

Spent so far by SISU according to the article by Neil McInnes in The Guardian on 12 October 2016 subject of a separate thread. Seems too significant a point to bury in that thread now. I presume it is a reasonably accurate figure. And for what exactly? To prove that the company SISU were...

What is the legality, I wonder, of season ticket holders who have direct debits, cancelling them on the basis that they no longer want the product? We surely don't owe them for matches not yet played and could defend any attempt to recover the outstanding balance on the grounds that their...

Replica of our fiendish collaboration with Bristol City to send Sunderland down 40 years ago acted out yesterday in the cricket county championship. Three clubs could win the title. Somerset in beating Notts would win if the other two, Middlesex and Yorkshire, drew with each other. If there was...

How things change. A couple of days ago I drove through the tight, terraced streets at the back of the old West End (never, for me 'West Terrace'), scene of many a running battle in the early 70s. How I loved the West End then, the packed Cov mob behind the goal, the away fans a gangway away...

So, as Duncan Bannatyne might say, here's where I am. I'm 53. I first went to HR in 1969 with my Dad, whose last game before he succumbed to cancer was the goodbye to HR. Was a season ticket holder for years. I have a 14 year old lad who at first supported Arsenal. I let him but quietly ensured...

Three tickets bought direct from MK Dons, yes I know they're a bunch of shysters like SISU but this will be first game of the season for me and the two lads. As I was getting them lad rushed in to say Joe Murphy had saved a penalty. I suspect there may be a few of us there. Train to Bletchley...
