I really hope we give them limited tickets.

Coventry City Away
Why do some of our fans stalk the Sunderland forum when we’re not even playing them?
I read all the teams forums in the league as I have an interest in football and the teams we play soon.
why do you waste your time moaning on this one?
I just find the whole Sunderland obsession odd especially when we’re not playing them. Last home game and Shrewsbury away our fans were singing a song Newcastle made about them for ages
I think the trouble will be there for sure with a lot of cov lads going over for it
I'd say the obsession is mores theirs judging by the number of threads they create season after season. I don't go on there unless someone posts a link, but am always entertained when I do. Some absolute belters in that thread.
I like the poster saying "We are their world". Cheers for dropping down two divisions to make our dreams come true
We probably have as many mentions of Sunderland and threads made on here as they do on their board. Its really odd. Nobody gave a shit about them a couple of years ago and now the idiot section of both fanbases won't let it drop.
Recently maybe, but they have doing it for years, right back to Sixfields and then loads more when Jimmy Hill died. It took the game last season at the Ricoh for our lot to properly jump on it. It's all a bit silly, but I'm not that arsed by it. Fans of two clubs don't like each other and have an irrational rivalry - we're hardly breaking new ground here.
I'm not one for this manufactured rivalry and the ones I chatted to at the away game this season were sound but I can't resist a look on that forum. They're proper batshit.
The line on the last page about how we invented walking football with Bristol City is an absolute cracker, you've got to hoy your hat off
It all started with one idiot Sunderland fan coming on back in the GMK days going on and on about the Bristol City game, Jimmy Hill etc and it snowballed. We played them loads of times afterwards in the top division and never an issue, it seemed to gather momentum for some reason when we dropped out the Prem just shows the dubious power of social media.
The other cov thread on there posted last week (with a video of us singing about them) had one bloke who was obsessed with the Jimmy Hill statue. About 5 different posts about wanting to shit on it, shout at it etc. It is a brilliant read if you're at a loose end. They went from relegation posts to winning the league posts after one win. Their delusions of grandeur are astounding.
I thought this place was fickle but they're fucking mentalists for that over there
All this stuff is really just encouraged by a minority of idiots on both sides, but I'd love to see if there's anyone who can compete with the guy shouting at the statue. That's world class stuff
They're so weird. And calling Birmingham and Coventry shitholes when you come from that dump !! Looking forward to it as it'll be a comfortable win we have a far superior side than them
Which of their players are better than ours? If its less than half then we have the better side....
"We have the better side" is quite different to the original comment of "we have a far superior side"
Yeah I know, i'm just interested as to which Sunderland's players people think are better than what we have got.
I would imagine the police are going to have plenty to say about how many tickets they get especially if Villa are at home.
Birmingham is a big day out for small towners from Sunderland. Let's not forget they haven't won anything since 1973.
Shrewsbury away was embarrassing.... about 10-15 minutes of it.... I kind of get it with Villa, But Sunderland? Who cares?
I think maybe the lack of a proper rival for the past few season probably hasn't helped.
