Feel a bit torn about this..  

Would love to see the Mariners play at the Stadium of Light but will not be going while this competition is enabling the Premier League doctrine to be realised

I very much doubt that the future of this competition will be determined by whether one extra person attends a game or not. So take the opportunity to go see Town if you like, especially with it being so close to where you live.

I most certainly am not. Been to Stadium of Light loads of times anyway when we were half decent.

Been there, done that. Kevin Ball kicked the living crap out of our players with impunity and it was one of the most one-sided refereeing performances I've seen. We lost the game, but I seem to recall Buckley mentioning in his after-match interview that he was proud how his players had performed against the 14 men of Sunderland (and he wasn't talking about subs!).

The less the better










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Looks like we only ever had two games there? Stadium of Light opened for the 1997-98 season according to Wiki ( amongst others )

I was down south with a young family back then... now I'm an "empty nester" I could go and do it, no problem at all, but it won't be while we are in this competition. It just ain't the right thing to do

It would have been the 1998 game. I seem to recall that their first goal came from a corner when we were down to ten men. Livvo, one of our best aerial defenders, got taken out knee high clearing a ball in the box which the referee ignored/missed and was off the pitch after having treatment when they scored from the subsequent corner.

Funny the things you remember. Gulp, can't believe it was over 20 years ago!

And if everyfan thought like this then the games would have decent attendances and not be a failure.
