My #1 album, 33 years 🤯

[Counting Crows @CountingCrows]

Let's get carried away man

[Sunderland AFC @SunderlandAFC]

Europe, eh? For Sunderland football club and our fans, the arrival there has been a whirlwind journey of exceeded expectations, of hopes beyond hope becoming realities, that has taken us in, a little over four years, from playing in front of 5,831 at Morecambe to a potential 75,000 at the San Siro in Milan.

I have friends who believed, in those League One days, that they’d never again see us play in the Premier League in their lifetimes, and that seemed a mindset that was less morbid than realistic.
Yet here we are.

Our last European adventure had us as the plucky underdogs who’d qualified by winning the FA Cup - much like Torreense this time around - but this time we’ve done it by maintaining our form over a full League season and by being what looks like an established top-flight side.

Almost too good to believe, but it’s here and we’re going to enjoy it. We’ve done a pretty good job of being part of the showbiz of the Premier League, of the necessary financial micromanagement, of promoting the club abroad - to the extent that a European competition seems a natural part of our journey.

As the club has progressed over recent seasons, so the city has redeveloped to become a great mixture of impressive new architecture and that of preserved and renovated historical nature. SAFC has always been a club of the people - the County Durham club, the club, the club that reflected the fortunes of the city and vice versa, and that could not be more true today. It’s time to show Europe that’s what we’re all about.

Football on Wearside has always been a form of release after a week’s hard graft in the shipyards, the glassworks, or down the pits across the county. A chance to forget the daily grind and join your marras in a few hours of escapism - put the world to rights over a couple of pints then focus your energy on roaring the Lads on to victory.

It’s happened for generations, and it’s not going to change even if the nature of the daily grind and the football venue have. For coal, glass, and ships read motor manufacture and service industries, for Roker Park read the Stadium of Light.

[Steven poppleton @StevePop78]

40 YEARS COUNT FOR NOTHING SAFC. I can't believe the way my family have been treated regarding our season tickets, as season ticket holder for last 20-years and hardly missing a home match the last 40-years I have been refused a new season ticket as I want to move from 76 yards to general admission. 2 years ago we moved into the black cats bar as my dad had mobility issues and struggled getting into his seat, we reluctantly agreed to stay when changing to the 76 yards as we new it would be my dad's last season, with help from family/friends we managed to absorb the astonishing price increase from £850 to around £2300. Unfortunately my dad joined the Heaven Branch in February. As we are/we're season ticket holders we presumed we would just move seat next season. When we informed the club we would like to move back to general admission we were told we would have to join the waiting list which had already Been accepting people for 3 weeks. I reached out further to club liason officers and they agreed I had a special case and would review this week's ago, with no reply from latest emails I was loosing hope and have just received a phone call from ticket office to say they have refused my request. After supporting our club through some of the darkest days especially the last 10 years I have now been brushed to one side as they have enough demand to fill the place without my family. Thank you very much SAFC @CWaters_SAF

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

Sunderland’s security staff made Spurs fans hand over their phone chargers and small change ahead of Sunday’s game.
The chargers were returned, the coins weren’t. Staff said the money would go to Spurs official charity. Mmmm.
Giving is voluntary, taking isn’t. Hand it back.

I’ve put together a fan-made site where you can search all of the Stadium of Light Wall of Fame bricks.

All 30,000+ are on there now, each with an image.

Mainly for anyone who can’t get to the ground or isn’t sure where theirs is.
