Mackem on 5 live saying the reason the SOS was half empty was because of the midday KO....as so many Mackems have to travel so far to the game Must have been no West Ham fans there as they had to travel from London And now there's one on moaning about Alan Green - but he's giving him shite.

Suddenly I feel better

Am listening to the show as well. I'd be interested to know if the Mackem's claim that they've got the 2nd largest number(after ManU of course) of London-based supporters is true.

thought the most interesting fact was that 2/3 of SoS season ticket holders do NOT have a Sunderland postcode. Before we have a go though, and especially after all the shite we give LR about Manure Londoners on here, I do wonder how many of St James'faithfull live outside the area.Anyone any ideas?

Well you aren't really likely to see them are you sting since the chances are that you'll just be travelling up for the match and we play at home on alternate weekends :))

It's bollox - according to that survey that wound us all up so much, we have more out of towners than Man Utd. Who knows - people live all over the place. WE would have filled SJP for a fifth round game aginst PL opposition. End of story.
