Sunderland - always been a massive club

A few 'massive' clubs need to take a look at at their attendance back then.

Didnt we have a bigger average attendance than both Sunderland & Newcastle that season?

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Not quite...
Newcastle 23k
Sunderland 15k
Boro 20k

Not bad for a small town in Yorkshire.

Sunderland just above Wolves who were in the old 3rd division

You'd think Sunderland would be on a high.
They won promotion the year before I think.

They had some awful attendances in the later years at Roker Park.
