Awful atmosphere at the SOS

[Borehamwood_Boro]

What an anti climax, would be gutted if the riverside was so flat for a derby after such a long absence.

Riverside will likely be today before anyone starts but our game is at the opposite end of priority, a game we don't need or really care about

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

It doesn’t seem that flat to me. It might be now though. 1-0

 

[TeaCider]

I'm assuming it's the ITV microphones, because I can't imagine it being as quiet as it sounds in reality.

 

[Boro4life]

Only gonna be the geordies left in the staidum after half time at this rate

"They didn't bring much from Roker Park but they did bring the roar." Demonstrating how commentators can still make you die a bit inside.

 

[Uwefuchs]

Can barely hear the Sunderland crowd apart from someone banging the back of the stand. You could hear individual fans shouting at the players towards the end of the half, flat as a fart.

I've been to the SOS a number of times and I only heard a really electric atmosphere once and that was an England game.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

The atmosphere has been hyped up to the rafters, but in truth it's been pretty tame.

 

[Blf]

The sound seemed to change around kick off. Think ITV might have messed with it to make commentary easier.

 

[WeeGord]

Ooops! 2-0.

The only sound you'll hear shortly is that of fearful seagulls.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

How long before the stadium empties?

 

[Uwefuchs]

How long before the stadium empties?

They'll be leaving on mass before the hour mark.

 

[Otto42]

Another goal gifted to them. Sunderland have got this all wrong. No point trying to give them a game of football!

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Barcodes score again and the ground will empty quicker than a tramp on chips

 

[Otto42]

We are seeing why Jack Clarke didn’t make it at Spurs!

 

[Redwurzel]

Straight forward win for Newcastle.

 

[1finny]

Straight forward win for Newcastle.

Not totally convinced by that
Stupid defensive error took the game away but, after that, S’land forced 3 great saves from their keeper

All about opinions tho

Glad we didn't go for Clarkie - he's crap.

It was about as easy as Newcastle would have wanted it to be. sunderland only had any semblance of a chance once the game was already won.
