I don’t get this fawning over the Mackems support. The catchment area for Sunderland FC is huge. Population Tyne and Wear is 1.1 Million. But the area for attracting supporters is larger as the only competition is Newcastle, Darlington and Hartlepool. They should be getting 40k easily. So not so great really. Newcastle the only competition? They do have 50k crowds every match, but I doubt there are are many Sunderland supporters living there anyway!

That’s why they can easily pull 30-40k crowds. That huge number of potential supports can easily sustain 2 large clubs. Sunderland support should be huge so don’t understand the perpetual jizz fest about their support. It’s silly.
