If you like nothing more than to back the lads to the hilt and chant like your life depended on it then we encourage you to get your FA cup tickets next to us.

We’re encouraging like-minded Sunderland supporters to relocate. Join us for the cup game and help introduce several new chants.

We’re currently located in the last fews rows of the SWC around seats 82-88. Come along and get involved. If you’ve already paid for your ticket elsewhere in the ground and fancy getting in on the action then I’m sure the club would be happy to change your seat.

The hammers are on the horizon, and will be travelling with confidence after they cruised past Manchester United on Tuesday evening. It is essential we get back to winning ways and getting behind the team can only help. It was this fixture last year, which produced one of the best atmospheres to grace the Stadium of Light. It can be of no doubt that the home support that day was what rallied the team to come back from two down, and should actually have won the game. Visiting ‘Ammers made comments such as ‘I wish we could get Upton rocking like the Stadium of Light was’ and ‘Did you hear the home crowd? It was a wall of noise the entire second half’. Some argue that crowds make no difference, but this not the case. Hence the term ‘home advantage’. You only have to look at how even an average side can get the better of a good side with the crowd behind them (5-1 is the clue).

Also, coming up is the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Now we know of recent years the competition (according to some) has lost some of its edge. Well, lets make a day of it, get all of us like minded lads to decide on a place in the ground to congregate and lets make a bit of noise. This will be the perfect opportunity to show what we are about and it will be a good platform to get some new songs on the go. People have mentioned being bored of singing the same old songs so lets get the singing culture back with a few new melodies. Lets face it, we pay enough money these days to enter a football stadium, so we might as well make the best of it!
