( I don't know, thats why I'm asking). FWIW. I'm not sure of the business sense of ever pissing of your regular customers for a one-off sale. I dont sit near that corner, so I've no dog in this fight, but I could understand some raw emotions if people are getting moved to accomodate away fans. I assume if we drew United in the cup, then you would have no complaints giving 3/4 of the stadium to teh away team ? After all, they would probably pay more than we would. Or is it only the Yobbish Crazy corner that should be treated in this way ?

August 8, 20223 yr sat in south stand twice I can think of upper tier v Birmingham in the league - won 3-1, around 99/00 then some midweek league cup game v west ham around 05/06, think me and my mate were the only ones in there
August 8, 20223 yr I won tickets in one of Happy's competitions and they were for the South Upper (I'm sure Spider and Julie were also there)

I agree its a poor do to stick away fans in the gods if it isn't necessary. Atmosphere created by away fans doesn't seem to impact the result, it certainly didn't do Sunderland much good! Over the years its infamously done us no good at all away from home, in comparison to the many wins we've had with relatively few of us there.

August 8, 20223 yr I've done South Lower when it was pay on the day a few times for the 2 season I was at uni and didn't have a season ticket and didn't go into the ESL Done north lower for Madrid as it was classed as singing stand or some shit. Absolute bollocks. Got given some blow up clapping things. Get to fuck. Been in East lower and east upper 99.9% of games over the last 25 years. 2 games in West lower. Everton Cup game in January and that Bradford game when we'd opened one stand but ended up opening 3....ace. Not done South / West or North uppers and have no intention of trying.

Did they even have any? As an 11 year old ankle deep in piss I still remember my older brother pointing out a jam rag at head height! Burnden Bogs were literally just a room blokes went to piss on a wall and come out with piss soaked footwear.

Burnden Bogs were literally just a room blokes went to piss on a wall and come out with piss soaked footwear. The Lever end bogs were probably the worst. If i remember rightly there was only one shitter in the ones closest to Manny Rd, it was always full to the brim well before kick off and eventually it would be overflowing with piss, puke,shit, and cig butts. Like i said earlier, the stench was fucking unreal. Edited August 8, 20223 yr by Burndens Bogs
August 9, 20223 yr The toilets in the top corner between the paddock and the lever end the open air bit used to have a 8ft triffid living in it .
