why are sunderland fans the best?

They are passionate and deserve a successful team to watch.

If somebody supports a different team, their supporters are better than Sunderland's!

As you will know, Sunderland is a tight-knit community that has gone through economic hardships and is still in a state of relative economic decline. Passionate support for your football team is a way of fighting back against these problems.

Local rivalry, in Sunderland's case against Newcastle, helps generate support.

Finally, Sunderland has a long and proud footballing tradition.

the best my a r s e everyone knows the geordies are the best and most passionate fans in the country. as for 30 and 40 thousand every home game that might have something to do with you letting kids and elderly in for free you daft mackem.

to you they maybe the best as you support them!

to me the QPR fans are the best,we have a good die hard away support.

I will be travelling up to sunderland this season 14th April 2007 look forward to seeing 30 thousand screaming black cat fans.

They aren't the best, Newcastle fans are just as loyal. I'd also say fans of teams that just got demoted out of the Football League entirely and still has hope of success

Because you're a half-Irish team! Big Niall Quinn in charge now, Mick McCarthy's been and gone, and the future is with Dave O'Leary! Then you've got Jay-o McAteer and the like.

there not the best! to fill your stadium is good fans to out sing the opponets home and away thats good fans dont just sit there cheer when you score sit down again. good fans would stay and fill the stadium yeh they had a rubbish season but fans should stick with your team, pompey fans are the best example and you all no it!! PLAY UP POMPEY!

Sorry pal they aren't. Manchester City fans impress me more.

They went down 2 divisions and were still getting gates of between 25,000 and 30,000.

To me that is following your team through thick and thin.

Because there's nothing else to do in Sunderland.

30-40 Thousand...Good form lads, See you on 17th March when the black n amber army's in town... hope you've got enough seats.

THEY ARE THE BEST FANS GOING BECAUSE TO PAY TO WATCH THE AWFUL FOOTBALL THAT SUNDERLAND PLAY THEY MUST BE LOYAL.
