Comments on: Could the Stadium Of Light Host Games in 2018? http://www.2018england.co.uk/stadium-of-light.html World Cup Hosting Bid Information Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:56:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Joe Baillie http://www.2018england.co.uk/stadium-of-light.html#comment-3048 Joe Baillie Fri, 31 Oct 2008 23:31:43 +0000 http://www.2018england.co.uk/stadium-of-light.html#comment-3048 With Wembley as a showcase (less support on an international than the 2 NE teams playing bottom PL clubs) Old Trafford (no atmosphere old trafford) and The Emirates (no atmosphere emirates) that makes Sid James's and The Stadium Of Light the biggest stadiums in the country who actually know what atmosphere is, the fact that people consider the 20,000 at Portsmouth to be the next best atmosphere in the prem sums it up, For true love of the game the NE is the best place to be, due to the lack of football success the NE is ignored too much by the FA, 2 teams in 2 city's who manage 80,000 between them on a normal premier league match day without having really achieved anything since the 70's shows the passion in NE football as did the recent Wear-Tyne derby, the North East loves football, London and the North East can't compare for blind passion.

You can slate the area for it's football achievements but not for it's support and atmosphere it's the best in the country and maybe the world.

I don't know maybe it has something to do with the North East being such a depressing, God-forbidden place. Funny how both clubs were getting terrible crowds when they were in lower divisions but now fill their stadiums in the land of milk and honey, even though the North East has the self-proclaimed most passionate loyal supporters in the country.

Whereas the Stadium of Light can easily continue expanding, to a stage even where it could compare to the height of Nou Camp. Georides are being extremely dillusional and naive in believing there stadium is better than the Stadium of Light. They have to remember it will not be a club occasion, not Sunderland vs Newcastle, it's the World Cup for christ sake where all of England will be supporting. Just look at this "I dont like the SOL’s roof whereas I love St. James’ clear awning." how nit picky can you get, the Stadium of Light has a clear roof dipshit, and I've noticed how thats the only thing you like about the stadium, it's an eyesore, massive on one side, minute on the other, some serious shit headed geordie must have been involved in designing this stadium. Sunderland forever! FTM! FTM! St James’ Park cannot be expanded on the small sides, because of the housing area behind, meaning that it is highly unlikely it will ever reach 60,000.

Our stadium is newer, louder, and much better quality than yours and you can't take it. Will you ever learn? maybe when Keegan and Ashley run your club to the ground.

I dont like the SOL's roof whereas I love St. James' clear awning. And while Sunderlands stadium could build to a million capacity, it has no reason to go any higher than what they have now, especially once they get relegated once again. St. James' will get up to around 60,000 plus eventually before 2018 and that will be plenty good enough. For a fringe city (any northeast city involved in an England host situation) will see a limited amount of games and would not need to be anything near 70 or 80 thousand anyways. Just look at the current Euros, St. James' is as big as the venue for the final.
