I’m a 52-year-old Sunderland fan who moved to Norwich in 1986. Although always passionate about SAFC, this season has really got me excited! If Maja goes, so be it, I actually trust the club to do the right thing and bring in people who care, which brings me onto Luke O'Nien.
Can he please marry my daughter! Not only is he a good-looking bloke, who happens to be very good at football, he is a lovely human being who epitomizes everything that is right about our wonderful football club. Who wouldn't want him as a son-in-law?!
Promotion would be great this season, but if it doesn't happen, let's all be sensible and appreciate what we've had this season, a full ground, phenomenal away support, a team that puts in 100% every week and owners that we can engage with. We could have been bust and in administration, but thanks to Ellis Short, he took a big hit for the good of the club, so although he made mistakes in executive appointments, he ultimately did the right thing in the end. Look at what fun we are having now! Just go ahead and enjoy it.

At the back end of the 1980s, football fanzines began to sweep the country and in 1989 we were presented with a new vehicle on which to enjoy some of this ride – A Love Supreme. ALS was a place we could all go to celebrate and commiserate being a Sunderland fan. Win, lose or draw, the pages of the fanzine became solace for many of us as we stumbled our way through our day to day lives, punctuated by the ups and downs of more match days than any of us care to remember.
