Black Cats help Championship teams find new away ground
After years of living in the shadow of their Tyneside rivals, Sunderland fans have been putting their sign making skills to good use, by rubbing the downfall of Newcastle into the tear-stained faces of the Toon Army.

Even Middlesbrough were unable to escape the sharp wit of Sunderland’s finest sign artisans…

“But it’s hard to find anything very funny at the moment if you’re a Newcastle fan.”
