I would rather see the fixture scrapped completely than play sunder lands youth team with a few reserves thrown in. What are we going to learn about our squad if it goes ahead? At short notice I am sure we could hastily arrange a game, even against a championship standard full reserve side would be a better option and a sterner test. Diss appointed but no one will be interested in the Sunderland debacle any more


I do sympathise with your point, I am playing the devil's advocate really but wasn't this League 3 idea that we basically play exactly this sort of team several times a season? If Sunderland played their first team it would be Men v Boys. The main purpose of pre-season is to give both sides a competitive game. Many of Sunderland's reserves would probably walk straght into our team.

It was never going to be Sunderlands first team or anything approaching it. It's all about money in the Prem and they go on Far Eastern tours nowadays so they can sell a few shirts. Nothing in it financially for them to come here and that is the bottom line, more's the pity.

I think it was an agreement by Di Canio who obviously left the club but you'd have thought the details would have been between the respective chief executives so it's poor from Sunderland in my opinion. That said, it's not as if they have proper stars we're going to miss out on. I agree with the concensus, tell em to shove their youth team once we've something else in place.

We can play (and beat) their first team in the 3rd Rd Replay of the FA Cup after holding them to a 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light. Loads of money! Revenge will be sweet


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

Was before Di Canio. Martin O'Neill was manager at the time i think.

I knew this was the case the other day as a couple of Sunderland lads I work with told me they knew nothing about this game.
I think GTFC are probably aware of this but just don't want to publicise it so it dosnt effect the gate too much.
copulated if im going to watch a load of stiffs play

Think about it why would Sunderland send first team players to play a game at Grimsby at this stage of pre-season. It should always gave been billed as a Sunderland XI

Prices at £10 is ridiculous. The club really are out of touch. They haven't even done kids for a quid this pre season.
