Come on you fuckers I'll drive you. I have an SUV so loads of room, it will be an exquisite indie fest and rock of musical delights and I drive terrifyingly quick. Be a riot.
Looking forward to it.Any pre-match drinking recommendations?I prefer a decent pub a bit away from the ground, quiet that does food (don't want much do I?)

Sunderland-Arsenal was next day so thought I'd pop along to that. Nice ground but Sunderland must be one of the worst town centres in the U.K, the big Poundland that had just opened was easily the most impressive shop on the high street.There's a few standard pubs around like Wetherspoons and Yates but they were mostly home fans. There was also a pub just off the ring road called the I.S.....It's better to drink in Newcastle and get the Metro to the ground. Takes 20 minutes from Newcastle central. Durham isn't too far away either if you have a car.

I generally prefer a stop off before reaching the ground/town. I'm not sure how I'm going yet and if it's on a coach then the decision will be taken from me. However, if it's by car then Durham is most likely.
