Did anyone go to the Albion pub? I got there about 12ish, it was in the middle of a tower block council estate about a mile from the ground and was empty. Great. Thanks for that tip. We didn't hang around.
Forgot to mention, we had Harry Enfield on our carriage back to Kings Cross. Found him a lot funnier than his bloody screaming kids. Didn't help my hangover.
There are a lot of very strange people out there. I couldn't believe grown adults were acting this way in front of their own kids, AND millions of viewers. Very odd the lot of em.
Train ticket is Friday, coming back sunday. I think the time is flexi but not the days... cost £89.50. Haven't checked with GNER if this is refundable but don't think it is.
No problem skitz, I'd rather you enjoyed it mate and cheered on the boys then leave an empty seat. £10 done. Only problem is I live in London and am travelling on the 4:30 from Kings Cross tomorrow. Is there any way you can pick it up? Otherwise I'll meet you in the Albion pub pre-match.
I have a spare Sunderland ticket available. I know it's pay on the day, but if anyone wants it for less than face value let me know as it's no good to us.
