Sunderland v Brighton

[chips and gravy]

Looking ahead to October, I thought this would be a good away trip. Big stadium, easy to get tickets etc. Thought I had found the ideal way to get there when I noticed that FlyBe are starting a service from Southampton to Newcastle. However, when I check I found that the service starts the day after the match. GRRRR

Making a weekend of it. Fly to Newcastle on the Friday, get a B&B, get on the lash.
Match day, Metro goes to Sunderland, back to the Toon after, on the lash again, fly home Sunday.

It's gonna be the bollox!

Ditto! Can't wait. Should be in Newcastle for 1pm on the Friday

Yep, I was quite excited as Soton Airport is 10 mins drive from my front door (or 10 min train ride). I couldn't beleive how unlucky that is. We can fly back that day for 95p. Just have to get there 1st!

Newcastle is a quality night out, I can't fookin wait.

Fancy having a "Brighton" pub we could all meet up in for a pint on the Friday night?

Good idea. My mate co-owns a bar in The Gate complex. Apparently, it's where all the Newcastle players go.

i.e. it'll be wall-to-wall flange!

 

[Notters]

Which airline can you get gatwick/sunderland with?

 

[chips and gravy]

BA fly from Gatwick to Newcastle. You can fly out for £16 and return on Monday for £16 + taxes

Clacker! What a brilliant word.

Aye, agree about that fuckwit on BB. What a t-wat.

Last time I was in Newcastle the poontang was of the very highest standard, even if I couldn't understand a word any of 'em was saying, like.

My mate's bar is 'Bar Beyond', at the very front of The Gate on the right hand side.

Should be a large BHAlba presence at the the Estadio da Luz.

Should be a short trip for you, compared with most weeks!

As promised I am making a list of friendly watering holes in the Newcastle/South Shields/Sunderland triangle. Also a list of those to avoid in the city itself – particularly any in the East End and Hendon. Just had our fourth murder in Hendon alone in the past 20 months! There have been various other mindless attacks including a BBC journalist Russ Ward who was beaten and left for dead .. he spent weeks in Intensive Care.
But outside the East End – and particularly around Roker and Seaburn there are some brilliant pubs. South Shields also has some great pubs, clubs and entertainment. It’s a strange place because half the population are Newcastle supporters and half are Sunderland. Therefore you get the black and white and red and white mixing freely and there is a great deal of tolerance. I wear my Brighton tops in town regularly.
Finally there are quite a few members of Ready to Go (Sunderland’s NSC equivalent) who are ready to welcome us!

We had a night out in Newcastle last year after the Boro game,and in one pub near to the City centre it was Buy one get one free

I'll be going. But then it only takes an hour and a half on the train from my place.

Russ Ward (the BBC guy who was beaten up) is a top bloke... I've met him a couple of times... the latest from the BBC grapevine is that he's slowly recovering.
