Same 5 or 6 of us been going for last 30 years, the match is just (usually shit) distraction from a couple of hours drinking either side. I know for a fact there’s plenty of Sunderland fans who wouldn’t bother if it wasn’t for the social side. Suppose we could just stay in the pub and ditch the match.Bit wish washy that like. Walk away and start following Blyth or Gateshead or Whitley Bay or whoever. Think of the money you’ll save. You can always gan back once the Saudis have fucked off……I mean that 250,000 seater stadium will still need filling once you’re back to being a yo-yo club and those CL titles are fading from memory.
