Probably get Hearts or St Pats narring my luck
I reckon Feyenoord away is one of the few places we wouldn't get any bother due to our SAFC connections but anywhere else and it would be mayhem.
There wasnt many. Most of them are dead now but I knew one bloke - john Musgrove (RIP) - who went and he reckoned that there was about 500 in the Nep stadium. He travelled by rail as he worked for BR.
surely the original bus isnt still going?
7000 at Juve v Man City the other night. Truth is the Europa League is not a money-maker at all. But prestige-wise of course it would be good for the club.
And it would get a monkey off our back.
It would interesting to see how many we would take to a game in Italy or Spain.
Anyone know anyone who went to Budapest or Lisbon in 1973?
I get the distinct impression, right or wrong, that the first game we play in Europe, competitively since 1974, would be an old timers reunion.
I reckon its an over 40's party with the hosts in for a bit of a shock.
Must say and personally I'd be over in a shot; chartered flight, no ticket and generally "enjoying" the hospitality.
Any thoughts on what it would be like - other than fecking mayhem?
I'd be flying from London (or a ferry from Dover if it's northern France/Benelux) so travel would be canny easy for me like. Think we need to get a couple of strong replacements in to cover the cracks that are starting to appear before I'd be confident of getting into Europe though.
I think John went to Lisbon as well. There is a picture in an SAFc book I have of about 50 or so flying from Newcastle.That was a great following for those days to Eastern Europe.
TBH who gives a flying fuck about loyalty points (dont take that personally marra). european and world travel is about going over by yourself and getting tickets there by hook or by crook.Every Sunderland fan I have ever met wants to go to our next European game. It will be mad. Hopefully it will be against a side with a decent size ground and my 40 loyalty points will be enough!!
Lets calm down lads, we could be in a relegation battle yet :roll::roll:
