To each his own, but I couldn't imagine taking my kids all that way and then not being able to get them into the stadium.

That was exactly my thoughts
Seems cruel to take them to the fan zone before the match , surrounded by match going fans, and then just before kick off drag them away from the stadium to a pub
It’s Christmas lads. He’s also going to see family. This has nothing to do with whether he can get tickets or not. He can do that another time, he’s allowed into Sunderland more than once. He just wants to know what to do on this particular occasion as he’s travelling anyway. Can’t see why this has turned into an argument.

Might just want to have a look-see around the stadium tbh. He's probably not going to get tickets like.

Walk along the pier to the lighthouse at roker to start the day then breakfast in the roker hotel overlooking the beach.
Then like others have said to the fan museum and loop over old bridge walking over new footbridge with the thousands heading to the stadium in front of you. Have a great day

Aye, as a kid you'd half think your dad's just been joking about not going and he's going to pull tickets out when you get there if you're walking up to the ground! Even the suggestion of going to the sea front might not be great depending on weather.
If it had to be the Leeds game I'd probably just say go to the city centre, maybe take the bairns bowling and stuff, possibly call in at the fans museum. Maybe go to Roker to watch the match if the weather is okay so they can see the coastline. But aye, if flexible on the date something like palace or Brighton you'd probably get 3 together on resale, maybe even on general sale. Especially for Brighton because I'm guessing they won't take the full away allocation. Ideal one would be Burnley now it's a Monday night, but appreciate can't really do that with kids in school

I know man. Everything has to be something, instead of just being the thing.
Or something.
It’s a day out. Better than sitting at home. Also not cruel if they know exactly what you’re gonna be doing. Just don’t say “we’re going to the match” then take them to a pub!!
Gotta understand, just being in amongst it will be a buzz for people who aren’t used to it and don’t get to experience it often, if ever. Then bring them back for a match in the new year.

Oh aye if he's gonna be in Sunderland anyway, then it'll be a bit of crack going to see the crowds , the pubs , the fans museum, beacon etc... but I wouldn't go out of my way to take kids for a day out like that without adding in going to the actual match
Bear in mind though they’re not from round here. Being in Sunderland alone will be great for them.
I know, deluded rtg will be all over this.

Like a say if they are here anyway then fair enough. But if they are driving to Cumbria from Surrey I wouldn't be making a detour for it. Personally
I’m actually thinking I should get social services involved at this point.Funny as fukk, fella only wanted to find out what to do now he’s bending bashes for leading his kids in and being a shit dad for teasing them

Are you stuck on the Leeds match? There’s restrictions on this one without purchase history. You can snag tickets for other matches through resale.

If only we could run like a family friendly club and people who aren’t around could sort the fella and his lads some tickets.
Society is fucked because we go the long way round to stop touts.

I'll try and do that as well - but will be up anyhow visiting my parents
One son plays rugby on a Saturday and the other football on a Sunday, so with that and work the logistics aren't easy. Just sods law that it's Leeds over Christmas and tickets are restricted.
Hopefully I'll find another opportunity
I never said It was a good parent

Seriously thinking of making the trip up before the season ends.
It would though mean missing a Swindon game.
