I’ve got a few mates who are Villa fans ( I used to work down there) They love it up here. Always stop the night and are hoping it’s a Saturday match next season. One of their mates drove up and was laughing. Said he asked someone where away fans pub was and bloke looked at him as if he was daft. Just said go where you want.imagine how much it costs the local economy.. not just pubs, but food outlets, hotels, taxis etc... that people would use if they were allowed to stay around the place. its tragic
i noticed loads of nottm forest fans around the town last friday, the longer we stay in the prem, the more likely it is that returning away fans will chose to stay in the city
i know i'm biased but i've been to 80+ away grounds in every corner of the country and sunderland must be one of the very best for visiting fans - train station right in the middle of town, stadium in the middle of town, endless pubs and restaurants in 5 mins walk in either direction, friendly locals, riverside, beach, relatively cheap.
places like wolverhampton are missing a trick with this 'no away fans' shite
I remember it being lively in a pub near Wolves ground years ago. The Goalpost I think it was @Keith S30S
