I'm off to the pub now. Buses leave from Peterlee at ten. Black and white, red and white, enjoy the game, but be safe. Howay the lads.
Come on lads plenty of passion without the idiots spoiling it. Just dispatched the wife and kids to the in-laws. Got me a full English on the go, quick shower, get me favourite shirt on and settle down for ESPN. Sorted.
Gutted I'm not stewarding today, fit as a fiddle for about two months straight and NOW I catch a bug! Bloody typical! There will always be idiots who will try and spoil today and make it something it is not but we all know between us there are thousands upon thousands of people who will show the rest of the country that this is the best derby around. Win lose or draw it'll be a fantastic event! ....unless we lose.
