If memory serves I think Ross Wallace scored for us mate, so it's definitely going back a fair while!
Wise man? You going to put the pre season fixtures for both squads as they're announced in the transfer sticky thread for reference?
Scary how quickly time flies mate! Think I was still drinking cider illegally down the park back in them days haha.
@SAFCsource Sunderland have a pre-season friendly against Boston United lined up (likely to be the development squad). http://bit.ly/1hxviEY ‪#‎SAFC
Nice little tour on south coast for me. Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton and finish at bournemouth. Think it would make a nice change for those supporters living down south.

Pele's son Edinho sentenced for money laundering Jun 01, 2014 | AFP | Sao Paulo A Brazilian court has sentenced football legend Pele's son Edinho to 33 years in prison for laundering money for drug traffickers, media reports said Saturday. Edson Cholbi Nascimento, nicknamed Edinho, denies the charges in the case, which dates from 2005, and will be allowed to remain free pending appeal, said CBN radio and news site G1. The Praia Grande criminal court in Sao Paulo also sentenced three other defendants to 33 years and ordered the confiscation of all property seized in the police operation against them, including about 100 cars. Edinho, 43, is accused of ties with a drug cartel led by Ronaldo "Naldinho" Duarte Barsotti. But though he admits buying drugs from the cartel, he denies working with them. Edinho had a relatively low-key career in the 1990s playing for Santos, the same club where his father shot to fame. Pele - full name Edson Arantes do Nascimento - has seven children. Considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time, he won three World Cups with Brazil, in 1958, 1962 Well
We've decided to go on the train this time, the drive from Mansfield is a balls ache tbh. We're looking at the Settle to Carlisle train, over the Ribble valley viaduct, after getting the service train to Settle. I'm probably booking the Cherry Grove Guest House on Petteril Street which is about 10 minutes walk from the ground. We stayed there after the FA Cup match years back and the breakfast was canny There's a pub called the Beehive but it tends to get some ultra-woolybacks in it ....... good for a laugh though.
