I last went to Wenesday when we won 4-2 under Keane. Sat in the home end with my Wednesday supporting mate, 2 other Sunderland fans (my cousin and his mate) and another mate who lived in Sheffield and was a Man Utd fan. We had a day and night of it and crashed at his house. Anyway we were 3-0 up and coasting so had no need to celebrate but then Wednesday scored 2 late goals and the crowd were going mental. We then scored our 4th and we must have done something as some fans behind started tapping us on shoulders and asking what the time was trying to get us to talk. I'm ok as I've been out of the North East since 1990 but my cousin and his mate are as broad as they come. Anyhow after a bit of shrugging their shoulders suddenly one lad shouts "these are all Sunderland". Next minute all things pelted at us as we tried to leave swiftly. And the only one of us to get hit? The Man Utd fan. Would love to go back in the away end as the atmosphere was brilliant.
Incredible support from us. I reckon we'd have sold twice the amount of tickets for Rotherham .... .... I have had dozens of people asking. I think QPR will be shocked at our support fora night match. Should be a great atmosphere under lights whether we win or not, people are just enjoying the crack after years of shyte. I've booked an 'in case I don't fancy the drive home' Booking.com place just is case we win and I need a few pints ... ... £15 in a shared dorm with 9 single beds. I hope no one spikes my drink
