How many of these long gone grounds have you been to?

i wished i'd travelled more.....not sure why i didn't bar the obvious lack of coin as a student. never mind, plenty more grounds to try and get to before i kop it! looking forward to tomorrow....time to man up, squad and fans alike, so hoping it will be electric down the east end.

 

I think we all know it's '**** or bust' time mate ....... Sunderland supporters are great in these situations so I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Hope you sing all the way home

 

16 not bad as i was self employed most of my working in retail so mostly mid week games. ps 3 points tomorrow.

 

!7 in total quite surprised although Halifaxes ground is not on the shay it was just basically a quarry with a pitch in the bottom.

 

Leeds road Huddersfield was my first ever away game
I think ashurst was our manager then

 

yep, been to a few crunch fixtures and we never fail off the pitch. here's hoping we help the lads do enough on it.
if it's a good day i normally lose my voice by about 7 due to my vocal efforts during the day.

Why what's happened?

 

Nowt mate, it's still going, i believe, just i miss it, good scran, with a superb view..

I will see it again, one day.

 

Sorry, I thought it'd closed!

We always go in there whenever we're up early enough or the day after the match if we stay overnight.

It's a treasure and I'd buy it to live in if they ever sold it
