Mine!! 40th in January so was awaiting the fixtures as am thinking of booking one of those match day packages including some food, ale, programme etc and take my little lad (4 years old - he has been shielded long enough) and taking my family in the North east to celebrate with me. Looking at home game in December or January. Does anyone have any experience of these packages (Sports bar etc) and have any recommendations? Any advice gratefully received.
Aye mate my dad organised it for boxing day, the sit down suited up meal v blackburn, was class, nice meal, programme & key ring (i still have it on my car key) got well oiled, they take your order for half time so your drink is there with snacks, same after then quinny spoke and motm is announced, few players came in to do autographs then into the blackcats bar, great experience. Also done the boxes a few times with our lasses work, free bar happy days
Cheers mate. Sounds good. Take it the players only turn up in the 'suited up' areas and not the sports bar/quinn bar areas?
A few came into the bar for an orange juice, it was mainly the hangers on, remember some twat getting his driving license out to proove he was a players brother (cant remember who) grandpops might recall when he is on later. When you book it you buy a bar tab, we went over it by £140, you settle it later by invoice, 4 of us £35 each for a cracking day/night, that was spent mainly in the bar afterwards mind, which is optional
I found it ok the SOL, My best mate was the news editor for Sun FM, when he got married. All the ****e at the glass centre (i even wore a ponsy ****ing suit), meal anD all the other expensive cack, then the do at the SOL. It was alreet, staff i found a bunch of ????????????? Mind it was a canny long time ago,
I bet most on here were taken as a young un by our dads or uncles and the family talk was always about Sunderland. My Uncle took me ROker Park Clock Stand with a box he made just for me when I was 5 and a bit. It's just like a marriage really, we still love our lasses, despite the endless years of misery they inflict upon us
Me dad took me to RP with the wood and rope seat/stand/stool whatever it was.. Hung the rope over the railings, me standing on the wood so a could see.
I used to stand on a emptied on the coach beer crate at portman rd, first at roker was in the family enclosure v afc bournmouth with me fatha
