gonna put it to the lads, going round a pals for a poker night on the saturday (usually get very messy) then up and out for the day (more mess)
I'll be watching it down one of my locals, in the minority as per(Mag landlord, mag pub). My other local round the corner is a Sunderland pub but f** it, I always watch it in the lions den. f** em It's is my local though so it's all just banter.
Aye, after having a word with our youngen I've had a change of heart. Down the town, cheaper beer and usually better atmosphere, sore heeds all round.
Love this, all clubs should do it, hopefully we do it now we have a screen. I like how they have something for everyone, 8 quid for a drink and a breakfast roll, aswell as watching the game in the stadium, is very fair. Often with things like this the pricing can start at 15+
I'm still trying like hell to get hold of a ticket for the game, but if not I will take one of these offers up..
good luck with that matey, like rocking horse poop, i've seen people selling them for £500 on match day
I know mate...I'm relying on something coming up for one of my mates who have them that means they can't go...
I always do my utmost mate, I work as hard to get other people sorted as I do for myself. I was almost in tears when I got those 2, that'll be 3 away derbies in a row for me, I love those convoys If I can spring any more I'll let you know
Raw 1st me 2nd, not holding my breath, havnt been to the death star since playoffs 1990 coz my mam wouldnt let me
There's an outside chance I have a spare WMS, if I do it's yours. One of the lads is 50/50 due to work and to be fair all my pals who go religiously are already sorted. Like I say, 50/50 should know by next week, if you get one from elsewhere take it.
