Sunderland - Saturday 16th September 2006 - Championship

[bocadillo]

Us London Brancher's went to a great pub on the river last time ( opposite bank to the stadium )

Last time we went to Sunderland, the London Branch decided to quench their thirsts in Newcastle and then take the Metro down to the station right near the ground.

:icon_lol: One of us must be right!

If you think the birds in Whitley Bay are rough, pay a visit to South Shields whilst you are there

You get a great curry in South Shields.

Wasn't that the year before?

I think the truth is that we split up.. Wasn't your 'pub near the river' nearer the old Roker ground? I know that some wrnt to that pub up the hill in Newcastle because I met my ticket there.

I think you may be right. Are you travelling up with us to WBA, Boc?

Two hours to get from Gateshead to Sunderland? Webbo could manage it on his hands and knees in that time!!

It takes two hours as I live in the middle of nowhere in west gateshead, its 20 miles from my house to sunderland....a bit of a hike in car never mind public transport.
the william jameson one is wetherspoons yeah.

Run me through this 'allowed it' scenario.... :icon_lol:

Cate probably plays the same tactics as Mrs Boc - and encourages him in his waywardness, in the hope that he stays there for ever.

The London Branch will be having a pre-match wake at the Saltgrass, Hanover Place, Deptford, SR4 6BY. Nearest Metro - Millfield.

It's not that much of a walk along the river to the bridge, boc.

Is there a riverside walk? If not, it looks as though it just over a mile to the bridge. From pub to ground looks as though it will take a good 30-35 minutes.

There is a riverside walk, having walked it last year, I'm pretty sure I'm right!
