Jesmond before the game, Newcastle after. For the seafarers amongst us a stop for a pint or a curry in South Shields perhaps to remember the old days ...

It really isn't. If I had to pick a city to compare it to I would actually go for Plymouth. The 'City of Sunderland' as it's called, like all city's has some rough areas. The area are the ground isn't a great part of the city, but it's a lot better than the area around the old Roker Park ground, but there are some areas around the city too.Emu":3mrn0hyv said:football-bet-data":3mrn0hyv said:Why on earth would anyone stay in Sunderland when Newcastle is just 20 minutes away ??
Beat me to it!
Sunderland is a shLthole which is on a par with Burnley.
It is a Cup Final in our house as Mrs C is hoping that her suffering has bottomed out.Balham_Green":1boeh6xx said:JimC":1boeh6xx said:FFS...its in march, and it's just a league game against another team who are in this division on merit, not the cup final.
Exactly. Seems a trip to Sunderland is some people's idea of a good time!

That is what away fans do when they play at Argyle. They stay in Exeter or Torbay!
.As someone who lives up here the comments about Sunderland are very misplaced. It has good beaches a fantastic Airshow in July which attracts over a million. It has some not so good areas and some very affluent areas. Very similar to Plymouth in that respect. I was born at Flete House near Ermington used to live in the South Hams, worked in Plymouth for 25 years. I was down for 5 weeks recently and could slot back easily but happen to live about 10 miles from Sunderland and find it quite good for entertainment etc.

Good beaches and an air show? Doesn't really sell it for me. See the forecast today is 16 c in middle of a heatwave!
