I won’t be going tonight, I go to all the home matches, but I only go to one or two away games per season,because I can’t afford to go to any more. That said, I will be going on saturday, along with my two sons- we went to sunderland a couple of seasons ago and had a good craic. The sunderland fans were a really good bunch- apart from when we got talking to a bunch of them after the game in town and ended up with them,back in their local (we were pissed of course)… but not so pissed that we didn’t notice that the place seemed to be a shrine to 1973, bob stokoe et al, which, since we all still had latics shirts on, didn’t go down too brilliantly! I have never necked a pint as quick in my life! But they did leave us alone, I think they couldn’t decide if we were hard as nails or just plain stupid for coming into their local! Needless to say, we probably might give that place a swerve on saturday.
