For those of you looking for a cheaper train deal there is one ticket on sale priced at £42.00[£27.70] on the 11.27 to Sunderland arr 14.52, with returns priced at £28.50[£18.80] on the 12.18 dep from Sunderland. Frequent metro services run between Sunderland & Gateshead stadium. Premier inn Sunderland city centre £39.50 for one night. Railcard fares in brackets.
I was thinking “That’s proper Charlton” but then noticed you hadn’t put the train drivers’ names.
Anyone else think that’s got 2-0 to Gateshead written all over it?
I would have DJ on the first leg, then Gilbey to hand over to Davison before CBT brings home the Baton with the result that Cafc win in a photo finish.
Watson doesn't make the team !
We can put Adam Gemili in Ben Watson's shirt as a ringer
You will probably see more on the telly than at the stadium, although nothing beats being there. However this is definitely an exception in my opinion.
that just looks quite possibly the worst place to watch a game of football

Withdean Stadium, Brighton
ridiculous view from behind the goal at the Withdean (great bar though) ... but Gateshead looks even worse
Away fans are normally in the stand on the right, not behind a goal. Still has the running track between the stand and the pitch, but not as bad a view as you'd get from one of the ends.

When we went with Charlton, we were behind the goal.
They then brought on Josh Key for Sam Nombe at the start of extra time.
Under FA Cup rules this season clubs can bring on five players during a game, including extra time, with a sixth allowed for a concussion.
"A review is due to take place following last night's FA Cup game between Exeter City and Bradford City at St James Park," Exeter City said in a statement.
"The matter will be considered by an FA committee and is in reference to the number of substitutions allowed during the match.

1066 at Stamford Bridge was a bit of a battle, too.
AA, after Harold Godwinson my Anglo Saxon relative on my paternal side, defeated the Vikings under Harald Hardrada in the semi final of the Euros on 25th September 1066 at Stamford bridge "up North"; because of Engineering works his men had to march home some with athletes foot and the odd arm missing to prepare for the final at Senlac Hill, Battle, over the weekend of the 13/14 October against the Normans, under William the Bastard. The Normans had a bye in the semi final when the Romans didn't turn up because they were 600 years past their sell by date
Harold who had his EUFA pro licence liked to play narrow and defend and keep a high line. Now Billy the bastard liked to attack down the flanks, unfortunately for my team Anglo Saxon Rovers, some of his defenders had a brain freeze and chased down after Norman conquest United attackers who were in retreat but it was a trick and they were cut to ribbons. As you all know there were no Subs in those days, even Keith Peacock was still in the academy and the momentum swing was amazing and the rest is History.

Think he means away fans will be in the stand on the right at Gateshead.

Exeter could consider themselves very lucky... Sort of thing that clubs usually get kicked out of competitions for.
Exeter City manager Matt Taylor said he and his staff were told by the match officials that they could use a sixth substitute in extra time if all five changes had been made during the 90 minutes.
"We all thought we could use a sixth sub in extra time, we subsequently did so, but it turns out that decision was wrong and we shouldn't have been allowed to do that," Taylor told BBC Sport.
"Bradford tried to make a sixth substitution and that was turned down, so a strange chain of events occurred, and nobody knew what had happened until well after the game when it became apparent on the referee's team sheet."
"I should have done more due diligence as manager, it's my responsibility," he added.
"In the meetings with the officials before the game and during the game the information that was relayed to us was wrong, hence why I think we're still in the competition because we've not tried to cheat the system.
"It's an honest mistake and it's not just ourselves who've made that mistake, but we feel the brunt of that responsibility because it's ourselves who've ultimately been punished."
Bradford manager Derek Adams did not want to comment on the FA's decision to replay the game, but did confirm that the red card shown to striker Lee Angol during the match will stand.

I must move on, but for me it's too soon.

- One club allowed to make a sixth substitute, one club wasn't.
Imagine had Bradford been allowed to do similar, then there would be no need for a replay.
In addition, how can a red card stand when the game doesn't effectively exist anymore?
Or do red cards in cup games mean you can serve the suspensions in league games?
