I don’t know if this helps but I met some Sunderland supporters at the Sussex v Durham cricket match today. They told me that with Grand Central Rail you can get a day return direct that gets you there in time for the game for £70.

Supporting Sunderland and Durham must be pretty grim, considering the disastrous last couple of years for both clubs.

Living there cannot do wonders for their mood either, if you live in Sunderland. Durham is very nice.

There’s no doubt they’ll finish above us , no matter what shit state of a club they are , we are top trumps in the wankiest club stakes

Coming down from Sunny Glasgow straight from Work on Friday, staying in Newcastle. Bringing two Sweaty's with with me. The one benefit for getting to some Charlton games is train fairs to Northern games are cheaper than coming from London, paid around £22 return.

£36 return there and back on the Saturday for me, c'mon the sweaty addicks

Struggling to get there so will just have to watch this on the telly...

Already got my hotel and train tickets booked, just need to get the match tickets now.

Hopefully they go on sale soon as it’s only around 3 weeks away now. Any idea how they will go on sale too, I am guessing ST holders and Valley Gold first but should reach general sale no worries... right?

There will be about 20,000 empty seats. I think you'll get in. I must admit I've changed my mind & reckon we'll only take about 500.

i hope so as im on the 7.30 out of kings cross meaning a 6.03 from barnehurst quick dump off bags in toon then metro or train to sunderland ( any lifers with a bit better info on whats best would be welcomed ) after the match quick shower and then have a night out in newcastle, havent done a stopover since THAT game against sheffield utd.

I am heading up on the Friday and back on the Saturday due to working on the Sunday morning.

Train up from Kings Cross early afternoon, and train back from Sunderland around 5:30, having some food after the game has finished, watch the scores come in of the rest and train down.

Looks as though they have a shopping centre right next to Sunderland station so that could be handy.

New owner - 1500, maybe a few more

Old owner - 650 or less. Everyone in the stadium gets a row to themselves, and we can all sit in silence marveling at the fact that over 77,000 fans from these two clubs once shared a stadium.

1500 you having a laugh

any idea when tickets go on sale for this one imagine will be a huge allocation which we wont need

Live on tv and the entire country has spent all their money getting pissed during the world cup so i'd be amazed if we take more than 500.

possibly i have only ventured out for the england games.

cheers @Lincsaddick do you have any idea how long duration of journey is from central to st peters ( footballgroundguide says this is best for away fans, but after match have to use stadium of light to get back into newcastle )

according to the timetable from Central Station to St Peters is 26 minutes .. I'd add a bit for crowds/congestion etc

I'm on the same train back @Sage , and also going up on Friday, but to stay with the great nephew of a good friend of Jimmy Seed's, who's going to show me around Whitburn, JS's home town (on Saturday morning).
