    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?

    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.
    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).
    May well see you in that case @JamesSeed - sounds like you’re going to have an interesting time learning more about your grandad. Have a great time.

    To be fair Wiki says they’ve lost 21 players this summer.

    Plus half their new signings are Scottish so will probably be terrible.

    Must have had a shit team last season if they’ve brought that many players in. I’m surprised they weren’t relegated...

    the new manager is a novice scot with no experience in the EFL (few games as a player years ago) .. he'll be hoping to mould a side of ambitious young players into a winning outfit .. we'll put him right on that one next Saturday

    I don't know why some people think Sunderland will wallop us, we've let in 1 goal in 180 minutes against Championship sides

    I think it will be a cautious match, with out best chance being to keep things tight and try and nick a goal

    Yes, along with Palace and Cardiff. I borrowed the Tardis to find out :smile:

    Whichever period of time in the future I land the Tardis in, the takeover is always expected to be finalised in a couple of weeks...

    I'll have whatever you're drinking. Unless things change I predict we'll lose 4-0.

    Sunderland have a lot of new players that need time to get used to one another. A new manager who doesn’t know League One. A club of which has been on a horrific decline and spiral with double relegations. A home record which is worse than bad with only 6 wins in their last 42 games, scoring only 39 goals.

    We do have a small squad with lots of injuries, but we do have some very good players for this league and a defence that works together well.

    It’s going to be a tough game for us, for sure, but let’s be realistic, it is going to be just as hard for Sunderland.

    I bet they mention the play-off final, reflecting on happier times for both clubs.

    We are flying up from Southampton at 7am. As a Geordie going up to Sunderland will be traumatic so Charlton better win!!

    Does anyone know if you can pay on the day at Sunderland?

    I think Ross will do well at Sunderland - did a great job at St Mirren.

    Expect a comfortable 4-0 Sunderland win with a couple of goals gifted by miskicks from our keeper. CL won't go into meltdown as most people have given up.

    Probably as much chance “play on the day” if you turn up as well.

    Just don't go around flashing £20 notes, they're not used to such large sums of money up there

    Long shot I know but anyone on here know a good pub in the Devon/Somerset border area that will be showing the game ??

    Currently on holiday in N Devon & leaving saturday morning. Have to be out of property by 10 so gives us approx 2 hours driving time. Was initially thinking Taunton but may have time to get a bit further East.......planning on going home straight after the game via A303.

    cheers.....
