Today's cup draw

A bloke on Saintsweb reckons it'll only be 15 quid for adults which would be a right result if true.

[OhWell]

Three trips to Sunderland and yet another one on live TV, with the kick-off time changed. Well that will reduce our away support for this one as well.

I've got BT Sport so I will be one of the fans not going now, as with the early kick-off, it would mean staying in Sunderland the night before.

I wouldn't bother taking time from work to crawl up in traffic on a Friday.

With a clear run on Saturday morning, I'd guess door to door would be about 5 hours tops, maybe 5 and a bit allowing for a 'comfort break' en route, so not that bad..

Since I'm normally up at sparrow's fart anyway, the earlier KO probably suits me better..

[chiswickmart]

12.45 KO.

Jings, what time are we going to leave?!?

Probably looking at being fueled up and on the road by 5:00 / 5:15 - that should give us time for a couple of quiet ones before the game..[/quote]

I wouldn't expect petrol money fom Pents, or even a couple of beers. He doesn't pay for transport!!

[Pentridge]

I only bump the rattler.

ATAF.

[Pentridge]

This game is officially a goer at my end, so sign me up for 10 hours stuck in a car with Weasel's noxious, toxic emissions.




On second thoughts...

5 hours is quite doable if you get lucky with traffic, which you should. Years back I used to knock about with a sort from just outside Boro. Driving non-stop I did that in 4 hours straight a good few times, Mackem land is only a little way further up the road.

[PapaLazarou]

Trust me, I'll be doing my level best to nail it in as little over 4 hours as possible..

Back in the day, I used to travel up to Tyneside & Teesside maybe once or twice a week and I'd have been well miffed if either took me longer than 5 hours - and that was driving a ratty little diesel. Like yourself, a whisker over 4 hours was about as good as it got - usually meant a 4am start, mind..

Can't say that I particularly miss those days..

He wasn't wrong...

Depending on my circumstance, I may drive for the Sunderland game. We might pass bill on his way back from Morecombe - if he bothered going to games, either home or away

I think Bill had to sign the register that week,so I doubt very much he made it to Morecum.
