NUFC have shut down the online box office for a little while, it may look as though this game is now a sell out.

The roads were alright today to be honest. Yes but the snow fall is expected to be be tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night. I'm sure tonights snow, and most of tomorrow's will of melted just by people passing by, and using the roads and paths, it's the snow later on tomorrow and tomorrow night that is the worry, don't forget that it's a 1pm kickoff, so looking at that, the snow needs to be reasonably clear by 9am on Sunday morning. I have no concerns about the pitch though, the covers should be on and the undersoil heating aswell, I'd be surprised if it was called of because of the pitch. Aye but I'm saying bit of grit down tonight, bit more tomorrow, and with it being weekend before Christmas there'll be loads of foot traffic getting rid of the pavement on the snow, and buses/cars helping clear the roads. Hopefully, I was their that time the charlton game was called off, and coming in from North Tyneside all the roads and path's were clear because the gritters had been out, then I crossed over into the area run by NCC and their had been little or no gritters sent out, so the city centre was frozen, and the game was called off, despite it taking me an hour to get to the stadium.

If this was on Smogside, then it would be called off, I mean Boro do it everytime they have a hard game, plenty of injuries etc and their is even a hint of snow on the ground. Hopefully NCC workers will be out gritting the roads and paths tonight and tomorrow.

Level 7 is now sold out, I've just been to get my ticket, and their was none left for level 7.

Derby, Leicester, and Hull. Portsmouth withdrew a couple of weeks ago.

Another block on level 7 has sold out.

The east stand will never be able to go above it's current height, but their maybe a way to bring it down, rebuild it and change the layout so that more seats could be put in, but that would very unlikely be finicially viable. The Gallowgate can be extended, with modern engineering and such now it is possible, an extension of the Gallowgate alone would take capacity to between 60,000-62,000. It should also be worth noting that Fat Fred wanted to increase capacity similar to this just before Mike Ashley came to the club, then Mike Ashley also had plans to aswell, even releasing renders, and also the Singapore group who wanted to buy us last summer said that they too would increase capacity to atleast 60,000 if their bid was successful.

Very bad news, just hope that being put into administration will find them a buyer who can take them out of it, put money in and within a few years back challenging for promotion. No set of fans deserve to lose their football club.

Forgetting the fact that Harewood scored 2 goals in the last game he started, against an oppositition in a similar position to Boro.

Ameobi and Harewood for me.

I heard "Sweet home Albania" is set to be number one in Sunderland this xmas.

At a quick look at the seating plans, I guess that their is between 1,500-2,000 seats left for the game.

So does anyone know how many tickets have been sold, I can't get any of my firends to go because they are all at work, so I think I may just go by myself, get up early and into level 7 to save myself £10 to sit lower down maybe in order though.

It's not a city, doesnt have a proper catherdral Not sure what your point is. It's clearly a city. As much as mackems (the footballer supporters) are deluded idiots, mackems the people are good, NE folk like the rest of us. Maybe yes, but they are still not a proper city, They won it in a lottery for the queens golden jubilee Thought it was more of a competition than a lottery? Anyway, if I win a million pounds in the lottery am I 'not really' a millionaire? Well, isnt the classic definition of "millionaire" someone with an annual income of £1mil? if so, then no point is correct though Not really, if you win enough, put it in a high interest account, you could earn over £1m a year on the interest of the win.

Lets not forget that some stadia and maybe some cities will be chucked out if the bid is accpeted, though I do feel both of our cities should be safe from the axe.

In what competition ? Conference Premier not shown on Sky's Score Centre (web) Also, try and catch the Hereford v MK Dons goals on SSN. One of the funniest own goals I have seen in years by Hereford I'm not sure, was going along the SSN ticker bar.

Gateshead won 2-0 by the way.

Rangers win 3-0 and go top of the league, 2 points clear of Celtic, and the scum lose.

I really don't want to see West Ham do well, but I want to see Bolton do badly even more so, but I want Wolves to do well for some reason, so a draw will be good here.

Here is one: Who thought having rival stadium no less then 20 yards away from each other across the road? (see Dundee, and Dens Road)

Rangers 3-0 up.

The the scums attendence tonight? That's correct. Not a great one for the Geordie-Mackem points scoring thing but that's an appalling attendance. Nor I am I, well unless it's us doing it to them . But yes, that is poor, no it's on TV or it's not a big team excuse either.

Carlisle 3 up, that means they get to the Northern final of the JLP against Leeds.

2 more defeats.
