Took the little one to Shildon for the Locomotive day, on the way back we stopped at Durham service station to get something to eat. It was full of Scandinavians, I can only assume they're heading to the Liverpool match.
The rise of North and South Shields probably hasn't helped either. That Gateshead Stadium 'deal' was a killer too. I can't think of anywhere else they could play their games near Gateshead though.
There's a Joey Barton documentary being filmed too. Damn what a time to be alive. Netflix giving us season 2 of the greatest comedy since The Office and hopefully footage of Barton laughing his arse off after defeating the mackems.
