The 4-1 at their place is also not the game where Shearer was bandaged up. That was 2-0 at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably that’s the ‘Black Cat Bar’ hospitality area that we’ve been given as part of the away end (at £500+VAT) Assume it’s similar to Wings or whatever at SJP, so it seems they are covering the Sunderland decor with Newcastle decor for the day. In fairness, if the roles were reversed I’m sure we’d be up in arms too, but as it’s them and not us, funny innit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Has the ref been announced yet? I fear that without VAR this could be as big of a factor as the team we are able to put out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref'd the Merseyside derby in October. Really hope he ignores the derby aspect of the game and gives card accordingly, cant let them drag us down to their level with bad tackles etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I’m glad we’ve got a fairly established PL ref, as opposed to some random from the Championship who’s never had a game of this magnitude.

Maybe add 400 taking the piss out of the mackems tax it might be worth it. I dont think it is what could be described as corporate, more like a concourse with more space (brother in law is a mackem who sits there is my source) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as always, if it’s some folks only way of getting a ticket, they will pay it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but given the fans in there will be (or should be) corporate clients only, and are shelling out over £500 for the privilege, there’s probably going to be a limited number of knackers. *I am aware having a few quid doesn’t preclude you from being a knacker, but Billy from Byker that has 12 pints and 3 lines before every game, is unlikely to be in there.
