Who's going & how much is it ganna cost?

I expect most of you on here will be sniffin E and skipping about with flowers in your hair on the big day, but I wont be.
I'll be sitting half way up the Leazes with only a cup of Bovril for company watching European footy. How much will it cost to get in I wonder? I think the club should employ the stinking mackum approach and let everyone in for a fiver - after all were playing a shite team when stacks are away on their holidays. Can't see Fatty and Brainy going for that one but. I think it'll cost the same as the Wothless last season - £16.
I might have a shandy at lunchtime to join in the party atmosphere in the party city.

If we kick up a fuss then they might give us a cheap game to take the bairns to . Perhaps MacBeth can use his influence?

Are you talking about the derby game? I thought it was later on in the season.

I'm considering making the trip up....

Can't wait meself. In fact, if we are playing the away leg in Belgium, I may treat myself to a trip over there. Don't fancy Poland - downtrodden, depressed, dirty - bit too much like Sunderland for my taste :)

I too am working on a scam to make Belgium, an hour from Amsterdam or summat innit. It's looking dodgy, I feel a trip to the 3 piece shop coming on or kitchen table shop or whatever it takes. Poland is not out of the question but then again it sounds cold.

Dougal - as someone in the legal profession I should have thought that you would be more aware of the libel laws. I imagine you will be hearing from a Polish law firm in the very near future about this appalling attack on the nation. Downtrodden, depressed, dirty it may well be, but Sunderland? I'm sure the Poles can't have been so outraged since 1939. :-)

Why? Who did they play in '39, Jonno?

lost in the first round of the Champions League, as per usual very efficient German team beat them at home in first leg, Poles decided not to even turn up for the return. Germans looked favourites for the competition for a long time but eventually went out to Russian champions who had looked buried before the winter shutdown.

I seem to recall the old man telling me that particular German team were full of panzies needing to be constantly supported up by Messrs. Schmidt & Stukke. That be them macbeth?

English came through but had but in foriegn players, would have been triumphant earlier but had great problems getting work permits, would have thought they'd have learned the previous time

It was the German threat in the air that did for the Poles. The Poles tried to play it on the ground but the Germans just went over the top and did for 'em. That German team could had won big time but in the end they got bogged down in a very heavy fixture list and just had their playing resources stretched too far.

The game was a complete farce. The German fans had invaded the Polish pitch before the kick off and the antiquated crowd control measures consisting of men on horses were no match. The German team scored a number of impressive away victories early in the tournament and looked like runaway victors but as pointed out earlier they were held back by a congested fixture list, and were forced to play in atrocious conditions in Russia where many said that an early pitch inspection would have resulted in the game never having been started.

The away defeat in Russia seemed to turn the tournament around completely and when the Russians arrived in Berlin for the return leg the German manager shot himself rather than see his much depleted and injury hit squad slaughtered.

The British team played well after a feeble start in France, although much of their game consisted solely of aerial bombardment, until late in the match when they discovered that they were quite good with the action on the deck as well. They might have reached the Berlin final instead of the Russians had it not been for an over defensive approach in the early stages and a tour of the Far East which drained a lot of strength from the squad at a crucial time in the season.
