the pub does get packed and pretty much as soon as singing starts the police make them stop serving, but theres an off license opposite the tube station round the corner. its mad, they only let you buy 2 cans at a time, but theres nothing stopping you leaving a mate outside, buying 2 cans to give to him, and going back in for another 2 and so on!

Last season me and my mates were buying 2, poping them in our pocket or bag then rejoining the queue !

Ah **** it, hope it's on I really do, but i'm using my non refundable train tickets and going for a drink in Preston anyway!

Snap - we are booked in the Preston travel lodge. Unless its called off before we leave at 12, a night on the pop in Preston it will be !

Just had a text from my mate that reads as follows :

'Iv just called blackburn customer services and they said the game should def go ahead unless there is a major storm but will 100% no by 5pm'

Now I dont know how accurate this is but its what he has been told. 5pm is no use to anyone though ! Looks like we are going to be starting out about 12 then baring any further official announcements.

Cheers southbirminghamvilla, decided against driving back so we have booked into the ETAP, like you said cheap as chips. So where is everyone going to be drinking before the game ?

Looking on the trainline it looks as though a train to the game is imposible to get back on ! Any ideas, im asuming the coach doeasnt get there early enough to take in some local pubs ? How early did the coaches get to Sunderland in the last round ? Sadly it might have to be a drive and not drink to this one !
