Unfortunate today, good performance but goal at stroke of half time changed it all. If we play like we did today we'll get that first win next week.

I'm driving up. Who's joining me?

x3 here going in the car. Can't decide whether to use the park and ride or get on the metro at the last stop (South Hylton) and into St Peters. The advantage of the metro is that i get on the A19 further down and avoid a lot of the traffic..i think.

Our usual numbers dwindled for this one for a variety of reasons - but I'll be there on the hunt for this away win

Two of us are going from Mildenhall Five Ways and Thetford by car. Box of Frogs have you purchased rail tickets already? If not, do you want a lift?

Yeah, going home to Edinburgh afterwards so got a return ticket as I'm coming back down on Monday. Thanks for the offer though!

New bridge being built in Sunderland means that the approach to the city is significantly compromised. I'd highly recommend avoiding driving all the way in. Park elsewhere and get a metro from nearby instead.

It has been said it is impossible to get away tickets due to how unfair the system is.

3 from North Yorks. The queue for the park and ride post match is horrendous. Which is one of the reasons the SOL always empties so early before the match finishes.

As above, Park and Ride 2 years ago was horrendous. Stood for an hour in freezing conditions waiting for a bus. Parking up somewhere out Roker area and walking to nearest metro station this time.

Sunderland aren't any good, a realistic chance of a win and should we do so we'll be on the brink of survival. I'd say that's a couple of great reasons to go.

Agreed Ashington, this is why it is so good to be in the PL, great to drink and chat with Clarets in and around Newcastle station.

Seeing as this game is the last one in a string of 4 away games on the trot and we've taken around 7500 in total to the previous 3, I'd consider anything around a following of 2500 to be excellent! UTC

Whalley clarets are going and unusually we have a driver. For the first time since West Ham I fancy our chances. So what do I know

Tip for anyone going on the train who's not advance booked - split your tickets at York and go up on the Yarm line

Although we don't release allocations now, generally if we had 700 how many have we sold?

In the days we knew of numbers would we have 3000 tickets available?

The usual allocation is 3000, so we'd sold 2300 and will probably end up close the selling out.

Just working out my route now. Is St Peters metro the right choice getting to stadium and avoiding a bit of after match traffic?
