So, we are odds on to get a second relegation in a row, I honestly can't see how it can be stopped.
On getting home tonight, I inform my lads (13 & 8), I've got tickets in the away end v Bolton (20th Feb) at the Macron.
They are hyper, already discussing which Sunderland top they will wear etc.....imagine if we score in the last minute to win? It'll be class, Sunderland fans are crazy? Etc etc. It's the excitement I used to feel when my dad told me we were going to Roker Park...it doesn't go away.
My mate and his kid (blues fans) are also attending for the first time with us (well why would they watch us haha?)
Poor buggers, wish the team was better for them, although I can't help but have a tinge of pride that they are still loyal to an apocalyptic cause.... especially as the eldest was 1 when we moved away, and the youngest was born in Stockport....
Come on team....give the lads, and I, a little bit of hope to hang on to.... in the meantime lads....keep hoping and dreaming for that miracle on the 20th Feb :-)
