Finally, finally, FINALLY got to my first gig of the year! Mid-March ffs! Never waited this long to see a show (pandemics aside).
Plenty lined up for the rest of the year though.

£1 per week, in 1937, would have been 33% of a pit yacker's wage, here in Sunderland, back in 1937.
£60 a week, in today's money 😱

Opted to watch Hearts vs Rangers, in what might be a title deciding match. Jesus wept... 😶
I honestly think Shildon Town, currently top of the Northern Football League, would be in with a shout of winning the SPL title
Sunderland RCA, Seaham Red Star and Esh Winning would all be competing up there

Job done for #SAFC
Was always going to be a difficult game, given the conditions and being up against an opposition who were trying to kick the players into the car park.
Ref was poor
O'Nien/Mundle/Talbi/Bi all impressed
Oxford's keeper kept them in the game #OUFC
Mansfield at home next, please 🙏

I think people might be looking a bit too much into Speakman leaving. I doubt both would have clashed, especially given our position in the table and success in market. If they had, then one of them would have moved sooner.
I think the biggest shock would be the timing of the announcement tbh #SAFC

I know people don't like this stuff, but I had a lovely dream that we beat the Mags at their place, 1-0. Scored early on, and they had a goal chalked-off by VAR.

Post a banger not in English.
British band, and the original they do is in English, but their Gibraltan had them do a few tracks en Español.
Breed 77 are a massively underrated band from the early 00s - well worth checking out!

RIP George. I first met him about 25 years ago, back when the SAFCSA shop was open, near Tesco/Kwik Fit. I was just a kid, when I was buying/collecting the old match day programmes.
Passionate and knowledgeable about all things SAFC and the wider Sunderland area - he will be sorely missed ☹️

After 147 appearances and two promotions with Sunderland, Patrick Roberts has joined Birmingham City in a permanent transfer.

It hangs in the foyer of the Stadium of Light, and it's amazing how big it is.

We can today confirm the departure of long-serving midfielder Dan Neil.
Neil has joined Ipswich on loan until the end of the season, bringing his 18-year association with Sunderland to an end when his contract expires in June.
He lived the dream, and we all wish him well in his next chapter ❤️
