    Over the rainbow bridge.....

    Sorry for your loss. My big lad went over the bridge Jan 2020. I still sit there thinking about his daft ways every day ( boxer). You will get round to just thinking about the great life you gave him. Not just yet , but in time. And I am sure Fergus will be waiting for you , just around the...

    camping on the stray redcar

    If you are at New Marske you can literally walk down the bank at get a train to Redcar from Long Beck. Maybe 7 minutes walk down the bank. ? Coming back should be easy enough getting a taxi to new marske. It’s only 3 mile. New Marske I wouldn’t bother with the Yorkshire Lass, be better off...

    Will they consider moving the final?

    Unfair on Sunderland, as they dont play with strikers. Head to head or fewest defeats, only fair way. Seriously though, I think the Wembley weekend will be a **** show if its Middlesbrough v Sunderland. No Trafalgar, no Covent Garden, no Borough Market. It wouldnt surprise me if there are...

    Will they consider moving the final?

    I think if Boro and Sunderland progress, then due to the difficulties on policing the event, the tie will be decided on head to head results from the season. Only fair way really.

    Championship games today.

    I would say you are correct due to Millwall Blackburn Coventry all playing each other. Take out WBA as perhaps being 5th, then I can’t see how 2 of the 3 above can hit 75 points, which with your goal difference is what they would need. I could be wrong though, but for me 74 with a plus 28 GD...

    Championship: Boro Average Home[4th] - Away[8th] - Overall[4th] - Attendances 22/23

    You are right , there isn’t on the away chart. In the old days Wimbledon in the top flight would end up with similar away attendance to say Villa. A better indication would be awarding ranking to the visitors for highest home crowd So for example Middlesbrough would have Wigan 3 Sunderland 2...

    Championship: Boro Average Home[4th] - Away[8th] - Overall[4th] - Attendances 22/23

    The bottom 8 teams for away crowds are the teams who haven’t played away at Sunderland yet. The 9th team who haven’t played there are Birmingham , so they will probably move right up the away chart as that game adds 1k to every teams average

    Sunderland ticket info due this* week

    Sorry , sounds like you have been shafted . Maybe the blocks P24-P28 will be released. The club seem set on not opening up the first 6 rows, due to Coventry, Burnley and Pompey throwing things on the area below, which is in the majority a kids and pensioner area. Now baring in mind I saw the...

    Sunderland ticket info due this* week

    Initial is normally 1,955 then you should probably get P28 and P26 which is an extra 750 so around 2700 would be my guess You wont get the 1st 5 rows due to the missile issue , although personally I think thats daft as the missiles normally come from further back anyway. I would expect we will...

    James McClean criticises FA and EFL over crowd abuse

    I did read McLeans letter to Wigan chairman Dave Whelan, where he explained very clearly his reasons for turning his back on the national anthem, refusing to wear a poppy , and I thought fair enough, that is a reasonable view and I respect that. However, having seen Mr McLean goad the Sunderland...

    Pension transfer value

    I've got a couple I am pulling out when I am 55. I spoke to the company and I get 25% tax free. The rest gets taxed, and initially they tax it as though you have earned the lot in the same month. You have to complete an online form with HMRC to claim it back. P53 or P53Z So if its say £20000...

    First car for a family

    Another vote for the Vauxhall Astra here. I had 2 while I had a young family, I found them reliable, good size boot for a pushchair, plenty of space and reasonable on mpg. Not too big for parking either I have just had a look on Autotrader mind, and I didnt realise how much the price of 2nd hand...

    In hindsight just 35% now think it was right to Leave the EU

    They have cut the amount of backy you can bring back to 250 grammes. Very disapointing , I used to bring back a years supply, about 3kg ( 60 packs) . There again I suppose I am paying more tax now ( on backy) , so helping out NHS and schools more.

    Elton John @ Stadium of Light

    Yes , park on Wayfarer Road . For your satnav it is SR5 3XA. They will likely close Keir Hardie Way for the concert , but if you come off the roundabout to the postcode I have given you, you will be able to park there . You can also turn right onto Inkerman Street , there are a few trade...

    Ross Stewart

    Very tidy footballer. The only one who jumps to mind to compare him to is Dean Ashton. Great touch, good in the air. Links play up well. His finishing has improved dramatically , probably from working on the training ground with Defoe. ( Maja improved similarly) . I think he will get 15 to 20...

    Number of bookings for players

    I think as long as a player gets to match 32 without reaching ten , then they dont get banned. The next time a ban comes us if they get 15 yellows.
