A massive venue with 48k capacity on banks of river Wear. Joke allocation of 3000 for away mob in west corner of south stand behind goal. Gotta sing loud to make an impression on home mob high up in distant upper tiers. All mod cons but crowds & queues as per usual.

Head straight on for quite a distance until stadium visible on right.
