(lockdown 3 @ 6/1/21, no fans). (Post lockdown 2: Tier 3 @ 27/11/20).

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.

A1 north to A690, then A19. Go over river bridge and turn for city on A1231.
Head straight on for quite a distance until stadium visible on right.
Station in city centre, walkable in 20 mins. Or take a metro service to St Peters near stadium.
