Sunderland Travel

The club have ways been good at incentivising people to travel for matches like this, to get as many Fulham fans there as possible.  I wonder what the chances are of putting on flights there and back in a night for the replay?  Am I being too unrealistic??

Free coach travel is probably the best you could hope for but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Just to clarify, I wasn't looking for free flights.

I think it'll mainly be FFC's geriatric away army for this one.

Free coaches would be good but personally, I'd prefer any spare cash to be spent on the Cottage bogs.

Plus those looking to tick it off for the 92 club.

The Putney end was full of Sunderland fans yesterday, we need to match that if possible.
It is a long ride by coach, be nice to fill a few aeroplanes.

I was on that flight, the Fulham Flyer. It was hit by lightning on take off (apparently it happens more often than you realise).  Was an omen for the disastrous match I think. Magath at his most awfulness - although he did play Dan Burn at fullback for the first time if I can remember, so maybe he was visionary after all!

I'm sure there's a few southern based Sunderland fans. Can't imagine there's many FFC fans in or around Sunderland!

Wasn't it under Sanchez?

You live in Sunderland - a few days in London is quite an attractive proposition.  You live in London - a few days in Sunderland?  I've been there - some nice coastline but......

Well, thinking about it 2007 would not be Magath but I was sure the whole Flyer was arranged to ensure we took a decent contingent to Middlesborough for the last game of the season but we had already been relegated by the time the game happened. I am confused I think.

Plane was hit by lightning though!

Already Safe beat Liverpool the  week before Sheffield Utd got Relegated  when West Ham won at Man U.

It was and Matthew Briggs was given his debut. I too was on the flight - bad start to a crap day all round
