Seconded! Cost of tickets and travel plus time to London easily beaten by going to Newcastle!Mellsblue wrote:Not me. Already in the diary. Let us northerners (even adopted ones) have some fun without travelling for an entire day. It’s grim oop here.
Really enjoyed the NZ match at Old Trafford (although had to burn my clothes afterwards!) and the atmosphere was great!
