Away to Sunderland. Many going? 7pm kick off. Only ever been to a couple of England games at their place so not quite sure where to go.

Just got back from the Royal Armouries, such a great place to visit. We went for a coffee afterwards in a lovely little shop. All really nice until the Sunderland coaching staff walked in. Had to tell them I wanted both of them to get smashed tonight.

Tasty game on Tuesday evening! 2nd v 3rd playing one of their games in hand over Stockton, who are 10 points clear. If Hebburn win their two games the gap is four. If Dunston win three, the gap is three. 6 games left for the anchors. Going to be a few Stockton fans at this one and should be a...

I know plenty of people are going to say, get a gait analysis done, but… I used to get ASICS cumulus but the guy in the shop said they changed the soles and to get Brooks Ghost. Just been looking online and not sure if they have been discontinued but Brooks seem to have a couple of new shoes. My...

From Hartlepool. Went to Durham University. Used to be a teacher at North Shore Academy. Began refereeing in the Teesside Alliance league. Madness how he can do our games but was similar with the Bristol ref, and I thought he was excellent.

Think it’s about time he showed his true colours and as soon as he links up with the international squad throws some sort of Roy Keane style tantrum and gets sent back to the Boro asap.

Great commentator. Love listening to him on the darts, funny, knowledgable and likes to get the odd subtle dig in too.

This Brazilian team are absolutely mental!

After they scored their second goal, the co-commentator on the stream I’m watching the game said, Leeds are on fire, the little white men are playing great. It was Summerville who scored. Not the greatest of comments.

Not very good with tech sometimes so after a bit of advice. I need to record some videos online for teaching. I used to use screencast-o-matic but now that needs a subscription. Looking for something that allows me to record the video and audio on screen and in the future with me narrating and...

Stoke game. In laws have booked the ‘traditional’ weekend away to Beadnell for three nights (started two years ago). It clashes with the Stoke game. I’ve been told I’m not allowed to go. I’ve obviously said I am going. I struggle with mental health a LOT. If it wasn’t for my two kids, sometimes...

I live in a small village just outside Durham, season ticket holders and we are trying to get to away games but cost, distance and priority points are putting a little stop to that at times! When Russia invaded Ukraine and there was a call for refugee hosts, my village stepped up to the plate in...

Anyone got any experience of this? My kids go to St Leonard’s in Durham and their handling of the whole situation is nothing short of shambolic. Virtually no information from the trust, school or DfE with them, the government and the council all blaming each other for the slow to non existent...

First away game for the kids on Tuesday! They’re really looking forward to it. Any ideas on best places to park? From what I’ve seen there are a couple of shopping centres. Leaving Durham around 430 so hopefully not cutting it too fine!

Any idea who and how I contact the club for birthday announcements for Saturday? Sent an email yesterday morning but had no response.

During our trip to France the tent got tree sap on it, amongst other tree associated stuff. Any ideas how to clean this off without it damaging the tent? I’ve seen stuff associated with alcohol but doesn’t quite seem right.

I know there are already a couple of threads and I’ve had a quick read and can’t find any answers possibly because I’m now in a blind panic. Are new cards being sent out? Today’s post has just been, first time this week! And there were no season cards! Tried the download thing and nothing to...

This forum really is a saviour and such a great place. Obviously it isn’t always best to take advice from strangers but when I need the right advice I always seem to get it on here. Ok, there are a few ‘interesting’ members with ‘different’ views. But that’s what makes us brilliant and just want...

My wife has had an initial assessment for autism and been told she is on a long waiting list for further diagnosis but is likely to have it. Recently we’ve been having a few problems, particularly around communication. Her attitude towards me is usually cold and sometimes hostile. If we...

Never been into camping but we’ve just bought a tent and looking to get away a few times over the summer. Four of us. Probable trips to Europe. Not sure how the fuel systems work here and on the continent! Looked at the simple stuff from go outdoors but still not sure what to get! Any advice...
