Nice story but don't count on see any victories...

Might as well save a few bucks and just watch the Lynx... same kinda feeling but your wallet won't take a beating like Sunderland will.

Getting the chance to see my first ever EPL game at Old Trafford, and getting to see an EPL rivalry game as well (Sunderland and Newcastle are about 10 miles apart)?

And since it's only a few games from the end of the season and positions could already be set, you never know what you'll see.

I have a feeling it will be more fun than a Lynx game, so I'm gonna give it a shot (as are about 33 other Timbers Army members).

I've said it before here, I've said it on Bigsoccer, I'll say it again.

Sunderland's visit was, in a word, FUN.

What'll be happening across the pond, no matter what records of futility the Black Cats set by the time we get there, will also virtually guaranteed to be FUN. That's worth the money, folks!

Since I got rescheduled off the Rochester-Montreal road trip this season, however, I still might make it to Toronto. Hope to have a few drinks and have more fun... but if my daughter is with me, then it behooves you to lock everything up. BTW, that includes Virginia Beach residents as well.

Reading about some of the other events the TA will get to partake in and how it appears the Sunderland supporters are rolling out the red carpet for them, I've gotta say I'm jealous. Have fun.

Allison, will you be doing a write up and/or posting some pics from the trip?

Ditto!

Kudos to the Timbers fans for striking up such a relationship. Have a safe, fun trip guys and gals!

I'll probably be doing a travelogue similar to what I did in 2003, 2004, and 2005, and should have press credentials for the Sunderland/Newcastle match.

Should be a great time.
