True, but only 14 miles from Newcastle and we have fans regularly making the 30 mile trip from Weston (which incidentally is roughly the same distance from Sunderland to Middlesbrough). I think it is noteworthy and no doubt they will bring one of the biggest away followings to Ashton Gate. Bring it on, I like a big game atmosphere. No doubt we will get to play in Sunderland on a Tuesday night in November.
