Hide AdCup fever has gripped Wearside with fans raising more than £140,000 by buying commemorative tickets, Stirk’s Butchers creating a special sausage to mark the occasion and the Papa John’s pizza shop on Newcastle Road temporarily changing its name to ‘Papa Lee’s’ after SAFC manager Lee Johnson.
As we all gear up to watch the match and show our red and white pride at home, we asked Echo readers to send in their score predictions via our Facebook page.
Here’s what some of you said:
Stephen Moran: “I'd settle for us getting totally outplayed and winning 1-0 via an OG – just let us win at Wembley.”
Neil Burnhope: “I think 3-0 to the lads, big Charlie first goal. My six-year-old daughter thinks 2-0, Max Power (her favourite player) first goal.”
