I do agree though. Just another in a long list of Metro excuses. There's been football matches with that sort of crowd (50,000) for the past 13 years, and it's never been a problem. Most likely covering up that they've had to pull a train out of service.
By goodness, Stanley is like the epicentre of the earth on a Sunday morning.
Forget Percy Street on a Friday afternoon, Monument Metro 30mins after the final whistle, the queue of packed trains waiting at Hebburn on the single track towards Shields or the Tyne Bridge at any time of the day - Stanley on a Sunday morning is chaos!
