We ended up in a spoons then the Sunderland fans museum (which was actually decent, wish we had somthing like it) earlier this season. Wouldn't mind going somewhere with cov fans this time around though.
Never had an issue getting in a pub at Sunderland, certainly without colours. Have gone in the Colliery Tavern right outside the ground a couple of times. Doorman asked if we were Cov last time, said yes, and he just said in you come lads. That was last season, so don't know if they've changed that, but pretty relaxed up there.

The last two matches we went to Street Bar SR1, which is a sports bar in the city centre. No problems on either occasion - indeed, lots of chat with local fans. Not a place to start singing Jimmy Hill songs, though.
