With M Salut having other duties and his deputy being at the game I (John Mac, that is) was left in charge of the shop. Radio 5 made only fleeting visits to Sunderland, Radio Newcastle doesn’t stream games on the net and the SAFC website was very reluctant to refresh. Fortunately, Pete Sixsmith has the technology we need. Within seconds of the final whistle his text was winging its way across the Pennines with a seven word summary that tells us all we need to know. And that’s as good as it got…
