Good evening and welcome to sunny St James' Park, where the atmosphere is building nicely.
The Gulls fans are shading their eyes from the sun and enjoying the haute cuisine of floppy pies and unidentified hot liquids.
On the way into the ground the banter has been up to the usual standards.
Gulls fans had to run the gauntlet of an eight year old boy hurling abuse at them, but they didn't seem to mind.
