:20:57. > :21:00.week in, week out. I did not expect to get this far this quickly. It is
:21:01. > :21:03.not just enter me but it is a group of people involved in a for many
:21:04. > :21:07.years. Helping fret that difficult period.
:21:08. > :21:11.But it's not just former Premier League star Julio Arca who's
:21:12. > :21:20.I have played a Scottish Cup final at Hampden. 60,000 people. I am used
:21:21. > :21:24.to that sort of atmosphere. How excited can you be about going to
:21:25. > :21:27.Wembley? It is the biggest stage in the country, if not the world at
:21:28. > :21:31.times. It is one of those places you dream of playing in as a kid.
:21:32. > :21:34.Now let's hope the Mariners' dream comes true.
:21:35. > :21:36.Good luck to both our cup final teams.
:21:37. > :21:39.Also on Sunday, the Premier League season winds up
:21:40. > :21:49.Boro will try to dent Liverpool's top four hopes,
:21:50. > :21:50.while David Moyes completes his 499th top
:21:51. > :21:52.flight game as a manager at champions Chelsea.
:21:53. > :21:55.Then it's time to discuss plans for next season
:21:56. > :21:58.We have got a hard one to come straight back up,
:21:59. > :22:01.a little bit of a softer one, and I need to see
:22:02. > :22:05.But if you look at the teams that have come back up...
:22:06. > :22:08.Newcastle would be the one recently. But you could look at other clubs.
:22:09. > :22:11.Brighton in the past have taken three, four years
:22:12. > :22:13.to sort of build the club, bring it up.
:22:14. > :22:15.So there is different ways to get promoted.
:22:16. > :22:19.Obviously, every Sunderland supporter and myself wants
:22:20. > :22:21.to hear the quick way, the quickest way we
:22:22. > :22:28.Meanwhile, Middlesbrough, who're at Anfield on Sunday,
:22:29. > :22:31.seem likely to keep a core of their squad intact for next
:22:32. > :22:36.But will that include highly-rated captain Ben Gibson,
:22:37. > :22:38.despite signing a new five year contract?
:22:39. > :22:45.He has had a wonderful season as a player in a disappointing
:22:46. > :22:53.And I have no doubt that Ben will play the majority of his career
:22:54. > :23:05.Once the Liverpool game is out of the way, then
:23:06. > :23:14.Interesting. Watch this ace. -- space.
:23:15. > :23:17.Now, they braved the wind and the rain in an attempt
:23:18. > :23:20.Hundreds of people descended on the seaside town of Saltburn this
:23:21. > :23:22.afternoon, attempting to set a record for
:23:23. > :23:25.Yes, the event - organised by Age UK Teesside -
:23:26. > :23:28.was aiming to smash the previous record set in Bosnia.
:23:29. > :23:32.We sent Stuart Whincup to see how they got on.
:23:33. > :23:48...then it was time for the record attempt.
:23:49. > :23:52.Hundreds gathered from across the Northeast,
:23:53. > :23:57.The youngest was seven, the oldest was 96-year-old war
:23:58. > :24:06.It is absolutely fabulous, and how crackers is it
:24:07. > :24:10.It is so quintessentially British to be here and doing
:24:11. > :24:20.In the end, they missed out on the world record set in Bosnia.
:24:21. > :24:24.They needed more than the 1,500 couples there.
:24:25. > :24:26.But, in truth, no-one here seemed to care.
:24:27. > :24:29.It was incredible to think that so many people turned out
:24:30. > :24:34.I was quite nervous because you're scared in case you're
:24:35. > :24:41.It was really fun to do it and I want to do it again.
:24:42. > :24:44.It's just a shame about the weather, but we came prepared.
:24:45. > :24:47.In all, 731 people braved the wind and rain.
:24:48. > :24:50.Not enough for a world record, but enough to become
:24:51. > :25:06.The important thing is a fantastic time was obviously had by all,
:25:07. > :25:11.despite the weather. Dancing in the rain as the weather we have been
:25:12. > :25:15.describing it. Yes, plenty of today and plenty of it on Saturday as
:25:16. > :25:20.well. Take a look at this. How would you feel if you suddenly saw 2000
:25:21. > :25:23.scores in your back garden? This is a dramatic new sculpture being
:25:24. > :25:34.unveiled in Northumberland -- Northumberland tomorrow. It was
:25:35. > :25:38.produced by Darren Gough. He spent hundreds of hours at the
:25:39. > :25:42.Glass Centre in Sunderland filing, glazing and placing all these worlds
:25:43. > :25:49.on mounts by hand. That is going to be on display tomorrow. It looks
:25:50. > :25:52.fantastic. What will we have the weather for it? Tomorrow might be a
:25:53. > :25:58.bit hit and miss. This was the scene today in Alnwick, taken from the
:25:59. > :26:03.safety of under the umbrella of one of our Weather Watchers. This
:26:04. > :26:05.weekend, it is quite cool in the mornings with scattered showers
:26:06. > :26:10.around on Saturday. Sunday is looking drier. This is the picture
:26:11. > :26:14.through tonight. The rain in the east is easing off but we still have
:26:15. > :26:20.some quite sharp bursts of rain across parts of the Pennines and
:26:21. > :26:22.enter Northumberland. Cumbria stays largely dry during a night with
:26:23. > :26:28.temperatures around eight or nine Celsius. First thing on Saturday
:26:29. > :26:31.morning, generally dry and bright but the showers will get going as we
:26:32. > :26:34.head through the day and some of the showers tomorrow will be on the
:26:35. > :26:39.B-side. If we take a look at how that pans out at around four p.m.,
:26:40. > :26:43.it is a case of sunshine and showers. If Cheryl, long and you
:26:44. > :26:46.will have a trial by Chris Bell and then another shower. Some of the
:26:47. > :26:50.showers could be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder, maybe even some
:26:51. > :26:53.hailstones. Temperatures in the low to mid teens and it might feel
:26:54. > :26:58.disappointing under the showers. Not too bad when we get sunshine. It is
:26:59. > :27:01.a mixed bag on Saturday afternoon but it improves as we head into
:27:02. > :27:05.Sunday. Overnight, it becomes drier with clear spells developing.
:27:06. > :27:09.Temperatures dipping to around seven or eight Celsius. Sunday looks much
:27:10. > :27:14.better if you're after a dry and bright day. We will see some change
:27:15. > :27:17.in the morning and winds will be quite light. Just the chance of one
:27:18. > :27:21.or two showers in the afternoon and it will feel a bit warmer on Sunday.
:27:22. > :27:27.Temperatures of around 1617 Celsius with a light rays. Into the start of
:27:28. > :27:28.next week, it stays relatively dry with sunny spells, feeling warmer
:27:29. > :27:37.ties around 17 Celsius. Roll on next week. Thank you very
:27:38. > :27:40.much indeed. That is it from us this evening. Don't forget the late news
:27:41. > :27:43.that the name 10:30 p.m.. Have a great weekend. -- the late news at
:27:44. > :27:57.10:30 p.m.. Good night. It's cold.
:27:58. > :28:02.Tastes a bit like avocado. And soon we're all
:28:03. > :28:06.going to be eating them. Four crickets have the same amount
:28:07. > :28:09.of calcium as a glass of milk, and a dung beetle,
:28:10. > :28:13.twice the protein of beef.
