Newcastle 1968

As I remember it, it was a lot easier than 4-3 suggests... Especially when the rags were struggling to lose 2-0 to Sunderland.

We were in the Gallowgate end that day - Blues were everywhere!!

2-0 City on Sunday - It's Joleon's turn to score first, and Samir to prove he can still finish!
 
Am I only one, have you all thought we could all but win it on sun, swanns dick the rags' we win at the barcodes should do it without a 10+ goal diff swing, slur will have a hart attack on live tv and I can die a happy man

I have it on good authority that a high street bookie refused to take a bet on baconface dropping dead during the match last night.... I thought you could bet on anything!

May be worth trying again this weekend?

Great memories... We were in the Gallowgate by about 1:00. They had to open the gates to let the crowds in. Most of the geordie regulars were locked out by 2:30. If you were in the pub at 2:30, you had a wasted journey!

I used to wonder how many people got in when they opened the gates 15 minutes from the end... There were as many people on the pitch as there were still on the terraces.

It's a f*ckin hell of a long way to jump on Sunday if any Blues decide to re-enact the 1968 celebrations!
 
Thanks for posting that video. It sure took me back to 1968 and that game. Just so sad Tommy Doyle and Nelly Young are no longer with us. Colin Bell, always my favorite, played a great game.

Newcastle are a tough team but City are better.


(Yes, I know it is Mike Doyle but everyone called him 'Tommy' and I know it is Neil Young but if you ever saw his autograph it looked like he'd signed 'Nelly Young')

Likewise. We got there early and went into the stadium as soon as the gates opened.

During the pitch invasion, I grabbed a piece of turf and later planted in our garden back in Cheadle Hulme. It may still be growing there now!

As I was driving I couldn't drink too much after the match but it was a great celebration. Fortunately my Fiat 500 behaved itself, for once, and we got there and back without mishap.
 
only been 30 hours or so but this > Newcastle has already seemed a hell of a lot longer than Wolves > United

I was in there with your Mum and Dad, one massive memory all the way through my life, we took over the ground that day, the old barcodes never forgot it, history will repeat, and Swansea will get a 0-1 win it will be repeated can feel it
