Not sure how you come to that conclusion mate. I’ve spent lots of time up there with work and following the Blues. Great City with nice people and a cracking nightlife.
This. Awful kick off time for them and agree about the FA/PL/TV who thought a 8pm kick off for this fixture was a good idea.I still feel sorry for the Newcastle supporters yesterday. They lost and then had to make their way home when the last train had gone at 9.32 the National Express coach was going via Glasgow and the Megabus wasn’t arriving until 3.15am!!
The FA not giving a toss about supporters. They were probably swanning round in their 5 star hotels with their feet up drinking whisky.
It would have been the same for us if it had been an away game. Disgraceful.
Newcastle (well, Gateshead) has some lovely parts.
The stadium is a shithole.
Many years ago I had a night out in Newcastle. One of the kebab shops served Stella on draught and one of the bars had mirrors above the bar angled in a specific way so you could look down womens tops.
An odd place.
Ofcourse it sold out but many refused entry for being pissed or using someone else's tickets. They were loud and backed their team till the end. Not a lot different from our Maine Rd fanbase.There were so many unsold seats in their part of the ground yesterday...a bit surprising that they couldn't sell their away allocation.
Went through the mill with Ashley.lol.Maybe its a bias to Northern towns but got a lot of time for Newcastle fans. Went through the mill with Ashley, bit like our Pearce era, when you must feel devoid of all hope so fair play to them for turning up in the numbers they have.
Stadium is in a great location and when Ive been there, a real buzz around the place. Good luck to them.
What a great idea ( all of it )Newcastle (well, Gateshead) has some lovely parts.

I think that applies to every set of fans in football.As individuals Newcastle fans are ok. But when they get in a group they being insufferable. They feed off each other, become giddy, and mouthy.
