I take it you live over Hexham way? Petrol is killing me too. A 312 mile round trip is not good on weekday nights! I don't do the less important cup matches especially as the tickets on top of the petrol can make it cost a bomb! The United match cost me around £90 by the time you added it all up!

Yes, I live in Hexham. The things we do for our beloved Blues hm?
I don't go to weekday matches unless I've booked the time off work in advance - I can't manage all that driving late at night.

I have a can of Red Bull waiting in my car for when I set off home and then take a couple of Kalms when I get in. It seems to do the trick! Also if I jog back to my car to beat the traffic I can get home in around two and a half hours.

Thankfully my sister lives in southern Bradford just off in the M62 if I really can't be bothered travelling back!

Are you going to the Everton or Wigan games?

Local train from Hexham to Newcastle then jump straight on Metro Train to Stadium Of Light station. A match on your doorstep but you're not trying hard enough. Forfeitting one run of the mill home game would of easily paid for a decent day out for you.
 
Portsmouth ? top club don't think so- your bell and 3 foot hat wearing clown can drop down to the 3rd div for all I care.

I could easily have wigan ,fulham ,portsmouth, blackburn, burnley in the championship never to be seen again and have them replaced by-

newcastle, leeds,derby, forest, sheff utd + wed, ipswich. norwich.

The only crap team I would put up there is AFC Wimbledon after what happened to them.

I hate the way newcastle have put away fans up in the gods, no other ground in the prem that I can think of gives you a worse view.

Believe me no joke, someone will have a heart attack and die on them steps up to the top.

I remember every time I have been theres been a few of our older fans not looking too hot and no steward in sight.

But on the plus side its a great away day / night ,great crack on, atmosphere's great. Even though they are well and truly deluded fans!
 
Yeah I had a great away day there, was around Jan 2008 and was a night game, Sven was the manager and we did them 2-1, Elano scoring a cracker. Top night.

Ahhh how I miss Elano at times. :(

it's the same way I'll feel about Portsmouth in that to me they're a premiership club whether they're in the division or not.

I've always thought the opposite with Pompey....


Pompey never a premiership club, many other clubs ahead of them in that respect.....

Forest, Newcastle, Leeds,both Sheffield clubs, plus plenty more with better support.

It takes me 3.5 hours, and half an hour to get out of the car park - so a 10pm finish means getting home at silly O'Clock, even if I COULD stay awake for the drive. (I did it once but considered myself a danger behind the wheel when that tired so don't do it at all now.) If I get the time booked off work (and typically, I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) I can go, and then stay over night with my mum in Chester - so I do this occasionally, but no, not for Everton, Wigan, Spurs which are coming up.<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 22, 2010 6:53 am --<br /><br />

I know how to get there thanks, having been before! Please don't presume to tell me what I can or can't afford or what works for me and my family. I have to put a lot of time, money and effort into home games and much as I enjoy away games, I'd rather be there in MY seat, in MY home stadium supporting my team. I have to miss weekday evenings as it is, I'm not giving up more games. I also have a family to consider and try not to neglect them too much - it'd be lovely oen day to be free and rich enough to go to all games, but until then I have to pick and choose according to circumstances.

Suffice to say that I am Blue to the core and do what I can - and when I can't go, I make sure someone else benefits from using my ticket allocation so there is still soemone to support the team.
 
I agree with a lot of the sentiments on this thread in regards to the Geordies. Top day out, good people, proper football club.
HOWEVER, if the fans decide that they want one of their 'messiahs' to come manage them AGAIN now they're heading back to the top flight and Hughton isn't given the chance he deserves they can piss off back down as far as I'm concerned.
 
Newcastle would be a good club to look out for... IF they didn't have twats like Shearer and a number of fans too, who go on about how you have to 'understand' the club to be a part of it. Complete bollocks that. It is a football club like anyother, which just happens to be in the centre of the City, nothing more and nothing less. Remember Lee Dixon putting Shearer in his place on MOTD about this myth too. Very funny.
 
Too full of there own importance.I watched them on Saturday night against Bristol City and that Jonas Gutierrez took Bristol City apart on his own,fuck me that guy has got some energy and he's skilfull for a big man.
