Me and my mate went in the opposite end, the home fans end as it was 50p cheaper! Then tried to get a transfer and was told no chance. So stood quietly watching the game from that end.

Also remember at the West Brom game somebody had an inflatable Newcastle brown. Think he let it down when everyone sang "you dirty geordie bastard" to him

Check out the Blue Print picture above - back left is a large Newky brown can

Those days are gone forever but memories held dear. It was unique and everyone seemed to be up for laugh.

Mine had a slow puncture. It was pretty limp most of the time.

The thing is, it was fan led. That's what made it unique.
Like the Poznan - once the club were marketing it and flogging bananas / Poznan t shirts then you knew it was over.....
