Toon parkrun is really good, but get near the front for the start as there is a gate after a couple of hundred yards, a real pinch-point. Big turn-out, about 800 when I did it.
Agreed. View is fine for a change (I watch most matches from low down in the stands). Good concourse. Brilliant city for a night out. Great parkrun around the town moor on Saturday morning. Friendly locals. Not expensive relative to the SE. All in all a very decent weekend option IMHO.
All those who haven’t been to Newcastle and planning to go should start fitness training now in case it’s an early season fixture. Just saying [emoji23][emoji23]
