Dogs birthday and it’s a special one so we’re taking her out in London. Will watch on MOTD though.

The cost, rail replacement buses and the fact I’ve done Newcastle away twice already were my main factors.

We are not a club with a huge national fan base.

Utter unreliablity of rail services these days. Transport costs.
Just under four hours to go from Euston to Manchester the other week being a classic illustration.

This is my first trip to Newcastle.

Last year over Xmas was unaffordable.

Championship year turned out to be my wedding day on August bank holiday weekend.

Mrs is a Newcastle fan so we're heading up Friday and coming back Monday to coincide with my 40th tomorrow.

And yes, she's in the home end and I'm in the away end with you lot.

I couldn't trust myself in the home end if we scored. I'd get my head kicked in or kicked out!

Enjoy - I hope you are both talking afterwards

If the powers that be stopped pandering to Newcastle and forced them to implement the away fan pitchside rule they themselves enforced to every other club , then that may have had some effect on going to this one for me , i honestly struggled to see who had the ball we were so far up and away in the clouds , i'm not wasting my money on going to Newcastle for basically a night out .

Leaving your glasses in the car didn't help though did it :lolol:

To be perfectly honest I hope I'm the happy chatty one!

I've made a massive mistake though. We left at 4am this morning and was in the hotel bar at 10am. Sitting down having my pint I realised my match ticket is still on my fridge door in Burgess Hill:ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon:FFSPuncheon

Phoned the club as soon as I realised and I'm now on the duplicate list to pick up another one tomorrow.

What an absolute ****.

I've done that before. We were on the coach going to Derby. I rang the club who arranged for me to pick up a duplicate when we arrived.

For a pre-match child friendly pub you could try The Goose on Percy Street. It's a big pub so you may even get a seat and it does cheap food. Away fan friendly and I've seen plenty of kids in there before. Short walk to SJP from there. Not a favourite of mine by any means but would do a job.

It’s looking like it going to be a poor turnout at Newcastle this weekend.
It looks like we have sold less than 1500 tickets for the game.
Is this down to the fact that Newcastle is just
too far away or is it the wrong time of the month.(financially)
Is our poor away form a factor.

Yeah I must have been on the same train.
I hope you got the 50% refund you were entitled to for your journey between Euston & Manchester.
