Yeah, that's the danger. It's bad enough coming from Byker to watch some of it. Looking forward to seeing you in the Trent House. If I were you I would try and make it over for the Sunderland at home game next season. As soon as the fixture lists come out next month, get on the net cause I am sure there will be cheap flights to be had. I know it is not ideal as you live in the Chicago area IIRC, but a while back I noticed Zoom Airways offering flights from Toronto to Glasgow for about £250 or $500 return. Thats probably just about the best deal you would get I think.

I can still remember I was on the cross channel ferry back to Dover huddled round a grainy TV with loads of other people watching the Swiss game. I also remember that I fell asleep during the first half of both the Scotland and Spain games! Still gutted by that Gazza miss against Germany. Just a great, great tourney.

Man, I don't think I should. You look at where the club was then, and where it's been since. You're asking me to experience all that for the first time over the course of a few days. That thumbs up smiley should have a knife in it. I think you should get them, also the Newcastle history dvd to see the TRUE glory days of NUFC........Ah the 1950's.........

That is hilarious.

It is pretty usefull now though. Doing what? The 02 Arena isnt it? Aye, £1bn to build it and £600m to renovate it so it can do some music gigs. Fuking special. PS: I think someone else owns it now. And some big sporting events too. Fact is, they have salvaged the project and gave London what it lacked for years..a 20,000+ seater arena which is one of the biggest in the world. A waste of near £2bn. Its not rescued, its a monumental failure, you could have build that for £50m, i mean Cardiff cost what £90m? All you have to do is stick a roof on and make it smaller. Anyone know how much the Newcastle Arena cost? Earth won't exist by the time the dome has paid itself off. I agree with what you are saying but with regards to the Newcastle Arena, that is one cheap and nasty hell hole, which is falling apart, seats about 8,000 and is about to be torn down after about what 15 years?? I just hope that IF and when we get a replacement it will be of a good design and of high quality. Yet still better build quality than the Stadium of s**** or the Riverside. Gets higher attendances as well. That is highly debatable , it is just about THE worst Arena of its kind in the UK.

It should have been built in Haltwhistle, the centre of Britain. You are forgetting one small fact..........it is England's national stadium not Britain's.

How is Manchester central for the whole of England? Correct, Birmingham would be the perfect location apart from the fact it is a proper nightmare to get in and out of. The site they wanted to build it on was at the NEC. Right next to the M42, a few miles from the M6, and about five miles from the M40. Access would have been a piece of piss. Well, relatively speaking. Nah mate, as a Geordie who has driven to Brum on numerous occasions following the toon I can say it is an absolute hellish place to get out of.

While it is one of the best in the world currently, I think it could have been a million times better than it is and in 40-50 years will look well out of date and probably be knocked down again.

Walking up the drab, grey, cheap and shitty concrete staircases to the gods is an absoloute nightmare. For the money it cost and the more than half a decade we had to wait for it I want the stairs f***ing carpet finished for fucks sake! I was on the lower tier so didn't have to worry about stairs. One other thing I did notice though is how dry the place is in terms of licensed premises. Don't think I saw a noticeable drunk when I was there. Oh, and the white horses intimidated the f*** out of me, I think the riding police thought it was Bolton 1924 or whatever all over again. First time I was there I was in the upper tier and there aint any stairs to negotiate! The escalators took everyone up. Well, you must have been in some kind of posh bit cause i was in the upper tier, opposite side to the corporate bit and it was flights of stairs after flights of stairs.

I was just looking through all of the different mls teams strips and man does someone need to start playing in black and white stripes. It would give me a team to follow!

Link? Fuckin hell, its about £50 for a shirt with a name on!!!

His best moment for us was that goal when we beat Feyenoord 2-3. Mike, why not buy the season review DVD's from 2001 onwards? they are cheap as chips on amazon and such places and will get you up to speed on the happenings in the 4 years or so before you started following us. Just a thought plus they are a good watch, particularly 2001/02 and 2002/03.

reductions for people based on the fact that they sing is unfair to the people paying more because they dont sing. My god, do you want an atmosphere or what?????? fans paying more than those who sing based purely on the fact that they dont sing is ridiculous. Honestly mate, have a look at what you're saying , with all due respect it is you who is sounding a bit ridiculous. This is a scheme to encourage the so called 'singers' to merge together in the worst seats in the ground. Because these are the worst seats in the ground they should also be the cheapest. Last season, Villa did something similar. Moved away fans from the North Stand lower (awful seats, no legroom, s*** view), put home fans there and made 1,500 or so of the 3000 tickets there available at 200 quid adults, 50 quid kids. The result was a much, much better atmosphere in the ground as a whole, and lots of people being able to afford STs who couldn't before. Stand probably getting pulled down at end of this coming season, so don't know what will happen long term, though Aye, that old away end at Villa park is truely awful.

If it is heavily over subscribed then they should think about extending the singing section along the Milburn L7.

Spot on mate, exactly how I feel. Despite our recent woes we are a far more attractive club than many on here realise and I believe ANY player bar the 'truely world class' stars are attainable.

Nah lads, its really Bristol Slave Traders Vs Hull Athletic.

Not a good one though, is it? Howay the Hull!

Only one team in Hull though. Yeah, but still its not Hull Town though is it? Last time I checked, Hull was a City.

Hull CITY isnt it?

Be interesting to see how they steward it; I think you're right and that loads will (or at least want to) stand. hopefully the stewards have a relaxed view on standing up there. The club obviously aren't gonna come out and say it's a standing section as it's against the law.But i think they know that most will probably want to stand and have probably told the stewards that I reckon the club arent that clever and havent anticipated the standing that is likely to occur. Same goes for the steward's, they will probably go in with the usual heavy handed approach. if the majority stand nowt will happen, just be like an away game tbh Yeah hope so but in the long term the police could force the club to abolish the singing section.
