@STM I'm on the 0655. From what I can gather they have 2 carriages of unreserved seating first come first served. My ticket tells me to go to coach C. Ideally what you want is a train starting at Newcastle so it won't have any travellers from Edinburgh on it taking up seats. Going by the early departure of mine it should be starting in Newcastle I think but could be wrong though! Yours I'm not so sure. Yeah just take it in your stride mate would hate to be faced with this dilema and having the bairn with me. Hats off to you!

I'm on a train down on Saturday morning. All seats fully booked so I'm having to stand for 3 hours. This didn't concern me a few weeks back when I booked but now it's nearing the day it's a bit of a twat like.

Can you not go to Newcastle?

I thought he was training at his beach house in Whitley Bay.

It is a great podcast tbf about Bobby.

I have just finished listening to the four part podcast and honestly I was so moved by it. I could listen to Bobby talk all day long. Particularly loved the episode about growing up in County Durham and his young life. The final episode about his cancer battle was so sad but uplifting too and the chit chat at the end where they talk about wrapping it up cause Bobby has a 4pm appointment and he says "We've had a good day have we not, George?" Really got me. They don't make men like him anymore. I just wish George had gotten the chance to have more time with him and really go in depth on the different stages of his career. Brilliant stuff.

Loved the Bobby display. Shame sky never gave it more than a few seconds.

Lads did anyone really think that our trophy drought would come to an end with anything other than being up against it and dealing with some crazy circumstances? Keep calm. We can still do this.

That's what I'm doing. Train down sat morning. Day on the piss and Trafalgar Square. Kipping on the floor of mates hotel room then first train back Sunday morning to watch the game in town.

You can wash them just not inside out. That's how mine fucked up.

Tragic news. RIP.

This is not going to be suspended due to the winds is it? Would be just our luck for Bruno to miss the final!

FUCK OFF!!

Mike in Newcastle For a cup final. I still cannot believe it. What a time to be alive, these are truly blessed days.

Anyone in limbo about coming over for it. Just do it lads. You will always regret it if we win and you didn't.

I know fuck all about anything but I am absolutely certain that they could double the capacity of the East Stand by moving the pitch westwards by as many feet as possible and building a steep new stand in its place. They can even paint a giant picture of the sun on the back to keep Leazes Terrace happy.

Fuckin hell, Mike's coming over for this! We have to win now. No excuses.

I know nothing about anything but it always strikes me how this financial fair play palaver is anything but fair. It's like the complete opposite of what the words actually mean.

I can do one better. I am going down on the Saturday on me todd just to experience the pre match atmosphere and coming back up to Newcastle on THE day of the match. thankfully I will be meeting up with mates on the sat for the day but it's mad to think that I was a season ticket holder for 15 years and only stopped because of Ashley and now the day I have dreamt of my whole life is here and I'm on the outside looking in. I guess it's the final kick in the bollocks from Ashley.

Just a few smallish places as far as I know Dekka. All sold out. Nowt at SJP yet.

Thought they'd have something absolutely massive on in town for this like. Disappointed to be honest.

You can add 'Down to the Waterline' and 'Southbound Again' by Dire Straits. Both about Newcastle.

Movin on up and Blitzkrieg bop are both class imo. Movin on up should be forever one of our songs now going forward. It's proper class.

He's class. Great to see him back.

Just put some big screens up around the Monument and make it look like Buenos Aires.
