Actually if you have revolut I can send you the money for the ticket now.

I'll be able to pay by Revolut, right? I'm not gonna have to take out cash or anything ridiculous like that?

We've really pissed in their wallet with this deal.

Think Blaze said we have our own waitress and we can order stuff from her to get at the bar for us.

Sorry to hear that man, would have been cool to have some pints with you. Sounds like you're being a good brother, fair play. Hope your sister is able to get it turned around and there are brighter days ahead for her

Christ that was quick feet to get that shot away.

Rocker suggested Quay Ingredient in the WhatsApp and I can't see myself coming off it. 90 yards from my hotel to check in after and prime spot for a snakey photo right beside the bridge.

If anyone else would prefer to go for a big breakfast around 10 or so instead of the lunch thing then myself and Decky will be doing that. Will be up at 4 to get to the airport so will need a proper feed a bit earlier than most of you lot. Any suggestions on good breakfast spots in the city centre? Anyone wants to join us then you're more than welcome too.

Very first N-O meet-up was Union Rooms, is this really the same fucking place?

Also Froggy hasn't posted very much at all since he went to Norway to meet Kaz. Just saying

You couldn't have figured this out before I paid in advance for my hotel, no?

Was saving that for next week and you've both stolen my thunder and also gone and butchered the quote, you great big bastard.

Lass surprised me with one for Valentines Day Gonna debut it in Newcastle on cup final day.

He's joking but that sounds like a solid plan, frankly.

Option of early check-in at midday too for an extra tenner. Might want something a bit fancier if you're staying a couple of nights but all I need is somewhere to crash on Sunday night so this should do the job.

If things do settle down and you can make it let me know, seems the flights are going down in price and there are hotels so you never know, might be doable at the last minute. Sorry to hear all of that though, hope your sister will be alright and it's not too stressful on you and your parents. Obviously that's the most important thing.

I went from "can't possibly swing it" to booking flights in an hour one evening last week. Flights are cheaper now though somehow ffs You to thank technically as it was talking to Rich after being eliminated from Traitors that I decided to just fucking do it Myself and Decky are both going over from Dublin the early flight Sunday morning and back late on Monday night. The hotel I'm staying in is about 60 quid for a room, was shocked how reasonable it was compared to Dublin prices at the moment. No chance at all you can pull it off?

Not sure if it's what you're after but loads of us from the forum are going to a room in a place in town.

Cuba flying in from Colorado and being the 26th man would be heartbreaking stuff

Aye, was 100% just taking the piss. As a general rule, it's best to never take anything I say seriously Really cool of you to organise all of this @BlazeT44, really sorry if you took that as a serious suggestion and it caused you any stress.

Hope you can pull it off, man.

I can imagine. You think you'll be able to swing it? Blaze should ditch the mother and girlfriend to be honest, tell them forum regulars only. They'd understand, I'm sure.

Unless they're super fucking strict about it we'll surely be able to sneak in a few extra heads?

Drewcastle if anything, surely?

It just seems like virtue signalling to me, to be honest. Is it a disaster if we finish 8th this season? No, of course not. Big picture, it's huge progress from where we were 12 months ago and we'd all have taken it. But in order to do that we'll basically have had to average barely over a point a game over the second half of the season and to me that would be a concern going into next season. Would mean that we'd basically have to not recover from the mini-slump we're in now before the end of the year. We're all happy the club is finally being run with some ambition, I don't think it's wrong for us to have some ambition ourselves in turn.
