Never seen much of Elliot if I'm being honest, but Harper is ridiculous. Don't see how he can be worse.

Hopefully Elliot plays on Sunday.

Delighted we got the point last night, Everton and their fans can fuck off.

I reckon they've brought this voucher thing in for Maritimo only, they probably haven't got any tickets from Maritimo yet and instead of getting them sent over here and then sent out in a short space of time it makes sense for fans to just pick them up over there. Would be very, very surprised if this was done for every game.

Wigan away last season, some absolute prick racially abusing our own players. Can tell it was the first time he'd travelled away.

There's 4 coaches at least on, majority of people on will be toon fans I bet.

If it's view of the stadium then yes, I'd say so. If the Gallowgate seat is where I'm thinking you'll not be able to see the majority of the Leazes or Milburn. Better atmosphere up there though I'd say.

Just kidding it will just get lost in this thread, its already about 15 posts up btw Apologies, didn't see it. First time I've been Giggs'd.

Thought I'd stick this in here....

I have a nagging feeling the club might ask for reduced allocation, since they've been doing this in the league for some games. Its far more likely that any allocation will be considerably less due to Brugge fans actually wanting to go. Obviously not sure on their crowds but the Brum allocation could have been down to them being a second tier club that fans werent arsed about whereas we may well be a far more attractive match. Looks like the away stand would be hard to segregate if it had more than 1 set of fans in it.

Obviously hope I'm wrong but I think we'll lose comfortably. 3-0.

That ferry is going to be class craic, fucking loads of mags on it. I'm absolutely buzzing and it's not even fucking 2 months away.

Heard that Backpage (I know) are doing a trip to Bordeaux which includes staying over and a chartered flight from Newcastle. Might not be true but possibly worth looking into for those wanting to go.

Think so aye, but surely loyalty points plays a part? I have 36 so will be pissed off if I didn't get one and someone with significantly less did.

Yes, possibly. How you getting from Amsterdam to Brugges? One of our lot has volunteered to drive but we would prefer a train or something. Coach which is going on the ferry from North Shields. There's two coach loads of us going and then another coach load from a local pub near me so there's going to be a fair few NUFC fans on the ferry, should be good. Do you know if there is anymore spaces on the coach? Don't think so mate, cos it's part of the deal we're getting.

Anyone going over via Amsterdam on the Wednesday ferry from N.Shields?

Not a chance we'll take 7,000 like, 1,800 more like.

One of the best players in the country, class.

Get in Podolski!

Going via the Amsterdam ferry, staying in Brugge on the Thursday night, can't wait.

Tomorrow I believe.

Why are you so angry about this? When have we ever had a full house for a cup game against a minnow which is also on TV? I recall us having 40 odd thousand against Mansfield a few years ago, was the day Shearer scored his 200th goal. Not sure if it was on TV or not but still. I'll be surprised if we get more than 20K tomorrow night going on what we've sold so far, only really the East stand is close to being full, probably only about 1,200 tickets have been sold in the entire Leazes. It's understandable that people aren't going if they simply can't afford it, but people who can afford it and will go to the pub and watch it there (for example) are pretty much paying £15 by the time they've bought their pints and their taxi home etc. Bit of a shame that we've made such a big deal out of getting into Europe and we can't even half fill our stadium. Hopefully a comfortable victory anyways, I reckon 2-0.

Was thinking that myself actually, wouldn't surprise me. £10 Million 'bid' rejected at 10 to 11.

I reckon it'll be a centre back.
