Newcastle Blue Star could be an option as well. Home on the 16th and 26th. Hop on the Number 1 in town and it drops you off outside. Probably be a fair crowd at both.
If I remember rightly the boxing day game is listed as a 7.30 KO too. Best check nearer the time though.
Edit to say NL web site has it as 3pm and Blue Star site says 7.30. Be more inclined to trust NL site tbh.

Turned up in his lorry delivering some stuff into my work a couple of year back. Was telling me he was watching South Shields a lot. Heard he hails from there.

Who was the new stadium announcer v Arsenal and why? Sounded like Steve of Metro radios' breakfast show, Steve and Karen.

Big Scottish Cup 2nd round tie currently on BBC Scotland for anyone who's really desperate. Musselburgh v Clyde (sky 187). Don't all desert the forum at once mind.

Hope you get to Dunston one day. It's a good little club. Very homely and welcoming. Used to get to a few games there myself before the resurrection of Blue Star. Was quite torn for a while. Enjoyed going to Dunston then Blue Star came back and is only a little over a mile down the road from me. Almost felt obliged to follow my local club and it's taken a while but my enthusiasm is growing. I've a mate in Worksop btw, not a million miles from you. He's mad keen. Follows them everywhere. Off to Stockport next Sat in the FA cup 1st round so a big day for them.

Good that. Got it about 2 thirds of the way through. She commended the staff and I must agree. When I visited as part of my 'doing the 92' mission, I asked someone where I could buy tickets. Turned out to be the club liason officer and he took me inside the ground and gave me a mini tour and loads of info. Nice touch and I have fond memories from the place.

Meant to be coming up to Dunston with my local side Grantham Town tomorrow...they've announced a pitch inspection at 8am and sounds like the weathers been shite all week, for yous up there and knowing the pitch I assume there's not much chance of it being on? Real shame as we were beinging close to 100 fans up and many stopping the weekend - and now it'll be rearranged for a shitty Tuesday night when only about 20 will make it, exact same thing happened to us last season as well!
Fingers Xd for you. Not looking good I'm afraid. Still raining heavily driving home an hour ago. Had a lot of rain last few days. You never know though.

Channel hopping after MOTD last night i caught some of "Olivia Marries Her Match". Basically charts the lives of ex Love Island lass Olivia Atwood and Sunderlands' Bradley Dack. Was only of interest because they had their stag and hen doos in Ibiza (hers is on TV tonight at 9 apparently) and much of it was filmed in a couple of places next to our hotel. Ocean Beach Club was one of them. She's filmed in around what i'm guessing will be there former home of Cheshire. Wonder how she feels about their move further north. They both sound like being from down Souff. She spends half her life having beauty treatments done. Laser treatment, the works and without make up she looks nowt special at all and has wasted her money. He looks like a hen pecked drip. That's my TV review over. I promise i don't make a habit of watching such shite..honest

Yeah, we’re doing well given the start. I just wish we could have seen that Liverpool game out. I still think it’ll be a push to make top 4 given the number of games and accumulation of injuries we’re bound to pick up but this team just keeps proving people wrong!
Was thinking the same earlier. So close to all 3 pts at West Ham too. We'd be a point or 2 off top. All ifs and buts i suppose.

Just off a flight from ibiza. The usual mackem knackers both ways. Clad in the obligatory red n white going out. Being all rebellious cos they're going through Newcastle. Same crowd on the flight back. One gave a little "red n white army" shout at the sight of a toon top getting on the plane. Another says "loads of mags on here like". Even one of his mates pointed out that's a probability considering we were flying to Newcastle. Then the old "should be called Ponteland airport, and "Sunderland Council own 51%" shite started. So pleased to get off.

Aye, definitely warming to the white shorts and socks. I remember when Gullit tried changing them start of the 99/00 season he said it just makes you look like a great team. Here we are.
Is it just my failing memory or have we been traditionally unlucky wearing white shorts? Nice break with tradition last night if so.

Driving home from work tonight and Grandstand road and the other side of the central motorway bridge were packed with cars. Guessing that was for the 2nd viewing tonight. Was it cancelled?

And what happens if you dont know early enough to return it? Ie last season my mate found out his lass went into labour two weeks early less than an hour before the bus left. Old rules he gave his ticket to his brother and no money lost which is fair enough and my whole point in this. Now that would be £100 up the shitter because hes subhuman scum that doesnt book refundable travel.....I cant imagine the boxoffice being much help early doors on a Sunday morning.
There'll always be unfortunate and exceptional circumstances stopping people from using their own ticket but the thing is the club has to have something in place to try and allocate a ticket to the applicant only, and other tickets going to those with fewer pts as a consequence . If someone can't make it they'll be genuine in a lot of cases but the club can't tell who is and isn't. Whether we like it or not the system has been in place for years. Tickets go to ST holders and those with the most pts 1st. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I say that through gritted teeth because I lost loads of pts and now don't have any. In the eyes of the club I've no record of loyalty despite going home and away for 47 years, but I knew the risks when I gave my ticket up. It's only now become an issue because of the increased demand.

Nobody is talking about home games for a few pages now.......
I returned a an away ticket a couple of seasons ago and got a refund off the club no problem. Just told them I was unable to go. Maybe they take a different stance these days. Who knows?

Because its utterly ridiculous that should someone have the audacity to be ill or heaven forbid something else like suddenly working that their ticket should remain empty due to a pathetic rule saying it cant be used?
I've got every sympathy with anyone who's shelled out a fortune on travel etc and then genuinely can't make it but couldn't anyone just make an excuse when they had no intention of ever going and only wanted to help someone out?

Anyone go to ‘ZOOTS’ before the match?
???
Aye, late 80s. Excellent! Can remember one day pre a West Ham visit when someone just shouted "West Ham!" to give the false impression that some West Ham fans had came in. Whole place went up with no one to actually fight. People chucking pint glasses towards the entrance etc. Mad.

Scallies at Manors station early 80s
Am sure I remember the away fans being escorted along Blackett St, past Eldon Square green? Hard to believe looking back.

Ah cheers mate that could well explain it. We're in LWC level 4.
Very same happened to me and my daughter for a cup game in the very same section last season. In the run up to the game we were baffled by how the seat Nos suggested we were sat apart but it all became clear when we got in there. Seats were together.

Anyone go to the Abbey Stadium for the away with Cambridge United in 1992 when we won 2-0 and Kilcline marked Dion Dublin out of the game?
Bit of a surprise result IIRC. Wasn't there but went the following year when i think we won 3-0. Must have been promotion season, glory hunter that i am

171 - with 50/92 for the current football league clubs.
Aye, it's class. I'm an unashamed anorak when it comes to stuff like this. Completed the 92 at Forest Green v Salford last month. Did about 60 odd grounds with the Toon then when i temporarily chucked my ST and was at a loose end i thought i'd try and do the rest. Had some fantastic days out at random places.

Mackem at work reckons we will be lucky to get a point in our CL group. It's amazing what a 5 nil win and a bad run for us does for their confidence!
This coming from someone whose club has played about 2 European ties in its history.

Was at the Blue Star game away v Yarm & Eaglescliffe yesterday. Played at Billingham Towns' ground, Blue Star went 3-0 up before Y & E pulled one back with about 20 mins left. I had to be at a doo last night so left 10 mins from the end to catch an earlier train. After hearing what sounded like muffled cheers i checked my phone and it was 3 each. Incredibly Y & E won it 4-3. A sickener for the Star at the end of a very difficult week. What a game though.
