Nah, rearranged after being postponed when the queen died. Had a soft spot for St Mirren for years after a visit in the 80s. I'm really hoping he doesn't play tomorrow night. After that I wish him well of course.

I'm up there in the St Mirren end tomorrow night. Paid £27. Anyone know how long it's likely to take for him to get his international clearance?

This is possibly where some arseholes I know give me the "told you so" for not holding onto my ST and subsequently losing my points. I have it back but minus the points.

When Bournemouth went down, was that the season Villa (god I hate them) would have went down if it wasn't for a incredibly rare Hawkeye goal line decision failure v Sheffield United too?

The Rochdale squad in Spoons on the quayside Saturday night. Must have just arrived for their Xmas night out cos they were still in their padded club coats.

Good that. Addictive.

Can remember a huge toon contingent in there in 85 too. No one laid a finger on them.

I have a work mate who's originally from Kings Lynn. They did alright 1st half of todays game then fell apart after HT. Kings Lynn that is, not my work mate.

The sight of that surfer yesterday was simply spine tingling. Well done work flags..again. Keep up the great work.

So near yet so far. Lot of miles to go and money to be spent. Sutton, Gillingham, Exeter, Forest Green and Coventry left. Bit frustrating cos been to Coventrys old Highfield Road but not their current home. Forest Green looks a twat to get to despite being relatively near to Bristol. Plans to move too so depending on the timescale might put it to the back of the list so as I don't have to do it twice. It's a bit of a moving target with Everton and Luton at least planning moves in the next few years. Have some great days out at random places though.

Sutton v Salford this Saturday. Train service permitting anyway. Ground No 88 of 92 for me. Looking forward to it. Timed it well to take advantage of this offer too. https://www.suttonunited.net/news/2022/september2/calling-premier-league-and-efl-season-ticket-holders/

aye showing my age there.

Love watching him when things take a bad turn. Loved the bit where he says "At Sunderland the shit always hits the fan but i thought we'd bought a big new fan, with no shit on"

40years ago today that KK debut for NUFC v QPR according to nufc.com. What a day man. The stuff of dreams at the time. Couldn't believe this absolute superstar had signed for us, 2nd division, been shite for years Newcastle.

Yes but 22 years ago in the FA cup 6th round. There were about 4 of us in one of the stands along one of the touch lines. Quite pissed and not particularly undercover or quiet. Was ok that day but obviously on another day might be completely different. I think you'll be ok if you keep a low profile.

Again their lack of self awareness comes to the fore. Trying to laugh about a defeat in Europe while forgetting they've only played 2 or 3 European games in their history.

If you'd feel happier parking at the metrocentre this X50 'soccer bus' has been running for years. Assuming the same goes this season. https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/nufcbuses

I agree. These questions need to be put to the new owners. Maybe we need to bring back the forums where fans would meet people from the club once a month or whatever. There used to be someone from the box office iirc, disability representatives etc.

Rightly or wrongly it's been a perk of paying your money up front for a ST for as long as i can remember. An incentive when they were less sought after. Let's face it, any one of us could have bought a ST over the years and had the same benefit but chose not to. I understand why people didn't and i understand why people gave their ST up under MA because i did the very same. It's an unfortunate catch 22. Many stayed away/gave up ST tickets to bring about change but now that change has come about they are having to watch it from afar. Unfortunately in the eyes of the club my previous 29 years of having a ST and having built up loads of loyalty points count for nothing now that i've had a gap between owning a ST. Away games are practically no go for me anymore and again in the eyes of the club someone who did 3 away games during Ashleys' awful later years is more deserving than myself.

Not a member but curious. Will NUST ask the important questions on behalf of the fans? Eg fairness of ticket distribution has been talked about in here a lot recently. Should we sell more season tickets/keep more for individual matches? Should season ticket holders be able to buy a spare ticket? Is the loyalty point system fare or is it abused too easily and frequently? Is their another way to issue away tickets? I believe we finally have people in charge of the club who will listen to concerns and address them. I just hope the questions are put to them.

Ashley man. Even now he's gone he's left his legacy of a divided fan base. I know what you mean. I've got my ticket back now. Got it in the hope the takeover would actually happen after all the talk. Lost my 182 loyalty pts though when I gave it up when Rafa left. Still p*ss*ed off at that btw. "If Rafa goes we go". Well he went, I went but not as many as I'd hoped left with us considering we still had 40k + gates the following season. Anyway I can't get to away games unless I go cap in hand for help from others who I know feel inwardly smug and superior. 1st away game in 1982 and there are fans who went to a few away games in Ashleys final years that are, in the clubs' eyes at least, better qualified than me.

I did touch on the Ashley acceptance in my post and mention that I gave mine up after a lot of years.

I'll put me tin hat on here but some season ticket holders would argue being able to buy an extra ticket is reward for spending thousands of pounds over the years through some shit seasons while some just fancy it since the takeover. I'm not talking about Ashley acceptance here either because many have been ST holders for decades and pre Ashley. Personally I chucked my ST when Rafa left, after having it for 29 years before anyone accuses me of thinking I'm holier than thou.

Will we end up with so many members that they outnumber the tickets available and some will still miss out?
