Yawn. Doesn't even create a temptation to prepare the Kleenex even though mother is at work today and I have the house to myself. It'll just be someone with a few quid going on their summer holiday to the millionaires playground that is the Cote d'Azur. I prefer Workington, but each to their own.

Assume so There was issues with the site this morning so that could explain why you got kicked out

Same age as most of their “youth firm” who are regularly causing hassle for away fans

It's a farce. Enter via the ballot: Ballot entry button not working Choose category 1,2 or 3. But we still don't know which parts of the ground relate to which category. Can we at least have an up to date stadium plan ? IMPORTANT: Tickets can be allocated in any available category, and so if successful the total price of your application may vary. Prices shown are the maximum per price ticket. So why choose a category ? Could I end up paying £77 when I only wanted to pay £47 ? If you're unsuccessful in the 1st ballot there's a 2nd ballot. When ? How ? Will I be given a new category ? Could I end up paying £77 when I only wanted to pay £47 ? And ticket prices have been ramped up again too, a very stealthy approach. @Greg I know you've already spoken to the club about fan concerns prior to Villa tickets, I assume all of this new shambles is being documented and will be raised again ? My direct queries to Supporter Services just got a copy n paste generic response about "making the ticketing process fairer for all after the fan consultation groups"

It doesn't matter what place you are for this, it's a ballot entry that's open for 2 days so not first come, first served.

Subtle, very subtle. I like the cut of your jib

As someone who despises Man Utd I can say with complete confidence that every contentious decision that goes their way is a direct result of of corruption and bias

If you believe those halfwits, NUFC fans in County Durham and South Tyneside are like those perodical cicadas that lay dormant most of their lives only to emerge and swarm every 15 years

I'd be a devasted man if the roles had been reversed. Watching them making huge strides whilst we languished in the doldrums with nothing to cling to but our hatred of their existence. It'd be soul destroying.

Most can't even get the words or speed of Blaydon Races right, so expecting people to realise that Roma aren't Champions League is just pissing in the wind

Fair comment, but it also takes a large amount of balls / pints to stand up and sing if you find yourself sitting in a quiet area wishing the atmosphere was better. More likely to get told to sidoon an shurrup than get people joining in. One of the reasons why I dislike being anywhere other than in the corner

where was you

Got to Strawberry Corner turnstiles just before 5, massive queue, finally got in just as the match kicked off. Shambles. Noise from the corner was great as usual, haven’t extended the rails to the section I go in but most people still stand anyway. First game of season, late kick off, massive win, all the right ingredients for making a racket. It’s a shame if other parts of the ground were quiet. Hearing Style Council Headstart for Happiness at half time had my toes tapping. And no DJ Otzi was a highlight of the day for me.

Reckon the grey haired fella with the geps in the top left is blind ? If so, experiencing a game like that but in audio only must be wild

Standing in the corner is like being at different game Would hate to be anywhere else

More passing trade for Sven Adult Books if we move to the arena site

It’s DJ Otzi live on the hallowed turf isn’t it Kil iz

NUFC email addresses are easy to figure out A polite and constructive email to the relevant leadership highlighting concerns about the new ticketing system would make them aware that there are some unhappy fans Shy bairns get nowt, as the saying goes

If I hadn’t got a grown up ticket in the resale I’d deffo be going for one of them Yoot tickets Just sign my 14 year old up for legit membership and then pull the trigger Chances of a checky stopping someone on the first game of the season when digital tickets have just been introduced and it’s likely to be carnage at the turnstiles = slim to none

We've got a location that is amazing and should be coveted. But thanks to Ashley the stadium looks dated and shabby. e.g. most people have tellys in their living room that are bigger than the ones on our concourse. The Saudi's love shiny new building and infrastructure projects (see NEOM) and will want a stadium that compares favourably to other top teams. So I think it's inevitable we're getting an upgrade, just where and how are the questions.

is it feasible that the feasibility study will take so long that it leaves the atmosphere ?

I reckon some of the commercial thinking must be about how they can get people in the stadium for longer and spending more money, when the stadium is in a city centre location and competes with loads of bars and food options. I think classic pattern is get into ground no more than 15 mins before KO, skull a pint of minging lager, battle through the queues for another pint of minging lager at half time, leave straight after. Maybe have a pie. If the stadium has a decent food and drink offer you might get people going in earlier or staying after. But still not sure how much draw it would have over the city centre boozers and bait places. Bit of a conundrum.

Bit of a contrast after watching Premier Passions y'day Was an interesting insight, not much we didn't know already but it's for a wider audience, not people who live and breathe Newcastle Would have been interesting to have a fly on the wall crew knocking about whilst Ashley & Charnley set about destroying the club from within, then see how that compared to the professionalism of the new leadership

Aye, my mam said that happened to her too
