@HaydnNUFChow did it go?

Nope. I was literally pointing at the bars saying “what do you think they’re here for?!” It was like being in a Roman Coliseum - trying to explain to a baying crowd Utterly pointless and hopeless. There was 3 of us out of the entire block, second row from the front. The taps on the back and the shouting was just ridiculous. And then when we had the penalty - and everyone around us in that block continued to sit down - I was just like - what is the point in this? £44 a ticket man. Close to giving up on it all tbh. Waste of time and money. Not an enjoyable experience at all.

You’ll get an essay from me ?

Yep. Ended up having loads of abuse so ended up sitting down, as I couldn’t be arsed. I was in an overwhelming minority. Another blunder of the ballot btw. I was really excited to be in safe standing today btw. Turns out plenty of fans don’t agree. They were sat down for the penalty ffs.

Worst I’ve ever experienced today. 30 mins to get in. I was in Level 7 standing section and repeatedly told to sit down. Don’t even recognise the fan base any more.

Tbf - not sure how Phil Brantingham is getting tickets.

?

Called this over a year ago. Cba to find the post.

I don’t even have any skin in the game as I’m only a member. Mental

Got offered a spot for the away tickets… Really think I’m going to have to stand up and say something as opposed to their shite box ticking exercise

The Royal Arcade was taken down brick by brick, and numbered to be rebuilt. And they ‘lost’ the numbers apparently and couldn’t rebuild it. A lot of the stones are in Heaton Park and littered around Byker, Walker I think. I’m sure @manorpark will confirm

Did I just hear the Andy Cole song? Louder than we can ever manage it

You applied? And didn’t get it!

Hmmmm. This is an interesting point… Wembley MK 2? https://x.com/limbssunderland/status/1743580521513251031?s=46&t=vdsN_AHh11-g3YCkSAx-2g

Agreed. Gallowgate atmosphere is a total myth. Strawberry Corner makes it seem better than it actually is. Leazes was always the original ‘end’ for Newcastle anyway. Imagine the top of Level 4 corner in the Leazes stretching up to Level 7? Now that would be class.

Always an excuse for the atmosphere being shit. ?

First defeat at home this season.

Plenty leaving early. Wankers

Probably could have sold him for £25-£30m last season. ?

Howe’s game management at times can be a tad frustrating. But other than that, I honestly cannot believe people are genuinely discussing an alternative. Also. Just a timely reminder that, around half a year ago, I said Mourinho would be given the job when Howe hit a bad run of form. Be careful what you wish for and all that jazz.

The middle tier is probably an average age of 60. Many will have had season tickets there since 94.

Plenty of the YouTube brigade on here. Is that how some get their tickets?

Very hard to win a ballot for 4 tickets together…

Unlimited memberships and equal chance on a ballot with no hierarchy allows this
