No they get first pick of lower bowl tickets after current lower bowl ST holders have had a window to take up their own seat.

They have. Level 7 is a free for all like it was in the last round.

The season ticket holders I know who are in Level 7 prefer the view up there. Think they should be allowed the choice of whether they buy there own seat or move to the lower bowl. I could understand if they were only expecting 30k but its going to be a sell out. It's probably the last think that Ashley implemented that's still ongoing. Before he arrived L7 was always opened up for Cup games regardless of the attendance. He closed it because he didn't see the cups as serious competitions.

The last round sold out over 2 weeks before the fixture was played!

Just released another 400 seats in the centre of the East Stand.

Tickets were dirt cheap like. Cost us £7 for me, wor las and the bairn!

We got our tickets as soon as they went on sale at the beginning of last month (East Stand right on halfway) and the Milburn Stand wasn't on sale then. Had a look at the hospitality and noticed it was only in the Directors Box and then seen the photos this week of the Platinum Club being refirbished so just assumed the Milburn was being left empty, excluding the Directors Box. Good if it is already sold out like. Takes away from the occassion a bit looking over at an empty Stand.

Got tickets for this. Never been to a womens match before and with NUFC being a lower league team I'm not expecting much in terms of quality but it'll just be nice to be inside SJP again. We've got tickets in the East Stand. Assume the Milburn is closed for this one with the refurbishments going on. Would be fantastic if they could get 30k like.

Still don't understand why they just can't open the whole stadium up from the start. This isn't Mike Ashleys NUFC anymore, this game is a guaranteed sell out.

Profiteering from Saudi blood money the dirty hypocritical bastards.

RTG will be pleasant this afternoon.

Wow!!!

Lovely finish. They've played some nice football and really made a game of it when they could have sat back and used spoiling tactics.

The lack of consistensy here is absolutely infuriating.

He's a horrible bitter old bastard. Not sure how he still gets airtime.

Remember years ago we played them down at their place (pretty sure it was the Dabizas 1-0 game). We'd been down there and got back into town and naturally stayed out celebrating all night. We came out of Ram Jams singing away and in good spirits and inexplicably there was a mackem stood outside. Not wearing colours obviously but he didn't take kindly to us still celebrating and a few words were exchanged. He took a swing at me which luckily I anticipated and managed to dodge and just as I was about to throw one back at him, one of the doorman who was obviously more skilled in the art of combat than I, got in first and put him straight on his arse with a massive haymaker! Turned round to us and said "go on get down the road we'll sort him out". They used to enjoy booting troublemakers down the alley separating Ram Jams from Steam back then so I assume that was his fate that night. To this day the only mackem I've ever encountered in the Bigg Market.

My experience of Darlington, having worked there for several years, is that there's more Newcastle fans there than Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Darlington combined. Felt like a home from home in that regard!

Just don't open nor contribute to the thread would be a better idea. Some of us still enjoy laughing at them and pointing out their hypocrisy.

And another one jumps the fence to the black and white side!

That Dangernonce on RTG is taking the news of their trying to get in bed with Saudi particularly badly. He's literally just repeating the same thing over and over again now An absolute broken man!

Is that an explosion I've just heard down on Wearyside there? That's the game up for them then. Let's sit back and laugh at their next line of attack!

Don't get me wrong, by all accounts he was the main instigator in the trouble so got what he deserved and hopefully he'll think better of it next time as a result of what happened, but he was lying on the ground, his mates had ran off and left him. It was over then.

It wasn't good to see and isn't representative of the way the vast majority of NUFC fans behave but there's some context to this story. The lad who was punched to the ground was part of a bigger group of Chelsea troublemakers who had chased a group of younger Newcastle fans (teenagers) up Barrack Road towards the Black Bull. A group of older Newcastle fans who were drinking in there/standing outside confronted the Chelsea fans and when the Newcastle group were clearly coming out on top the Chelsea group ran off back down Barrack Road. Unfortunately that one lad didn't get away in time and was knocked to the ground. Absolutely deplorable kicking someone when they were clearly defenceless at that point but was good to see the Newcastle fans protecting him in the end and hopefully he wasn't too badly hurt. Sadly this is becoming a more regular occuremce post COVID. That's 3 home League games in a row (Crystal Palace seemed to pass without incident) where there's been disorder outside the ground.

It's fine to only do business or play sport with them, but being owned by them is very wrong. Got to admit it's pretty funny like. As if we didn't have enough to laugh at them about

The gift that keep on giving We couldn't wish for better local "rivals!"
