A quick glimpse at twitter and RTG would suggest that they are indeed, absolutely fewming about the banner and Mr Curry's ears will be burning in Milan. They'll take dozens of FTM banners along to Plymouth, Rotherham and the like but we take a one over to Milan and all hell breaks loose. They're so touchy these days.

Ah shite that's going to send them into meltdown isn't it.

From what I can gather everyone who thought the atmosphere was class was in the Gallowgate and everyone who thought it was shite was in the Leazes! As I've said I'd rather not go than sit in the Leazes (not including the NE corner).

And there shows another flaw in the randomly allocated seats in the ballot. People who'd prefer to sit put in standing sections whilst no doubt people who would prefer to stand being put in seated areas. Been said before but the whole ticketing system isn't fit for propose, for home and away games. The amount of empty seats now on display at both SJP and on the road is ridiculous when there's so many supporters locked out!

I was unsuccessful in the ballet again but on Friday around 40/50 tickets popped up on sale in the Leazes End level 4 block W. My disdain for that area of the ground meant I came back off the site without buying as I'd rather watch on TV than sit there. Obviously the first time I'm successful in the ballot that's exactly where they'll put me but just got to take my chances. Also noticed because of Brentford only having less than half the usual away allocation it gave almost 2k home fans the chance to sample the safe standing area up there and it looked like around 75% of them decided to sit down

Thought he did better 2nd half. In fact that applies to the whole team. 1st half I thought he was pretty anonymous.

Absolutely disgusting officiating today.

For such an experienced ref Pawson looks so far out of his depth it's scary. Just as well it hasn't been a difficult match to referee.

Strange comment.

They're clearly targeting Burn down our left hand side here. They look a bit sharper than we do. Ref been poor as well.

Must admit I'm relatively confident of getting tickets for this one.

I've gone for Category 3 for Man City for no other reason than I have a 0% success rate so far when choosing Category 2. Hopefully this is where my luck turns.

Honestly man

They'll never openly advertise it. Just a case of trying a few and chancing your luck. Typically it's usually pubs and clubs outside of the city centre where you have the best chance of finding somewhere showing it.

Not sure how it would work being in such close proximity to SJP. I know in the past people who've watched home games from inside Shearer's have said you can hear the roar of the crowd when we score a few seconds before getting to see it on the telly. Edited, just seen you said away games!

People will twist about anything these days. If it's not for you, don't go inside. It really is as simple as that. I wasn't a fan of the old Stack so wouldn't bother with this one but I reckon it'll prove to be pretty popular.

Have been a regular donator to these ever since they started up. Just a tenner here and a tenner there but haven't this season and I can only put it down to not being able to secure tickets anymore meaning I'm no longer part of it, nor can see their efforts anymore with my own eyes. I really need to snap out of it and get back to chipping in a few quid because as I've said before they are the best thing about Newcastle United!

South Korea.

Their 1st choice keeper on just over 700 quid a week man No wonder as soon as another club comes in for any of their players they want away.

Bit different to the San Siro or Dortmund though. They are truely iconic venues and are on most football fans bucket lists to visit. Bruges ground was a dump but it's arguably a nicer city to visit than Milan or Dortmund.

Aye we're going along to that one. A few of us (parents and kids) from the bairns football team going along. Cheap night out and hopefully some decent football on show.

I would have done it in my teens/20s without a doubt. Was always able to get tickets for any match back then though. In my mid 40s now and wouldn't entertain it going ticketless. Everyone's different though I suppose.

I'm like that now. Might be an age thing but I'm not all that arsed about just going along for the "experience" these days. The experience for me would be being inside the San Siro and Signal Igunda Park not watching in some pub somewhere.

This. As is always the case with Italian Ultras they'll stay well away from big crowds of NUFC fans amd target singles and smaller groups.

Just what we didn't want!
