Went to Workington a few years ago when they played Benfield in the FA Cup. Cracking old school ground, fans were very passionate as well.

"Average" Premier League teams don't qualify for the Champions League 2 years out of 3, nor are they the League Cup holders. Unsure what Diaz value has to do with Isak either. In summary, whoever posted that nonsense is thicker than a castle wall.

Gutted that I did! It'll be my last.

Let me know how you find it mate. Thinking of going over there when they play Berwick later in the season with it being fairly local.

Newcastle United vs. Liverpool: 25/08/25 @ 20:00 (Sky Sports)
Wallsendmag replied to HaydnNUFC's topic in Football
Extra gutted about my ballot fail for this one like. Just have to make do with shouting and swearing at the telly instead. -
The seats are empty. And there's lots of them as well. And it's not like it's just either side of HT or near FT where there could be a plausible explanation. They were empty all match.
-
You have. Between the photo's that me and you have put up of the same stand there's about 400/500 empty seats and that's just one part of one stand let alone the other 3 which had plenty of empties as well. Admittedly that was probably your biggest League crowd in the best part of a decade but to suggest that it was anywhere near full is laughable given the photographic evidence here.
-
Aye he's fucked up like. He's even posted photos of 2 blocks of empty seats himself on top of the photo of all the empty seats I posted. Crowd looks a genuine 40/41k rather than the pretend 40k crowds they were pulling in last season which were actually 30k.
-
A fan stood up celebrating will cover the seat they're in, the seat behind, and possibly the seat behind that depending on the rake of the stand and the size of the person. The photo I provided from the 53rd minute with all fans seated gives an arrurate account of the swaithes of empty seats.

I listed it as a good pub

They're fucking brilliant pubs, especially midweek. Great for people watching. Beer always spot on as well. Too many snobs on here like

Tbf any local paying over £6 a pint in Newcastle has a screw loose. Lot's of Newcastle pubs like The Percy, Three Bulls, Rose & Crown, Hotspur, Clock, Beehive, Black Garter, Magpie, Canny Lad etc offer many pints for less than half that, and that's before you consider the Five Swans, Milecastle and other Wetherspoons offerings. If you want to ponce around Grey Street you'll find plenty of places who'll happily take £6 off you for a pint of ale that generally won't be as good as the aforementioned pubs in my experience but it doesn't have to be that way.

Was a photo doing the rounds on twitter of big blocks of empty seats, the pictures were taken off TV and the clock was showing the 53rd minute so couldn't be explained by it being at the end of the match or right either side of HT. It's a good crowd but fact is a lot of them are only there for the Premier League, not for Sunderland. They played 23 home league games last season, not a single sell out and they had some very sparse crowds at times, especially midweek.

Bloody hell! It's different level over there mind! Won't be the same without the Ultras mind.

I'm 100% certain it's agent driven. Supposedly he's a bit of a wide boy anyway and I can't even imagine the amount of commission he'd be in for if his star client moved for £120m or so but you've also got to remember Isak is a 26 year old man. He's not an impressionable kid. If he's happy to stay and play for Newcastle United ultimately he has the final say. I mean even if he wanted to leave I'd accept it. Players come and go, it's the nature of the game, and as much as I despise them Liverpool are a step up on us, but there's a right and wrong way of going about it. Still remember how devastated I was when Beardsley left us for them in the 80s and even Carroll to a lesser extent (as I knew Ashley wouldn't reivest the cash) but nobody really held any bad will against them. If he ends up going there he'd deservedly get Owen levels of abuse because of how he's acted. He won't put in a transfer request and continue playing because it'll cost him £millions in loyalty bonuses. He's decided to just down tools refuse to play. He's a greedy cunt and a shithouse of a bloke. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

It was superb mate. It really was. We were in the "supporters end". A terrace with cup holders to rest your beer in attached to the crush barriers. Atmosphere started building a good half hour before KO and it just never let up for the full 90 mins. Really impressive and not what I expected at all tbh. Orlando were fantastic. If it had finished 7 or 8-1 Miami couldn't have had any complaints. Hit the post twice and missed a few other easy chances. Was a very high standard game and very entertaining although couldn't help noticing the likes of Suarez, Alba and Busquets becoming frustrated with their team mates as they weren't quite on the same wavelength. Officially it looked like Miami had around 300 or so supporters in the awat section with about another 4k or so dotted around the home sections. We received an email beforehand saying that we wouldn't be allowed entry if we wore anything Miami, Messi, Argentina, Barcelona or PSG related because we were in the Ultras section, not taht we had any intention of anyway!

That's not their original club song though. It's was always "Let's all sing together"
