  1. Calendar would be great... Book not so...
  2. Just says he's been injured... Could be in squad for Spurs...
  3. Mattypnufc is spot on... There is no tie in which is why it was always a no-brainer to sign up... Cancel your DD in feb allows you to watch the full season as you've effectively paid for all the games... Cancel it before Feb and access to the ground will be cancelled...
  4. was a f***ing shambles, the whole stewarding through the game. They're still incapable of hosting this game without the risk of people getting hurt. Hopefully they go down and end up with more manageable 20k crowds. That said the brainless bunch of 20 lads who caused the crush outside turnstile 71 allegedly to try and rush the turn styles because some of them didn't have tickets want to take a long look at themselves too. That's where I was, heard a few without tickets went over like, infact you could tell in the ground as the stairs were f***ing chocker. Heard about that, how bad was it? Loads of people around me got in without tickets, it was absolutely rammed. Anyone could have walked in without a ticket. The fire exit doors were opened once the turnstile was broke. Worst thing about the away down there is knowing you're going to get crushed 3 times - once at Central, again at the turnstiles and again at St Peters on the way back. Horrible, horrible feeling. At one point on Sunday I was lifted off the floor and was kept in the air being crushed inbetween two blokes. One day, there'll be a death at a derby game because the police escorts are shambolic. Well... All i can say is i feel very lucky to still be able to walk today as i was one of the ones crushed... My knee is swollen and bruised... Calf is done in... Ribs sore... Back hurts... Police brought us up far too late for people not to start panicking when they saw the crowds which were caused by all the turnstiles jamming... A steward was pressurised into open the side door but didn't move the wheelie bin out the way which toppled over and blocked the bottom of the door (only one would open as the other jammed and started to buckle under the pressure)... Everyone charged from the back to get through a single door not being able to see the bin was in the way... I got my leg jammed between bin and wall and span 180 degrees and almost had the life squeezed out of me... Possibly one if not thee scariest moment in my life... The game just passed me by to be honest... SAFC rang me back today after leaving them a message yesterday... They are aware of the events but tried to distance themselves as you'd expect... I might not let this one drop so easy... It was disgraceful...
  5. The offer is much appreciated. That's standard procedure as far as I am concerned. Aye, it's standard as f***, just some decide to miss out. No worries... Night obviously = weekend if needed...
  6. The last few leave around 12.14 onwards... So no later...
  7. Always up for a bit of socialising... Can probably put a couple of people up for the night for those not local who might need accommodation...

  10. Still got a spare ticket for this... Tough choices ahead... Might just flip a coin...
  11. I'll have a coach on... I normally just drive so I get to choose the music... ...and make a weekend of it seeing the sights... Just doing grounds this year I've not been to before with The Hawthorns being one of them...
  12. "It eventually stopped and we went off to the 24-hour McDonalds..."

    Gateshead FC

    They already do, £9 for NUFC ST holders. Cheers... Out of interest how much is full price!?... I'm guessing more than a tenner!?...

    Gateshead FC

    I'd consider going if they move the ground opposite the Civic Centre as planned... They should look to give discounts to NUFC ST holders... That could boost the numbers and generate some interest... As it stands it's too expensive to support one football team let alone two...
  15. Isn't that figure distorted by how many 'fans' were arrested after the Sunderland, the majority of whom the police confirmed had not even attended the match? That's what i was thinking... I think 130 got pinched that day so that would leave us mid-table at the 45 mark... The data seems to include 29 arrests from the Sunderland match. [Newcastle United recorded the highest number of arrests with 175 during the 2012-13 Premier League season - 114 of these being for violent disorder. Earlier this year football supporters clashed with police resulting in 29 arrests after a match between Newcastle and Sunderland in which Newcastle lost 3-0. The violence which included a fan punching a police horse was described by one officer as "the worst rioting I have seen in the city centre in decades."] http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/oct/09/football-related-arrests-by-club-offence http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-united-top-premier-league-6164147 According to this the majority were made at the derby match with only 15 being made at away games...
  16. The club doesn't make any money from food and drink game to game... MA outsourced the contract iirc so just gets a fixed figure per season i believe...

    Loïc Remy

    Doesn't sound like there is a water tight deal in place... @nufcfans: Remy on his future in tomorrow's @TheJournalSport - "enjoying like" @ #NUFC but taking it one step at a time http://t.co/pYLHhHDThV
  19. It's a very hot day here down in Cardiff... Wonder if it will be AP's final game...
  20. Arrived in Cardiff... Quite impressed so far...

    Alan Pardew

    Pardew confirms Goodison summit During Thursday afternoon's pre-match press call, United boss Alan Pardew admitted that a post-match meeting took place at Goodison Park on Monday night between himself, Mike Ashley and JFK: "It's important to go to see the owner after a game like that and make sure that we know where we are coming from. "We had a good meeting after - me, Mike and Joe - just to make sure we know exactly what is going on on the pitch and what's going on in terms of the results. "There was nothing untoward there." The phrase "vote of confidence" wasn't aired. from NUFC.Com a few moments ago...
