Must depend on who you buy off on DH Gate. Originally got the away 95-96 in my usual medium size, it was a bit tight so bought a large and it fits great. The review section usually tells you how many sizes up you need to go.

I know you can’t say for certain who is attending etc but the fact points are dropping further suggests many people who were buying them to pass on have stopped.

So the people complaining about people buying away tickets and not attending themselves are now buying tickets and not attending? But now the seats are empty rather than giving them to fans who have no other way of getting to away games. Unbelievable.

Yeah, I’m away with work, gutted!

Dates are possibly the worst for our group. Paris is looking most likely option but I’m guessing this will be the worst trip for ticketless fans?

So are we saying nowhere in the city serves alcohol on match day? Was thinking of going without a ticket, but being sober and ticketless is one step too far!

PSG home first would be the dream. Big atmosphere, get into them! Barca 97 all over again (OK maybe not quite)

They built it up as the big game it was, showed the first goal and then quickly moved on. Sums up the series i think!

Not going to lie, I've had both in my time

It’s there to be enjoyed, love it! Hopefully we can scrape 3rd place

Really glad to see the focus on Wor Flags and Graham in particular. I used to be on the same row as him in the Strawberry Corner and he is an absolute legend. For all the attention seekers on social media etc, it's great to see the folks who do things for all the right reasons get the spotlight. A great episode, Eddie's speech before the Man Utd game was a real highlight! But I still think there could have been more structure to the series as a whole. It just seems to wander off in all directions.

I thought these were a thing of the past for all clubs but just had a look and Adidas sell Man Utd shirts in long sleeves. Just hope we don't get designs as bad as that Man Utd away kit!

I think £40m sounds about right for now but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s lower. That said, we can guarantee any funds they pay us will free up FFP funds to strengthen the first team, a good incentive to back us.

IMO, those kind of loyalty points would have to be given if you’ve applied for the ballot not just if you’ve been successful. I’m 0 for 2 this season at home but wanted to go to both.

I also liked the old system where you applied for every away game you were willing to attend. If you missed out, you still got a point, allowing you to build up enough to start actually having a chance at tickets.

Fair enough, but if you’ve been to 20 aways in 7 years surely you wouldn’t begrudge those who’ve been away more on that time priority over tickets?

Honest question, what would be the cons to this system, say over a rolling 7 year period?

I heard that there was a break clause in the contract after three years. This came indirectly through an employee of Castore. I’ve quite liked the designs of Castore but the quality of the training kits is awful with the crappy iron on badges etc. Customer service, the state of the club shop etc. also makes this a good move. Another step in the right direction!

At the same time you’re using one example to argue the case that you don’t on balance get favourable treatment from referees. It’s been going on for years, particularly at Old Trafford. Same for Liverpool in recent seasons.

A new stadium is most likely IMO. The Saudis aren’t here to mess around. Giving us a stadium as good as any in the league would a long way to cementing us amongst the elite. They’ll be playing it cautious because they know fans are attached the SJP and they’ll need the council on board with any plans.

Get yourself on DH Gate. Easy to use, just go a size up.

New membership rules: £44 cheapest seats, can't choose where you sit, if enter have to be willing to pay for top level seats if allocated, fans feeling detached etc etc.

Never give up on your dreams kids ?

Away fans used to be in that corner of L7, so I think it must be 3k Leazes L7 and 3k in corner of L7. If we extend the Gallowgate in the same way we’d also get more seats in the equivalent of Leazes L4 corner (2k ish) which is why most people think mirroring the Leazes in the Gallowgate will bring us to approx 60k capacity

Newcastle training stuff is terrible quality. Iron on badges and sponsors that peel off. Can’t wait til we get rid.
