Fucking hell!! Reading that, I'm wondering whether anybody has replied to say something along the lines of "that's a bit much", but then it shows that 24 of them appear to think that it's clever or funny. Thicker than a castle wall.

Think it'll be Lee Johnson who was probably their manager at the time.

Pull slider to 3:23:00, that's just before his call. I know, had it on in the background this morning and I was proper buckled when he just blurted it out

BBC Radio Newcastle 3 hours 23 minutes in, NUFC fan gets through to competition this morning to win tickets for mackems v Millwall. Not sure what's funnier - his answer, or the fact that his call meant that they ran out of time so couldn't give the tickets away in the end.

I was surprised, it was on the digital board on the platform that no alcohol is permitted. Got on the train and everyone is ignoring it, guard has just been through checking tickets and hasn't challenged anyone so doesn't look like staff on this train are enforcing it.

Travelling down on the 2pm train, bought some beers in advance only to arrive at platform and see that all trains are dry.

Van Dijk made a right arse of that, get in!

Doing the same, suspect there'll be a stack of NUFC staying in Watford. Looks like the Overground is running as normal and that's about half an hour to get to Wembley Central from Watford High Street, although there's a closure on the evening between Kilburn High Road and Euston which might need some planning around for anyone who wants to use the Overground to get back to Watford from Central London on the Sunday evening.

Cheers! Appreciate that everyone will be standing anyway, regardless.

We're in row 2, so by the sounds of your post we've actually got seats in front of safe standing, not in the standing area itself. Still delighted.

That was stressful as fuck like. Every time I selected two seats together they came up as already taken. I resorted to fucking about in the upper bowl out of sheer stress, then payment wouldn't go through. Then my mate rang to say he'd got two together in safe standing, and that was only 15 minutes ago. Not sure how he managed it, but absolutely buzzing.

The lad I'm getting tickets with has a much better place in the queue, but is on his mobile in an area with shit signal so I'm not going anywhere.

14,000 in queue, dear me!

There was some discussion about it, yes. One incredibly optimistic soul predicted 30k.

Shirt with star as part of design here's a link to the final version of the shirt on Ebay. Probably the best version of it to go on general sale. The shirt was quite often also match worn with McEwan's Lager as the sponsor (mostly away), but I don't think that version was ever released on general sale.
