I think the key to all of it, which you’ve more or less pointed out, is to get like-minded (maybe like-behavioural is a better phrase) folk together one way or another. Exactly how you go about that could be a bit of a minefield if you start having to forcibly relocate people, but that’s where the difficult decisions have to be made.

Good post. Accept your point about not having faith in NUST - but - they (along with Wor Flags to an extent) are the ones with the ear of the club. If you were to put the majority of what you’ve posted in an email (or other communication) to them, you never know. If there’s particular members you have an issue with go via one of the other ones. They are appear reasonably accessible via social media.

Ha! You are on one of them (briefly) singing away!

I’ve got some vids taken round that time. I can have a scan through to see if you’re on if let me know how to distinguish you (I’d ask what you were wearing but if it was a black and white top…)

*I don’t actually know the majority in the second pic, so apologies if you see yourself / your missus ?

Yeah, I was in the safe standing bit, as were a few others on here. It was fairly flat, but a few things to consider. It was 800-odd in a 90k stadium. The way the match played out , particularly the second goal, took the wind right out of everyone. There also seemed to be a strange feeling to the crowd. People were so, so happy to be there. I was speaking to one lad on the concourse before the match and he almost broke down in tears of happiness. It might have been a bit overwhelming in some respects, you’re kind of just taking it all in, then nothing really happens on the pitch to snap you out of it, and next thing you know you’re on your way home.

Matty Longstaff was about 3 or 4 rows in front of me at Wembley in a bucket hat and hoodie presumably to keep himself low-key. Also briefly sat next to Steve Harper on the tube who seemed to be with his kids.

Nah, going the other way! ? Newcastle - Belfast - Luton

Cherish it. If in future we get to where we think we’re going to get to, it’ll be great, but it’ll never be quite like this again. It’s truly the reawakening of a monster.

What if he never faces that club again?

Belfast Airport bar fan count via identifiable clothing (including me): NUFC 3-0 MUFC

Belfast Airport a lot quieter than Newcastle. Although the bar here does have a little robot that brings your food to the table.

Not sure if this is true but worth finding out

Nice buzz at the airport. Various bar staff wearing NUFC gear. Genuinely feels like a big occasion

You wonder how people think they are gonna get away with stuff when doing it on that kind of scale? If you’re still going down, you never know what you might come across in terms of tickets. Appreciate it’ll be near impossible for you to have any optimism on that score at the minute.

Sure you’re already on it but still worth getting as many of the 23 as possible to report it here: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Not so sure about Fernandes mind…

*Wembo

Suspect it’s the first and last time she ever tweets anything football related…

That would be a very strange thing to post if he was fine, having just beaten Barcelona. And he did come off for treatment just before he got subbed…

If you’ve got their details pass on all your communications to Club Wembley. See how much better the offer they have is then…

Looking forward to more of this over the next couple of days. Let the black n white migration commence!

Anyone started their travels yet?
