Yeah, I know what you mean. Top flight football seems to unanimously pretty wank these days.

Tremendous stop from Moan there

3,221 in

well I hope you can get up once or twice man, it's great to see it coming on how it is

It's only a couple of hours man

Much more of a game than they usually got last season but they still look comfortable and composed. Jas McQuade still working her arse off, clearly finding it tougher to beat her (wo)man than she did but still right at the heart of the intensity in midfield. Lumsden looks great, I wasn't convinced last year but she's really come on. Striker isolated as is traditional for nufc, but we've looked pretty good I reckon.

You lads are going to have to just start coming along if you can like

Demi Stokes still a really classy player like

Black and white and red and white shouldn't be allowed like

@O Neill

Allocated seating now as well. Wish they'd said at the box office, I would have gone for the stand

Can't buy tickets at the West stand door any more, got to go to the ticket office now. Seems pretty busy for an hour before kick off.

Oh Ange

It's only a game Rodri man

I think they just about had it up and running by the end of last season to be fair Anybody going on Sunday? I haven't bought a ticket but I'll be passing by anyway so I'll see if I can get in suspect the crowds from the end of last season might have dwindled back to the couple of thousand that were routinely going. I still owe you a pint @Stifler

I find it mildly irritating that Gordon gets the deserved plaudits he does while this lad toils away apparently unappreciated

Barnes get in Proper, proper love him like

Rothbury today for a change, Northern Alliance Division 1 vs. Benfield Reserves. They're my actual local team that I could just about walk to go and see. Shouldn't have left it so long

Literally split seconds of good bits which have to make you question what happened immediately before and after I never minded the lad and he took a hell of a penalty at Blackburn but I never saw him as likely to make any step up from where he was. I hope he does well, seemed a good pro. I don't think we really had a choice but to let him go given the shit way football works these days.

That'll dee

Nearly disastrous from Cooper who's played ok otherwise

Stokes is still top class like

Mackems getting tortured by the sounds

We're doing very canny for a first game in the league away to one of the favourites as you say we've got to be less gung ho because we're still pretty slow at the back but it's really a feature of how they play, it won't be natural to them to sit deeper.
