1 room mate? PM me if preferred.

We could also arrange for a Friday-Tuesday hotel stay... 4 night trip for people, which would cover a Monday night game.

Thanks mate. I've already checked and got about 200 hotels in the Newcastle area on a spreadsheet. I'll reach out to each of them and agree some flexibility, so we're not stung. The link is really useful. A mid November game will be confirmed mid September? That gives our lads 6 weeks to book their flights...

Right, here goes... Meeting you all has definitely given me an incentive to try and put together a bigger, longer and better 'event' later this year. This time, it'd be nice to see more of you and give you all more time to make travel plans and request leave from work (especially the lads flying in from the US). With that all said, I'm planning on reaching out to the club and requesting the reservation of X tickets to a home game in October or November 2023. This will mean we can sit together at SJP and not have the fear of getting tickets, or not. Speaking to some of you, there was interest in staying in the same hotel (we can book multiple rooms and get cheap rates) and turning the event into a long weekend. That can include those coming from around the UK, and further afield. In addition to the hotel and game, I'd attempt to arrange several activities (short trip to Whitley Bay, crazy golf, interactive darts, go karting etc) and drinks at different bars and meals out during every evening. Essentially, three of four days of fun and content. So who would be interested in reserving a place? No obligation by registering intent to come, but if there's any chance of you attending please register. Please comment back with... Interested: Yes People: 1/2/3/4 Ticket: Yes/No* Hotel: Yes/No (include number of rooms) Weekend Food: Yes/No Weekend Activities: Yes/No Dates you cannot attend: *understand that you may have a season ticket. This will give me an idea how many tickets to request, how many rooms we need and how many heads there are for activities and food, drinks etc. Blaze

Cheers Mike ?

@Mike @cubaricho @Ameritoon @Deuce I guess I could organise something for Oct/Nov 2023 and try and get 50 tickets to a home game in the same block. Gives you guys chance to save, book leave from work and for everyone to meet this time! You guys want it, I'll try organise it and we can take over a floor of a hotel, too. Let's do a long weekend, rather than a day...

He's better at navigating maps than @Super Duper Branko Strupar took him 45 mins to get to the twenty twenty bar ?

I apologise in advance to those I've got wrong or left off. Remembering names pissed is trickier than taking payment, it seems...

Definitely to get his Mike tattoo with the flag ?

Back in the Strawberry ?

Might have to do it couple times of year, cup finals or not...

I only realised after the event I wasn't in the fucking thing

Better than trying to punch one outside of All Bar One!!

Aye but they're paying for it today...

So who's planning the European night out?...

What time did you call it a night mate?

Whole family enjoyed it buddy. Well, those that can remember it ?

What a day and night..! My lass and dad were totally done for 10pm. I think @Dokko had the best description of my dad's state ? His fault for trying to shift 8 points before kick off and it backfired. The better half decided she wanted to take on 2 bottles of prosecco and she was well and truly gone. Thanks @gdm for keeping them company With my Dad and lass back to their rooms and my mam already 2 bottles of prosecco, 3 gins and 3 cocktails in, she decided to go out with the final group. @Shak @Mike @Pata then finally @Super Duper Branko Strupar @Disco and @Convict What a lunatic Thanks to everyone who made it so special. Too many names to mention. Loved meeting you all.
