not rumours afaik mate the lass was from Crammy and gets (a lot of) child support from him

Aye I work with a few they’re genuinely self deprecating funny lads in my experience and whimsy they’d love to beat us don’t take it or themselves too seriously. I actually don’t know many mackems and whilst I hate the football team would prob have better crack on holiday with a lad from Ryhope than say Reading.

the first question is a bit too late for the Trust to be asking its membership on now tbf as Brian Blessed was consulted by the club before they decided on the criteria. I don’t disagree with the process the club went with but that’s not the point. Hurst et al are meant to represent their membership directly imho not be appointed to make decisions based on their superior merit. FWIW @Greg I feel for you , you do a good job from what I see but some if the board lack your integrity and desire to represent the fan base for the greater good rather than their own self interest / social media profile.

Add Maine Road to that list. Old grounds in less than salubrious areas with lots of rat runs made it easy to ambush visiting fans

I think with Arsenal a lot if their tickets when the Emirates opened were bought by sporting tours groups etc who then struggled to sell on the tickets for games as perceived as unglamorous. The wearysiders cause is unlikely to be the same.

Keith Barrett has returned to attending matches which is great to see - lots of people will have find memories of toon travel trips in the 90s and early 2000s before the incident at Hull away that led him to get banned and then walk away.

Fuck off mate . Tbf even if you think it was a pen VAR would have given us a free kick on the edge of their box in the build up .. mebbes

must have been a Coventry fan who’s snuck in

I was there and it was very good but I’d say West Brom away in the FA cup just before the Covid lockdown was better

The annoying thing about “who’s tgsf team is we only sing the one verse” we don’t sing the Joe Harvey went on holiday bit or bringing on the “Spaniards by the score”. I used ti like my old man and Frank clerk knas my father. the spontaneity seems to have gone. I remember being at Zulte Waregem away and our whole end singing Gloria Gaynors “I will survive” after it had started to be played at the end of the half time break and when the dj stopped playing we all carried on acapella! Drink had been taken…

Aye a lot of the posh school wallers were in there. I had the misfortune to be sent a video of a TF live event. One kid on there (who presumably had a ticket)) had never been to Newcastle..

covid memories or was that big jow?

I used to find him annoying but his naivety is canny heartwarming tbf. Wait till he gets to go to Europe…

Gan up the road to st Ts ?

may as well byo the lager they sell is carlsberg isn’t it used to be Stella :-(

Only northbound after the game mate. Was the same in 1999 and tbh it causes more aggro than prevents. Feel sorry for the staff who have to try to enforce it. 98% of people behave whatever the result.

lner used to only have free drink with first class offer mon-fri so you might be disappointed

yes this only dry after 7pm northbound on Sunday.

he’s on a charter not an LNER service. Assume you booked after 1st leg or possibly even earlier?

Neek popes family (sorry..)

That camera was distracting (for the match attending fans) imho anyway.

Forest drew with citeh… footbaals football bring these cuntz on. Howayy

generally though I prefer watching the match (if I’m not going which isn’t often so I’m not the best judge) out of town - wallsend high st, chilli road, gosforth high st, 3 mile, lochside (Cochran park) piper (RHF/ fawdon) , jubilee (coxlodge) black bull (Benton), Windsor (kinky park) etc.

I watched a match in fyeo by the station once - big screen and alternative entertainment if we get beat…

I only realised the younguns have removed the “you” when I read it on here. But then on listening I picked up on it - it’s wrong and imho diminishes what the songs about
