“ Incroyable” surely

plus VAT I think - sure mine was £225. Compare that to Birminghams offering for us (which they’ve hiked up as it’s obviously a high profile game for them )2 course meal and free drink! I enjoyed it (the barracks) but as you say it wasn’t VfM - most of the people in there (those that I know) are small businesses putting it through the books rather than wealthy individuals.

I bought myself a ticket to the barracks as a birthday present. The next day the club rang me to see how I found it and would I like more corporate tickets. The lad on the phone was dead canny but I thought bit was telling it’s the only time the club have ever called me for feedback when I’ve had a ST for over 33 years and 400+ LP. They’re desperate to create a demand for hospitality that won’t be there until we’re winning silverware regularly (and even then we just don’t have the draw that London or NW clubs have). That’s not a bad thing imho (it makes us, us) but given restrictions it’s another thing that will impede our rise to the top.

They may ask the trust but let’s hope they consult the members should this happen .

I think someone is linking the wearing of doc martins to a stereotypical lesbian (apologies if I’m wrang). I think in the mackems defence they’re actually linking it to a left wing “Millie Tant” stereotype…

Where is it - doesn't feature on the news section of their website?

He’s getting married soon. My mother in law recently died and it was her funeral yesterday. The parish priest came round beforehand to organise the service and yes chatting to me and my lass and tells he he’s going to the match. I ask him where he sits and he says he’s in a box .. I ask him who’s and he tells me Jacob Murphy as he knows the family as he went to school with his mam in Birtley many years ago and she’s still goes to mass and has kept in touch. He then mentions he’s doing Jacob’s wedding soon. Anyway after he’s left . The bairn (9 years old) comes down the stairs and I say guess what “Father David’s marrying Jacob Murphy”.. he then pauses for a few seconds and replies “ Jacob Murphy’s gay??” 🤣🤣 obviously I’d used an outdated turn of phrase but it’s telling that he didn’t question the priests life choice! obviously this is highly irrelevant to the topic - but I thought it was canny funny.

they have goal line tech in the premier league and the championship

Opens the vocal cords doesn’t it - it’s why opera singers or rockstars stand . Aye you can sit on a stool if you’re a lip syncing xfactor / boyband winnit but you need to stand to belt out a tune properly

I have never noticed that - not that we sing it much these days - when did that change ? Maybe due to more supporters not seeing the team as standing for the city and its people beyond purely football... Or just younguns and their lazy speech.. though having said that the average age of our crowd must impact on the atmosphere - I am 44 and am a youngun in the back of the Gallowgate (mebbes theres a few Luke Littleresque lads who just look 20 years older than their biological age but I think theres a lack of radge older teens and 20 somethings).

The bulls is also open at 9am - thought you'd prob be in the casino at 7am Paully!

Batty was a very good player, but imho he disrupted the flow or the team and tactics more than Asprilla by taking Clarky out of the side - this I think contributed more than Tino (who actually won us games we wouldn't have - Boro away) to us "blowing" the title, albeit combined with Man U's astounding post xmas form and Schmeichel's performance v us.

and Joe Harvey . I loved SBR but it’s criminal there’s no stand named after KK

was it someone of importance or were you in L7 for a change ;-)

wankers doing dry January…

Was chatting to a few if their fans after the game and they’re (in my head) very pessimistic- they think they’re going down - in my mind they’re far too good and todays result flattered us

Wolves played well but weren’t clinical in front of goal and made lots of sloppy mistakes. see the table as evidence. but they won’t go down imho

Maybe a free season ticket with a happy meal? just kidding whilst that attendance is pretty surprising I’d not have a go at clubs for trying to get kids in. Obviously we don’t need to do that now but I’d still like to see the club distribute a small % of tickets free (or with a paying adult) to primary schools in x mikes radius of SJP. Liverpool iirc do something similar to make sure the local kids can still go.

it was class - my 14 year old lad went once with me and until its finally been demolished would ask when it was reopening. He must have been around 8/9 when I took him

didn’t know that one of my lads plays for Whitley bay at fox hunters so we look at it every weekend and have always called it the San Siro. that’s crackers - they had some revolutionary head at one time dude they ?

ike monkseaton high school :-)

Just ignore the daft cunts

Got a letter wrong but aye

We forgive you

they won the World Cup in 66 and then have been mostly shite..
