Guest firetotheworks Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The Trent House still has a decent atmosphere pre-match too and has an awesome jukebox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Would recommend the Strawberry as well. Not that I live in Newcastle, but I have been before and enjoyed a pint there and thought it was good - and it's directly across from the steps of SJP. I think when Toonlass mentioned that it was a "tourist experience" she meant more along the lines of it just being a great experience if you're passing through, not that it's like a TGI Fridays or something. I think it'd be well worth stopping in to grab a pint if you're okay dealing with crowds. Also, it's hard to miss the stadium, if I remember correctly it's got to be close to the tallest building there, it stands out like a (beautiful) sore thumb in the skyline.

Interpolic Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'd rather go to Whitley Bay then Fenham, I must admit myself I'm not a Whitley person but if you want a bit of a cheap night out in the clubs etc then theirs not much better. or stop in the city centre as its cheap enough and walking distance to everywhere...jeez man he's after advice and you're arguing about shitty suburbs. YBG........when do you get here ? friday night is good, pre match will get the buzz, saturday post match you'll enjoy, sunday afternoon after the night before is always good. enjoy! it's a very compact city centre so its all quite close. One of the best things about Newcastle imo. Love the fact you can walk practically anywhere within 20 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Awesome, thanks WBCP. Those places easy enough to find? The more I'm looking at Leazes Corner, the better it looks, tbh. Is the East stand worth looking at? http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/245/81095796.png They're all on the same road, literally a few doors apart each. I know some on here opt for the Trent House, which you'll see just to the left of the Traffic box. really ought to add rosies and the newcastle arms in there if you want to be that close to the ground and deffo the strawberry.

Guest YANKEEBLEEDSMAGPIE Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Ah of course. Thank God for, well, God. I'm assuming adidas store will be open that day, but just in case, anybody know a good shop that would have kits, scarves, and the like? I could go to adidas or one of the chains, but if there's a good local place I'd love to check that out as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adidas store will be open, their is also 2 more NUFC stores in the city centre (no doubt you will come across all 3), another in the Metrocentre if you go there, plenty of other shops sell NUFC kits aswell. It's worth noting SJP do tours aswell, but not on a match day I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest YANKEEBLEEDSMAGPIE Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 is the tour worth it? who leads it? just some club employee or do they get a former player like rob lee to do it? i'm sure gascoigne could use the money... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 City vaults is the best pre match bar imo, avoid whitley bay at all costs, everything you need is in the city centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some on here opt for the Trent House, which you'll see just to the left of the Traffic box. Why is there a giant cock emerging from the LC? As mentioned the pubs around the ground(Strawberry, Trent, Shearers etc) are always busy and worth a look. You wont go wrong with many places in the city centre though as Haymarket, Central and the Gate offer different things depending on what you are looking for. Last time i was in the 3 Bulls it was a cracking atmosphere mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pav Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 It'll be worth doing the tour, it allows you to see what the whole ground is like since you'll only get the one perspective at the game. If you do go in the LC make sure your mates don't mind standing for the full game and having everyone going mental when (if) we score. If that sounds appealing then get yourself up there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 If you come to the Trent make sure you ask around for the N-O lot like a fucking madman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
