JH Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Of course it'll be easy to tell - the seats will have someone in them - that doesn't usually happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I know loads of people who are going in the home end. They're not likely to cause any trouble, so I don't really see the issue. It's not like they are taking up seats that boro fans would normally use. Thats clearly not the point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 How will they know? They won't, it's probably a bluff. Except if people do something stupid like start a round of the Coloccini song or go mental when we score our 5th goal, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people I'm talking about aren't the biggest singers or rowdiest anyway, so I'm 99% sure they'll be well behaved. Have you stopped to consider that the boro fans around them may not care how placid they are? This may be a shock but there has been unprovoked attacks on people before in this country.

If they get any hint that they are Newcastle fans you can guarantee that the smoggies will cause a scene. The time I was in the home end there was a loud mouthed smoggie lass who was shouting abuse at the Newcastle fans and the Middlesbrough stewards because the Newcastle fans were walking down a set of steps that normally Boro fans can walk down. She was going mental, despite the Newcastle fans not doing anything. They have massive, massive chips on their shoulders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't all sitting together though. You would be surprised how easy it is to tell mind, what if boro score for example.

Good luck to them though if Boro score, stand up and just clap, you don't have to go mental. Plenty of people at our games don't manage much more than that anyway.

They hate us with a passion, probably more than they love their own team. They'll not think twice about setting about any Toon fans, regardless of what they're doing. This is their cup final. Saddos that they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thanks to the NUFC ticket office scapping the loyalty points system and me not realising there's 4 of us in with the home fans on Saturday. I have relatives who live in Stockton and they have sorted our tickets out and apparently we're in the West Stand but quite near the Newcastle supporters and we will be celebrating if/when we score. Wouldn't be suprised if there's a few thousand Newcastle fans in the home sections which makes a bit of a mockery of their decision only to give us 3,600 tickets for safety reasons. How many points ya got out of interest? Know a few people with about a hundred who aren't happy at all 97 points mate. Haven't been knocked back for an away ticket since our first ever visit to the stadium of light. Sat in the home end then which was pretty difficult with us going 2-0 up and then them coming back to draw 2-2. Extra allocation went on sale last week to 25+ points and then down to 10+ after a few days. It is s*** that the loyalty scheme wasn't used from the off but you could have still got them after they originally f***ed you over. Not possible as I was in Holland for three days last week and the extra tickets were put on sale and sold whilst I was away and I knew nothing about it. Plus my relatives in Stockton had already aquired me tickets in the home section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest michaelfoster Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dont know if this has been posted NUFC: Chris Hughton will make a decision on Friday whether Jose Enrique (hamstring), Wayne Routledge (calf) and Alan Smith (ankle) will feature at the Riverside. Shola Ameobi, Steven Taylor and Joey Barton all still missing, Barton appearing for 45 minutes earlier this week in a training ground friendly but not in contention for a first-team recall as yet.

David28 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Bet you we don't see Barton till the final three or four games. He could well be on the pitch tomorrow after that behind-closed-door game midweek. Thankfully Hughton (and/or the staff) has decided not to risk him. If he gets rushed back too early again he'll get injured again - and that would probably be the last thing we would (and should) want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
