Guest Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thought we were going to do class that season. We were top after 4-5 games, we’d been good the season before under Bobby. Think we’d have finished nearer top 7/8 if we’d not lost Dabizas, Shearer, Dyer & Cort for large spells! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Cort looked a great all-round striker before his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Was that the first game the East Stand had been redeveloped as well with the boxes being removed? Would've been aye. From .com First impressions of the stadium once inside were of its expected vastness but comparative brightness, due to the materials used to construct the roof allowing the maximum natural light in. By contrast, the single tier corners of the Gallowgate and Leazes ends constructed in the mid-90's with solid roof structures seemed gloomy, even on a fine evening such as this. Support from the crowd was slightly less than the full-frontal sonic assault predicted by many, but a few pedestrians in the Haymarket no doubt wondered why they could hear what sounded like a jet engine at around 7.49pm, when Cort popped the ball in the Leazes net.Our early dominance petered out and things quietened down as the first half wore on, with a late equaliser for the Rams prompting some booing on the halftime whistle. Two quick goals in the second period livened things up considerably, and a couple of raucous renditions of "The Blaydon Races" were supported by all four sides of the ground, including the upper echelons of the Milburn, quite frankly sounded bloody marvellous. So, good in parts, but the true depth of passion and support that can still be produced by a geordie crowd in times of need wasn't displayed tonight. When it does, that promises to be truly memorable. Sums up SJP at 52k really, that. That season was also the season during which I was born. First Newcastle game of my existence was a 2-0 defeat at Derby. Heady days then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Got me looking up the first game of my existence. Turns out it was first game of the 84/85 season, 3-2 win at Leicester. Lineker scored two, Carney, McCreery & Waddle for Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Got me looking up the first game of my existence. Turns out it was first game of the 84/85 season, 3-2 win at Leicester. Lineker scored two, Carney, McCreery & Waddle for Newcastle. Got me looking now. If including friendlies it was 1-0 against Walsall in July '89. But the first competitive game of 89/90 was Micky Quinn's four goals in the Leeds 5-2 so I'll go with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Probably one for the daft questions thread, but speaking of SJP, why were attendances so low in the first half of 2010-11? We've had much higher gates during worse seasons with worse players and results. Always found it a bit bizarre, like scraping 41,000 v Blackburn and Stoke.

The season before was the champo season and 41k was around our average that season so it probably took a while for attendances to pick back up from there. Plus we didn’t really make any decent signings that summer if I remember right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineker scored two, Carney, McCreery & Waddle for Newcastle. Nice idea- just did the same. Typically it is a 3-0 defeat away at Manchester United the day after I was born, Frank Stapleton with two and Mark Hughes with the third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Zero recollection of this game, despite having just checked and definitely being there. I'll blame the weather. Simpler times, what I'd give for a bit of negative Rafaball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 A real shame we couldn't convince Merino to stay. So much better than the likes of Shelvey - we could have really built a team around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap, however I do think he's playing much better now as he got homesick a lot when he was with us and Dortmund. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
