Heron Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I don't remember it, but apparently it was a Newcastle Reserves vs Sunderland Reserves game when I was 5 (1994/1995) and 9,000 fans turned up. The rest is history. I was at that. 0-0 IIRC. http://www.nufc.com/html/1993-94reserves.html That was in 1993, Heza would have been 3. It was a rough date tbh, I don't think i was 3 though. My Dad said it was 0-0 surprisingly enough. I'll double check later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridman Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 1998 Newcastle 1 - Sheffield Wednesday 1 Don´t remember much of the game itself other than Paul Dalglish scored the goal, must have been quite noneventful and dull. Was still a memorable match as my stepfather at the time booked us the wrong tickets so we ended up sitting in the away end. So there I was proudly wearing my newly bought 9 Shearer shirt surrounded by the away fans, then a few mins into the game Dalglish scored and I leaped from my seat fists in the air and everything, can still remember the panic on my stepdad´s face as he frantically tried pulling me back to the seat with everyone giving us murderous eye stairs. Some nice police officer allowed us to change seats during the second half so at least I didn´t have to sit through the whole game in the away end.

ben-nufc Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 barnsley 0-1 newcastle, craig bellamy scored, i was 7 i think, my dad reluctantly took me after a pestered him. First home game was march 3rd 2004 against valarenga, we won 3-1 sat in the gallowgate, been hooked ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 9th Nov 2008 @ Fulham First match after many years of following from afar, arrived at Craven Cottage with great anticipation, where we went out and played heartlessly, losing 2-1. Of the 12 that played for us that day, 6 would be gone within a year, and we'd be in the Championship. Barton had just come back from a long suspension, and 6 months in the clink before that. And a plague of injuries before that. And on that day he was the only one that played with any grit. After the match everyone sulked off to the locker room with their heads down, except for Barton. He jogged over to the visitor's stand, waved a little boy to come over and he gave him his shirt. Spent time talking with the supporters, thanking and encouraging them. I was very impressed with him, and (almost) everything he's done since that game has affirmed what I saw from him that day, as opposed to what the press had been pumping out about him, and still does.

Tsunami Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Early 80s, with my old man and CP40. I think it was Fulham where we won in the last few minutes scoring 2 goals to lead 2-1. Wasnt that 3-2? The match was shown on MOTD which was very unusual for a Div 2 game but the most memorable thing about that game was that it absolutely pissed down and there was steam coming off the crowd by the end of the game. It was f***ing torrential. Btw my first game was in the early 70's against Stoke I think and we won 3-2 I think but I could be wrong on both counts. aye pretty sure it finnished 3-2, keegan playing for us- supermac was Fulhams manager- Was thinking about that game when we drew 4-4 with Arsenal. Rare event - we looked f*** all like equalising never mind winning. Never leave early! Think Trewick scored with 2-3 mins left and then Wharton improbably in injury time with a Leazes end scramble. I remember that more from the "going up" footage than actually being at the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 First match was a Coca-Cola cup match in 1996, about 3 days after we beat Man Utd 5-0. Newcastle 1 - 0 Oldham, Beardsley penalty. Not much happened after that tbh but Beardsley was my hero growing up so seeing him score was great. I would have been 8 incidentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Rough average of all the years mentioned so far is 1991. Kids board tbh. Impossible. As the mackems will tell you, we had no support before '92! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 October 1972 away to Stoke. We lost 2-0. We had gone for my brothers birthday and I had been pleading for ages to go to a game but was not allowed (my brother's first game had been 2-3 years earlier). My main recollection was my Dad deciding to take us into the seats and complaining about how much it cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Cant be sure but its between 5-0 win vs Nottingham 11th May 1997 at home or Hull at home 15th October 1997 in Worthington Cup. Won 2-0. Scorers were Des Hamilton and Ian Rush Hulls the first one i can remember but my Dad hasn't got a clue when i asked him. Daft bugger. Hope its the first one like. the goals from that are on YouTube! Obviously I can't post it, so I'll let you look, but I found them the other day with many other random highlights such as a 4-1 home win vs Coventry in 1998 and the Tranmere 3-2 away win in the FA Cup, 2000.

Anderson Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have a strange memory of watching us vs Blackburn away in the league cup on a little television in some nondescript room inside SJP when I was about 7/8.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 did anyone go to the beambacks at the old Odeon on Pilgrim Street?

ToonImms Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I think it was 1999/00, Villa away (I live in Brum). Won 1-0 I'm sure big Dunc got the goal for us.
