Superior Acuña Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 did anyone go to the beambacks at the old Odeon on Pilgrim Street? I seem to remember watching 1-1 home draws vs the mackems and Arsenal there, Shearers first season. 2 folks from Metro Radio did a little thing beforehand handing out prizes to kids. I think I got a ruler ( mint prize, I know) and a few copies of the old 'Black and White' magazine... Aye, regularly, it was great. First one was QPR away in 95, 3-2. Also particularly remember 2-1 at Anfield in the LC with my scouse friend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mantis Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 30th Nov 1986, aged 10. Match was on telly on a Sunday but dad decided to take me. In the Gallowgate corner to see us beat West Ham 4-0. Remember being dazzled by Pedro and shitting myself at how wild the gallowgate was and thinking I was going to get crushed. The noise was unbelievable at that age. Some solid players, Peter Jackson, McCreery and Anderson. Unbelievably, looked it up on Google and there is youtube footage where Big Ron is on about the crowd being the best support in the land. Class. <Correct.

Superior Acuña Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It's interesting that the commentators talk about us being the best in that 1986 video. I've always been given the impression by opposition fans that our support was only 'good' post-KK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Shrewsbury at home back in 1981 I think (I was 8) Was that a 4-0 win? If so that was mine too. I honestly can't remember the score! The pre-match ritual for me back then, was getting on the Jordan's bus at Cambois, with my dad and his mates and sitting at the back. Getting to town, going in the lounge at The Companions Club for half a coke and then on to the ground, in the old West Stand Paddock (next to the Leazes) which I think later became the family enclosure. Good days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Royal Antwerp in UEFA cup 1994 in the milburn paddock. Won 5-2, still remember it was one of the last times we did the mexican wave. Cost us a chance of winning the UEFA cup that season after the Bilbao fiasco.

Greg Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Moving on from the first game I also remember my first away game well, Coventry City away in January 1996, Steve Watson scored the only goal of the game. My main memories of the game were the state of the bogs at Highfield Road and the abuse Andy Gray got, he was walking up to the gantry and the entire away end was in full voice 'Andy Gray is a wanker, is a wanker', I had to ask my Dad what a wanker was.

Spurs 1-2 Les Ferdinand for me. Sat front row behind the wheelchair fans, only memory is getting wrong off me Pa's mate for refusing to cover my colours up walking to the Tube after the match. Have only been to 11 or 12 but I've never seen us lose away from home. (excl. Neutral venues) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutral venues) 2008/2009 Fulham 2 - 1 Newcastle Conceded to Andy Johnson, Shola scored and we started dominating but ended up with no points because the blind fucker of a ref gave them a pen after ignoring a blatant foul on Cacapa in the buildup that should have stopped play. Still my only away game and I actually found it a lot more fun than home games at SJP. Wish I could go to more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First away game was the Cardiff semi vs ManU. I was only 13 and despite losing 4-1 the support absolutely blew me away that day. To see that many Geordies in Cardiff for a game we were pretty much nailed on to lose and then to see the manic celebrations when Shola netted (to make it 3-1 ). Wow.
