TRon Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Not their fault, but it was really not a good day to celebrate Bobby Robson's imaginary 90th birthday when we lost a player some our current sqad and management team worked with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 My view from the Platinum Clerb. Nice view, wouldn't ever swap it for my usual seat/old ST seat. Atmosphere was marginally better than I was expecting there but nowt like where I usually am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, so was everywhere last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also didn't get owt but the scran and pint choices were lightyears clear of other places I've sat in the ground, especially the East Stand which is where I usually am. Block L is where my usual seat is which has a great view but also gets all the atmosphere from the Corner and isn't full of miserable old gits like much of the rest of the stand. Also hated that I could see and hear more of the away fans. Worst sound and sight in the world when you concede. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit up in Row P with the Millburn suite (I think, its the bigger light leather seats) behind. Its always different people every game. Around me there are a a few ST holders, but I'd say 60% of the seats are match tickets. You do get some really supportive people, but plenty who are just there for the day out, aren't signing or getting behind the team. Interesting about the scran as I think the food is shit, though the queues to get it are far less than elsewhere. Just be glad you've been in when they're finally replaced the carpet after all those years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be glad you've been in when they're finally replaced the carpet after all those years! Interesting on the different people for each game. Probably due to the prices, I certainly couldn't afford sitting there regularly. Was 67 quid for my ticket for last night and I certainly can't afford that regularly as a student. Just the options for scran, used to only having hot dogs, Dickson's pies and naff burgers in my usual East Stand bit. The chicken bites, chips and curry sauce looked a hell of a far cry from that. Pints as well, only Carling and Caffrey's where I usually sit. Shite. No wonder I never spend owt in the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The editing on that Geordie Shore flag is far worse than the fact it has Moaty on it. Looks like someone’s fatha’s done it on MS Paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We worked with the foundation, the Athletic and others involved in the whole 'occasion' as part of a wider range of events/coverage Club and country flags were made by yours truly.

TheBrownBottle Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Yeah, sorry but I can’t laugh at the ‘Moaty’ stuff. He fucking murdered his ex’s new partner and hospitalised her before blinding a police officer for no reason whatsoever (that happened pretty much within sight of where I lived at that point). There’s fuck all funny about the ironic veneration of a murdering cunt for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they had it completely fill the frame too which totally reduced its sense of scale. Not really sure about The Athletic promoting its podcast as part of the display either like, or am I just being a bit cynical?
