madras Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Just looking at the pre season line up of games and there's some gap the between Brighton game and the start of the season, a whole weekend in fact. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another game in there, quite possibly a home game like last season. Edited June 16, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see an away game to a CL level European team or Saudi in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Just seen the first post. Probably a home game or double header again. A bit crap we play two of the first four teams in the league in the USA too. Edited June 16, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd take nothing from those friendlies as a guide to the league games but I do like friendlies against teams you don't normally come up against.

Edit.... just checked and aye it was 81 and crowds of just under 10,000 and just over 10,000. Edited June 16, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick, Carlisle, Gateshead and Sunderland play off to meet either us or Boro in the semi finals 😉 Plod on double bubble, obvs Edited June 16, 2023 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in a couple batshit crazy parts of the country tbf. The Red Bulls have one of the worst avg. attendance in MLS and there are two Gold Cup matches there within the next two weeks that aren't sold out yet. Filling that stadium a month out for a game that doesn't involve any of the "big 6" is impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyRFC Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) https://www.nufc.co.uk/matches/first-team/2023-24/rangers-vs-newcastle-united/?tab=tickets Absolutely delighted to see the Toon have sold out the allocation (and not surprised in the slightest) for Allan McGregor's testimonial game next month I can remember Newcastle came up for Super's testimonial in 1993, they'd just been promoted to the Premiership and filled the bottom of the Broomloan Stand with one of the biggest flags I'd ever seen, the 92/93 1st division flag The support was fantastic and I've been a fan since then, I also have family in the Toon as well Another great away support for the Ibrox Cup in 1994 and both sets of supporters shared a mutual hatred of Man U during that which was most enjoyable! Ruel Fox scored an absolutely beauty past Rudolph Schmeichel in goals that day too, was a top few days football I was also at the Gateshead Cup in 2004 and it was a fantastic weekend, we were speaking to some Geordies in the Bigg Market on the Saturday night and they told us that we were the best away support they'd ever seen at St James' and one of the lads said he was whistling the 'bouncy bouncy' on the way home from the game on the Metro!
