I was at the last Sunderland friendlies, 1981 I think, home and away over 4 days....... who thought that was a good idea, fuck me, Roker Sea front was like an Andy Capp fight, a moving cloud of dust with limbs sticking out.

Berwick, Carlisle, Gateshead and Sunderland play off to meet either us or Boro in the semi finals ?

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!
