So apologies maybe revealing me not having been for a while but i'm going to this (racist fascist twats permitting) with mate and his kids, i have e-tickets all on my phone, this may be stupid question but having only used paper tickets in turnstyles previously we always just gave out the tickets, will the guy on turnstyles scan all my tickets and then let next 3 through on it?

Scan one barcode let one person through, scan next barcode next person goes through etc.

 

They probably have an override button if they want to scan all three at once but not seen it done before.

It's my middle boys first time in Newcastle on Saturday - really hope the experience isn't soured by some knuckle dragging morons.

Not sure how true it is but apparently the game on Saturday could be played behind closed doors now due to protests

Yes, heard the same. That the police have been briefing some local organisations that this may happen. What a fucking mess. Why can't they just make the EDL meeting illegal. Use some of that emergency covid lockdown legislation, that must be knocking around somewhere still 🙂

City council have released a statement today saying business as usual and mentioned it being a busy day for the city with the match being on.

that was my thought but my lads football coach is a copper and he thinks no way the Saturday named will go ahead with crowds present. It’s sad that the idiots have won but in these days public safety comes first. 

[LFEE]

The game will go ahead as normal IMO. Would be very surprised if it didn’t.

Will you be able to buy ticket from box office on the day for these games?

Should just be able to burn a turnstile down to gain entry.

[SUPERTOON]

For anyone going to the games.

Going into town and to the game on Saturday with my 2 little boys, so starting to feel a bit of concern over all this.

 

I suppose the best plan is to get near and into the stadium as soon as possible?

 

Hopefully, everything is smooth enough.

I'd maybe head to the Stack before the match, can't see anything happening in there.

Not that I can see any trouble happening now with the sentences being dished out already.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

It'll be focused on Monument I would imagine, and maybe some people walking up from Central Station if they've travelled to cause trouble.

 

Hopefully it'll be a lot smaller than it would've been before this week. 

[Kanj]

Hope all attending have no bother and stay safe. 

[Mikky]

Cancelled our tickets - as somebody that is non-white I simply cannot take a risk 

 

Gutted as I don’t get many opportunities to travel to SJP

Ah man, so sorry to hear that

[Elliottman]

Maybe I'm being naïve but I think after the way the last 24 hours have gone I'd be surprised if it really kicks off. Maybe a few numpties here and there but like Ian says, nowhere near as bad as predicted at the weekend. Hope so anyway. 

[Tiresias]

If there is trouble saturday couldnt the club just send out joelinton to absolutely smash them all to pieces single handedly all while grinning

[1964]

Hopefully the speedy trials for those morons are a deterrent. 

 

Let's be honest you have to be either a rabid nutcase or spectacularly stupid to still riot , given a 69 year old with no criminal record has just got 2½ years 

[Shadow Puppets]

What are ticket sales looking like for tomorrow night?

Looked about 30k when I bought earlier in the week. Gallowgate, East and Milburn were pretty much done but loads in the Leazes. L7 closed.

Same mate. Not worth the risk. Especially as I was taking the kids.
