Also, on that note, we're now on the longest streak in NUFC history of not reaching a Cup Final. From videos and photos I've seen the '74 cup final was a huge deal and that was 19 years of waiting, again the '98 cup final looked amazing (atmosphere wise) and that was then our longest streak. God knows what it'll be like when we finally reach a cup final again. Previous streaks: 1999-2022+ (23 years and counting) 1976-1998 (22 years) 1932-1951 (19 years) 1955-1974 (19 years) 1892-1905 (13 years) 1911-1924 (13 years) 1924-1932 (8 years) 1952-1955 (3 years) 1974-1976 (2 years) 1908-1910 (2 years) Just being pedantic but don't think you should count the war years when there was no FA Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we ever sang it for a manager that wasn't Keegan? Vaguely remember maybe singing it during the Pardew era Sir Bobby! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 My son has just found out my great uncle is on the war memorial at the rememberance garden at SJP as he died during the war as an ex player. I knew of him and but didn't know he was there. Going to have to take a trip up and get a picture of it. Nice little family moment that, properly made my dad's day as well that the boy found out about it. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering why they'd need a fitness room at the stadium,. but wonder if the plan is either to train at the stadium more often, and as such this room is for those are maybe doing physio?

They were put there when the West Stand was demolished and the Milburn Stand was being built between (I think) 1987 and 1989.
