Guest neesy111 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Out of our 46 league matches this season, we only had 18 Saturday 3pm kick offs. Such a pain in the arse getting time off work and organising travel in this league. I suspect we won't have many 3pm's next season as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Out of our 46 league matches this season, we only had 18 Saturday 3pm kick offs. Such a pain in the arse getting time off work and organising travel in this league. I suspect we won't have many 3pm's next season as well. In comparison, West Ham have had 18 of their 38 games as Saturday 3pm kick offs. 8 games less, but same number as 3pm kick offs. 30 of their 38 games have been on a Saturday or Sunday. Whereas only 26 out of our 46 games have been. It's the midweek and constant Monday/Friday games that have been an issue this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we in 14/15 only have 1 home 3pm in 5 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Some interesting stats on our season here. https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/23/Show/England-Newcastle-United Mitro something like 3rd highest assists. Most MOM went to Lascelles Pointless signings like Lazaar playing only 37 minutes of football. Dummett playing the most football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Any of the regular away day fans not tempted to sack Spurs away off next season? Not sure I'd fancy the first trip following Newcastle at Wembley being a bog standard league game outnumbered heavily, rather than when there's 30-35k there for a Semi Final or Final. Just going to feel underwhelming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going to feel underwhelming. Discussing this just the other day. I'm in agreement with you that being at Wembley for a league won't be the same. I'm not even sure i'd be too keen on a semi-final there, although we'd have the numbers then (more so than a final probably) so i'd probably give in.

Wallsendmag Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Wembley lost that "sacred" feel years ago when all the Semi Finals started getting played there. Going there for a league game and not a cup final, or semi final, or play off final etc doesn't bother me in the slightest tbh. It's still Wembley stadium, it's just been transformed completely since we were last there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was class when I went with the Heed, will be great to experience it with a proper atmosphere (from our lot at least). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Has there been any indication of the allocation away fans will get at Wembley? 90000 capacity but I imagine the full stadium may not be open as can't see Spurs getting 90000 every week, but you'd hope the allocation would be at least 5000 which would be decent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 What's shite about it? Too big, front rows are miles from the pitch, lower bowl seating is too shallow, atmosphere doesn't stay in the ground. It's very much a multi-purpose stadium, not a football ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Get 40,000 Newcastle fans in there for a cup final and the atmosphere will stay in the ground. Thought it was quality myself, still get the goosebumps going down Wembley way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
