I stated at home and watched with my dad who has some health issues, it was amazingly special to watch it with him but obviously would have been amazing to be in Newcastle. Maybe next time... The main meet was at that bar near Central, but there were sevral throughout the day. First one at the club shop, then the strawberry, then a restaurant and finally the bar itself. Presumably the final one was gonna be us Office Spacing the fuck out of a horse while doing the Toon toon chant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mike said: This cocksucker right here. Let me tell you, I met him in person on Sunday and from the moment he popped out the station and I screamed You Motherfucker at him, it's felt like I've known him 20 years. This guy is my dude. He can't navigate a map for shit, but he's absolutely fucking top notch. Apparently a gwordie woman misled him about where to get off the train and he got lost coming from the airport. I ain't meet a single mean Geordie lady and I was wandering the town like I was jumping off Assassins Creed towers and opening up the map. I call bullshit, but it felt rude to do in person so I'm having a go now from the comfort of my entire ocean in the way. He's better at navigating maps than @Super Duper Branko Strupar took him 45 mins to get to the twenty twenty bar 😂 Edited February 28, 2023 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) @Mike @cubaricho @Ameritoon @Deuce I guess I could organise something for Oct/Nov 2023 and try and get 50 tickets to a home game in the same block. Gives you guys chance to save, book leave from work and for everyone to meet this time! You guys want it, I'll try organise it and we can take over a floor of a hotel, too. Let's do a long weekend, rather than a day... Edited February 28, 2023 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 19 hours ago, Mike said: At the airport, headed...well, not home. Back to NY. Admittedly I haven't been many places, but of all the places I've been I've never felt so immediately comfortable and at home as I have from the second I touched down in your incredible city. Even before I got to meet you lovely people on here I was only ever greeted with kindness and respect. Sad to say that it's more than I receive in my nation of birth and has been a bit of an eye opener to how far things in the states has fallen. Thank you to @BlazeT44 for setting this up, and to every single one of you that contributed to lifelong memories I will cherish forever. Thank you to everyone that has ever been on this ridiculous forum that fir a very, very long time was the only point of light in a life of darkness. Thank you for sustaining me long enough for me to save myself. I can never repay that. To everyone I missed out on meeting...next time. There will absolutely be a next time. I miss it already and I'm just sat in the fuckimg airport. This week I learned where I live, and where home might be. Best post I've ever read on this forum.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Marshall's is the old-school favourite mind. Admittedly everything about Longsands is objectively better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Just had a look and Longsands is closed on a Tuesday so aye, you might have to go Marshall's. Bit of a trek from Tynemouth but The Waterfront at Shields Fish Quay is decent too. Fisherman's Bay in Whitley is good as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Also I think I said I'd give some Asian recommendations to @Ameritoonif he's still about. Nadon Thai, Chilli Padi (which you know about), Thai House Cafe. Sachins if you like Indian food. There's a new Vietnamese place opened recently too, Ngon Cafe, which I've seen good feedback for but not been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
