Unbelievable Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Still looking at coming over lads (and lasses). If I can make it, will most probably be in attendance to cheer you on rather than on the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 So I've been looking into travel and accommodation and the current plan is to make it a four day trip, taking the ferry on the way in, arriving Thursday morning, and returning by plane Sunday afternoon. Would be good to meet up with some of you former dissidents, certainly on Saturday (will pack my kit and be a reserve player in case anyone drops out just in case @LFEE), but also possible on Thursday or Friday evening? What are the plans in terms of pre or post match drinks on Saturday? Also I would love to take my boy Arthur to see the game on Saturday if at all possible. I assume that entails getting memberships and entering the ballot nowadays? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have stuff planned after the game etc. Your fine the game, we need more subs since most of us are unfit etc. Enjoy the party ferry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 For folk travelling into Toon, is there a particular place/hotel you folk are staying? Is there any mileage/saving to be had from bloc booking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be friends available to help look after Arthur if you had wanted to bring him to watch you. Offer of mine still stands for you all also just let me know ASAP. Yes unfortunately when discussed months ago I envisaged being able to sort you both out fairly easily but as you know all has changed so it’s a case of having a membership each and entering a ballot (they do international ones). Or if you know anyone with STs not going to the game they can transfer to you. Can help entertain you prior to weekend also and show you a few sights if you wish.

I'm not so sure the majority of our tourism comes from stags/hens/weekends away. there's not a great deal of business up in Newcastle. feels like the few premium hotels we do have sit at half capacity most of the time. anyway, sorry for derailing the thread. I just can't help myself talking about our great city. ENJOY THE GAME. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opportunities in town should be for more residential accommodation tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just checking 'no studs' includes no rubber moulded? Fair enough, just want to check for sure as I'll have to buy something special. (Only got Copa moulded) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
