Can't be dropping Murphy after that showing, surely? Think he’s claimed that right wing for now. 2 feet too! Miggy as rocket juice super sub. Not that Murphy is slow mind.

Smal Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I think Miggy’s energy and running in behind will be really valuable for this. Murph can also do that like, as we saw on Saturday. Tough choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Dortmund are yet to score so far in the group stages. You'd think if we get one or two it will be enough for the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 They're used to atmosphere but in Germany its atmosphere for the sake of it rather than [assionately reflecting and reacting to the game taking place so well worth being at it again I fancy.

Isaak Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hey guys, I'm in a really humble position and would really appreciate any kind of help! I'm an international student currently studying abroad in the UK and I got a ticket for the match vs. Borussia Dortmund on this Wednesday. My accommodation is located in Carlisle, from where I will travel to the match. Unfortunately, I've just noticed that the last train from Newcastle to Carlisle leaves at 21:25, so even before the end of the match. I really wasn't aware that the public transport services are (apparently) so poor after a Newcastle United home match, especially as it's UCL... So do you guys have any advice for me how to get back to Carlisle after the match? Bus services seem to be poor too, and an Uber will be really really expensive. I'd really appreciate any kind of help as I'm really desperate at the moment :/ Thank you very much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country is a bit of a joke as I’m sure you’re finding out. Agree with above, unless you’re driving, you’ll probably need a room somewhere. You might save money by staying somewhere a bit further out you can get to after the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, unless you can find someone to give you a lift, you won’t be getting back to Carlise without leaving the game early. I would suggest searching social media for any NUFC Cumbria Supporters groups. That’s probably your best bet of finding a lift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The Tyne Valley line does serves that route late on a weekday but only up to Hexham. I'm not sure there is huge demand for passenger services running late all the way across to Cumbria on an evening most days of the week tbh. And UK rail services will rarely adapt timetables/run extra services to suit sporting event. Even if they did I don't think we've historically had massive support in Cumbria tbh - most either support Carlisle or glory hunt south. That might change though going forward... To answer your question I'm afraid your only solution is to book a hotel/hostel/Airbnb - or ask around and find somebody who is driving back that way. Maybe ask on somewhere like Twitter.

ponsaelius Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Maybe price up booking a taxi from Hexham to Carlisle? You could get the last train or a bus to cut some of the journey distance. May be at least cheaper than a hotel but tbh I'd have no idea of knowing for sure. I think finding other Carlisle based fans would be the best bet though if you can. Edited October 23, 2023 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
