Bondedcrown Posted Saturday at 21:12 Share Posted Saturday at 21:12 2 hours ago, Guybrush said: What an experience. Coming onto Percy street and seeing both Eldon car parks rammed with people singing songs, Tsang foods waving a Toon flag out the window while a mob climbs on the Oxfam roof to get a good vantage point. One Dad saying to his son "I've waited 41 years for this, you can stand an hour in the cold", and meeting people who came just to film it for those that couldn't make it. Hearing the roar as the bus turned the corner, the chants as the players get close, and the city collectively realising that this was all real. Don't let anyone tell you any different - the League Cup is massive, and so are we. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted Saturday at 21:17 Share Posted Saturday at 21:17 I am wiped after that. Tremendous day. There was a lovely vibe around the place. Newcastle at its best. Shame the Town Moor was baltic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder how they were going to manage the Town Moor and it turns out they just didn’t. Never got asked for a ticket. Loads of people with cans.

Saying can they make sure they win the FA cup next time so it's nearer summer when we celebrate. Edited Saturday at 21:22 by Scoreboard82 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a canny spot on the road at the junction at the Hancock, felt a nudge in the back and thought it was some prick trying to get in front of me and the bairn, turned round with a canny scowl.... Was armed police with a rifle and about 3 normal rozzas move on through sir. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
