My mam, who's retired, reckons there's no cap on numbers.

Aye but my sister knows people who do a lot of the organising of this sort of thing form the NHS’ side of things.

Aye the health and safety will be reducing numbers no doubt. Still think should do normal parade, but that decision has already been made. Looks like they are more focussing on making it a major show and obviously they can control and make it something special if it's all at one location

Already spotted some tickets for sale on SeatUnique, £900 a pop

 

Says they’re in the VIP section where you can drink peeve and you also get special noise cancelling headphones that have been tuned to block out Dury’s commentary during the match replay

 

Tempted, tbh

When you were there did you notice if the cows are back on yet ? They usually put them out to graze around March

Would love it if one of the NUFC legend freeman of the city  actually took up their rights to graze a cow on the moor.

Looks like they have rained on the parade, turning a celebratory day into another ‘experience’

The ballot road to enjoyment 

Telling folk how to celebrate the love of their team 

An enjoyment advisory service organised by people who wear suits and false smiles and have never been to Exeter or Shrewsbury 

Strangling self expression and spontaneity of Geordie folk who have have promoted enjoyment in the face of adversity for a football life time, just look in any Newcastle Upon Tyne pub on a match day, despite the result on the pitch, Geordie’s are the masters of enjoyment, we probably bloody invented it, but now, we need to be instructed on how to behave celebrating our teams cup triumph

I dunno about you, but I don’t need to be listening to a DJ to enthuse me, telling me ‘to make some noise’ I don’t need modern day ‘tunes’ to fire up my vocal chords, I just need my fellow Geordies to be as one, a few choruses of The Blaydon Races, sang at a proper speed, I need smiles and appreciation of the teams achievement

Just a natural reaction 
Just be normal 

I don’t want to see Darren Eales cheesy grin pretending he’s been waiting a life time for this day, telling us this is only the beginning 
Promising global domination and support from all over the world 

It’s now, that’s what it is, and if we never win another trophy again let us enjoy this one, this time, our time, now

Let the Geordie people line the streets with bed sheets and flags and songs, local songs that lift the Geordie heart in celebration of our team, the kids, the not so wealthy, the Grannies and Grandads that can no longer get into the match let alone get their hands on a Wembley ticket, just let the people say thanks to the team that have given us at long last something that we all just dreamed of

The only stage needed is an open top bus rolling slowly through the streets up to St James’s Park amidst a sea of black and white 

Don’t give tradition another kick in the bollocks and turn a celebration into a circus or an American style contrived extravaganza 

We are not anybody else 
We are us 
A people with our own identity 

We don’t need to be told how to celebrate, we have just realised a lifetimes dream

Leave us alone, we have been alone most of our football lives
And through that trophy less loneliness we have built a togetherness comparable to nothing else like it 

Let us get on with our celebration in our own imitable way

Just keep it simple, keep it real, and most of all keep it Geordie

Let the wheels on the bus go around and around ….

Really thought there would be a bus parade through the city, where I could just stand on the street with my pals, wife and daughter... see the lads go past with cup, show our appreciation, then into a pub for a few jars... a better experience than standing in a field, and better for city pubs and restaurants.

This is being planned.

Quite a lot of Caulkin-esque prose on something we don't have any real, confirmed information about.

 

We don't know whether there will be a parade or not, and if not we don't know whether it's the club, the police, the council, the NHS (etc) who have shot it down.

The fuss is about people who want to celebrate a potentially once in a lifetime event being excluded, just do something along the lines of the Keegan days when we got promoted?

 

Huge missed opportunity if they ticket the whole thing imo.

I think everyone will be able to go 

 

Correct me if I am wrong at a later date but I honestly don’t think anyone will miss out 

[dave s]

i hope there is a parade. can’t be bothered standing on the moor, listening to a shit dj and queuing forever to piss in minging portaloos 

 

watch a bus roll by, chant some songs, give the lads a good applause. see some nutters climb lampposts .. i’ve good memories of that from keegan

The club itself is actually a freeman, maybe a herd could be a potential PSR income stream?

[David Edgar]

I'm 8000th in the queue. 

 

My partner is 13000th. 

 

Won't be able to stay in the queue as we need to head out soon. 

 

Merde.

Maybe it could have been seen as counting chickens and tempting fate, but it really should have all been planned for beforehand.

Agree with the sentiment but I'm pretty confident a bus is being arranged 

[Hovagod]

We don’t half have some knackers support us like. The bus parade is now, deep down, what we all dreamt of when we won a trophy- and if we don’t have one we might as well not have bothered winning it.

 

Of course this is an acceptable thing to attack the club’s owners for, not that other stuff that they get defensive about. 

[bobbydazzla]

They could just park an open top bus on a bridge over the central motorway and anyone who wants to can jog past and wave at the players & cup, be just like start of Great North Run so Health & Safety can’t have any complaints

You can probably blame it on questionable communication from the club (again), but it seems astonishing how many people don’t actually know, or understand, what is planned.

This has been an issue for a while now and does not lend hope for whatever stadium announcement they have.

 

Need a Chief Communications Officer yesterday.

If there’s anyone is a parade, then no.
