Disco Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Apparently St Marys is the only top flight pitch not to have any camber at all. Or at least it was a few years back when I was told that nugget. The camber at sjp is nothing unusual but the slope certainly is. Sea level loving bitches down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm sure HTT once said the slope was 15 metres Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieT Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have read somewhere that once upon a time (100 years ago), there was something like a 15ft slope. Not quite 15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It doesn't look like level 7 is being used for the magic weekend. Wasted opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 It must be because they have supposedly sold around 40,000 tickets for Saturday and are hoping for a good walk up on the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I was looking at ticket info for it and it showed the areas where fans of certain teams are asked to sit and a list of all the prices. Level 7 was greyed out and thee was no ticket information regarding it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Due to popular demand all tickets in the Leazes, Gallowgate and East Stands are now sold out. There is good availability on Level 7 of the Milburn Stand and limited availability in the reserved seating areas of the Milburn Stand. Rancid scenes, there'll be rivers of drool running down from the stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Seem to have incurred the wrath of egg chasers having tweeted that the atmosphere is somehow more flat than on an NUFC matchday there at the minute. Apparently it will "all change" during the Hull derby... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Had to fight through this horrible bunch on my way back from work. Half of them were absolutely mortal, could barely stand up, staggering into traffic etc. Lots of horrible pissed lasses in shirts of teams I didn't recognise for a team that play a sport I don't care about slurring "Oooh, ahh, you're shit!" at the bus I was on. Was basically the worst bits of football fans but with far more foam hands and selfie sticks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've never even watched a game of League in my life, but I do follow Union a bit and you never ever see that sort of thing at Union. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 There were loads of them standing drinking and singing outside the Newcastle Arms/Rosie's. Smashed glass and rubbish everywhere. I know they were just having a good time but if that was a football crowd there'd have been police swarming the place. I didn't see a single officer.

Yep, we need to remember this is rugby league, the sport of the yorkshire radgepacket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 There were loads of them standing drinking and singing outside the Newcastle Arms/Rosie's. Smashed glass and rubbish everywhere. I know they were just having a good time but if that was a football crowd there'd have been police swarming the place. I didn't see a single officer. Too true. We were around SJP last night and loads of them were freely wandering about carrying pint glasses. Any football fan doing likewise would have been swooped upon by the police sharpish. Walking back to the car a sandbag landed yards away from us, thrown from the back of a council van by some p*ss*d up blokes who were also shouting abuse at passing females. Could say it was sandbags at 10 paces but it's annoying to think of the double standards in how football and rugby fans are viewed. Having said that, 12 sets of football fans in the same city on a weekend would result in carnage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I saw a vid earlier on today, with some lads scrapping on inside the ground - was told they were Leeds Rhinos fans. Looked a bit handbags, but still not good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
