I think 26k tickets have been sold so far, with them expecting to sell between 27k-30k. £10 for two games, and a fan park around the ground isn’t bad. No doubt food and drink will cost a fortune though, at least there will be drinking in the stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty the sport bores me and I take no interest in it. Just Saturday there has been a bit of a gap between the football, cheap tickets, and I can sit with my friends and have a few drinks. Going to a rugby game maybe entirely different to watching one on TV. If half way through the game doesn’t interest me then the tickets were cheap enough for me and my friends to just sack it off and do something else.

afar Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I wasn't aware that the Falcons were playing there this weekend, hopefully the city gets well behind them, they've had a fantastic season and deserve it. Loved going to watch them at Kingston Park in the 90's when we won the league, Kingston park was blowly as hell but it was great to be able to get so close to the players and we used to walk from one end of the ground to the other at half time to be closer to the action, as we tended to dominate territory at home in those days. Football will always be king in Newcastle but in all honesty we've been a hell of a lot more successful in the other sports like Rugby, Ice Hockey (at least when they had a team) and Basketball in my lifetime.

I find it distasteful as well, but I'm assuming the club will generate about £500 or something from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no interest in Rugby Union so I'll be giving it a miss but fair play that Newcastles Rugby team now appear to be a bigger draw than Sunderlands football team these days.

This, all the rugby stuff has been great for the city......went to a couple of the World Cup games a few years back and they were excellent. Newcastle was also voted the best venue in the competition by the visiting fans, that's why the RFU are so keen to use it for events. Also, the Falcons have done incredibly well this season, particualrly with their limited resources compared to other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 When you look at the pictures today of Level 7 unused and other parts of the stadium being empty, it really is incredible that the same stadium is full every other Saturday for our games. especially when we were in the Championship too. The stadium being half empty looks so weird as compared to for example the Stadium of shite down the road where it would look weird if it was full.

xLiaaamx Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Happy for the Falcons, but not enthused about Rugby being played at SJP when we still have 4 important games to play before the next relaying of the turf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
