timeEd32 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 99% sure my first ever visit will be in a few weeks for Southampton. Words can't describe how excited I am. Nice one. Probs best to avoid sitting near the majority off here. Tickets secured in the Gallowgate. So fucking pumped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 So, this concert thing is new, right? Looks like Kings of Leon have a gig in May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 So, this concert thing is new, right? Looks like Kings of Leon have a gig in May. New for this regime. Had Bryan Adams in 2006 and Rod Stewart in 2007.

bhoywhonder Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 If this is a success this could spell the end for concerts at the Estadio de Lose. Poor buggers, they don't have much bless 'em. We'll be nicking their air show next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be nicking their air show next. My understanding (not sure if it's true) is that we can't host the air show because both Newcastle and our coast is too close to the airport and flight paths. Though Sunderland is still close in terms of air space it can be worked around for 48 hours where as having it at say Newcastle or Cullercoats isn't.

Don't recall owt happening then at Joker though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I would like to shelve my proposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsted Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Bob Dylan also played St.James' Park... Oh yeah. Never been a fan so I forgot. Apparently he chose his vocal style after meeting Woody Guthrie when he was towards the end of his life and suffering from Huntington's Disease, so slurring his speech. David Quantick told me that the other day on one of his R2 Blagger's Guides so it might be true. Yeeeyuh. Hah duz it feeyul...? Woody's song "This Land Is Your Land" from the 40s is the basis of a couple of those on the dreadfully named Your Favourite Footie Chants? thread btw.

timeEd32 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 99% sure my first ever visit will be in a few weeks for Southampton. Words can't describe how excited I am. Nice one. Probs best to avoid sitting near the majority off here. Tickets secured in the Gallowgate. So f***ing pumped. Despite the draw, what an experience and what a magnificent stadium. Even my wife had a fantastic time. I got chills seeing it from the train as we pulled into the city. I love how it appears, almost as if out of nowhere, as you drive around Newcastle. Standing at the bottom of the Gallowgate at field level looking up at the Leazes End is a sight to behold. To make the weekend even better, on Sunday my cousin took us to the training ground. I just wanted to see where it was and get a picture in front of the gates. Well, the gates were open so we drove in. I got out to take a quick picture, expecting to be kicked out at any second. The security guard came out and my cousin yells "he's come from America!" After chatting for a few minutes he invited us in for a tour. Showed us the training schedule, game room, cafeteria and back patio looking out to all of the training pitches, physio room, Pardew's office and changing room (he had left some dirty socks on the floor), and the coaches office. He wasn't allowed to show us the dressing room, which would have been icing on the cake, but certainly no complaints. All in all, what a weekend in the Toon.
