Class. :aww:

 

Felt so spoilt living in the Toon for a few years, being able to see the stadium all the time. Obviously it's never as exciting as the first time you see it, but whenever I was in a place where you could see the stadium, I'd always at least glance at it - every single time. Never simply 'got used' to it being there. Especially at night time with those glowing yellow pitch lights. Top of our uni library gave a brilliant view into the Milburn, too. So, awesome man. Ridiculously proud of SJP.

Heading over next month for the spurs match. What part of the ground Is good these days? I used to sit up in level 7 good atmosphere but f***ing hated climbing up the stairs

 

Level 7 is nowhere near as good as it used to be since they removed the singing section. It might be decent with it being a night game though and depending on how many fans Spurs bring. Anywhere near the Strawberry corner down at the Gallowgate would be decent as well if you're looking for a bit of atmosphere.

I've seen photos of crowd banners and cup final buses where it was spelled "Haway" or "Hawway" and I've got an 80s scarf where it's spelled "Ha'way".

 

The whole howay is Geordie and haway is mackem thing is pretty recent I reckon.  Our "Howay the Lads" sign in the tunnel and Sunderland's "Haway the Lads" spelled out on their seats is probably what solidified it.

True, I never really heard it made a deal of or mentioned until after they moved stadiums. Seeing them hats, in exactly that style, is one of my bizarre vivid memories from early 90's games- when I heard the howay/ha'way thing it didn't compute and just assumed it was my memory playing tricks on me. Good to know they did exist and I'm not a complete mentalist anyway!!

They're some canny hi-res pics for the era Disco. Where'd you get them from?

 

 

That weird fella that does all the class photography and has the museum in Ambleside.

 

5-0 after 4 minutes, those were the days!

 

Counted down didn't it?
