NE5 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 As I now live in Denmark, for my bloody sins I usually get to the temple on the hill around 5-6 times a season. never mind Mick it has its compensations Been here 16 years now (where's my bloody gun) the biggest compensation is cash earned. When I want a piece of the real world its off to Copehagen or home to West Denton. Can't believe I actually compared the two but as they say abscence makes the heart grow fonder. Mind I was home for the Blackburn game that made the heart apathetic!! where are you ? I've been to Esbjerg and Aalborg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 One home game this season, which was Man City. Not really worth the trans-Atlantic flight, but your first time is always special I guess. I hope to get at least 2~3 in next season, as my school schedule will hopefully be less hectic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well? People who lie will be killed. omg !!!! Do you really want me to count since 1964 Check the present tense in the title. most home games between 1964-1969. Started to go to away games + home games in 1970. Got season ticket in 1973. Gave it up in 1976 as I started working away and was sometimes out of the country, until 1988, but during those years saw about 10 home games and 10 away games at a guess. Bought season ticket back in 1989 when my life stabalised again, and have kept it ever since. Don't miss too many home games through work or whatever, I've missed the odd cup game this season through living outside of Newcastle these days like you do , nor go to as many away games as I did before I got married, had family etc etc, but I'm renewing next season. Even when we had a s*** board at the end of the 80's I renewed, and travelled up home from all over the country .... Who asked what you did in 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s? Like Dave said, check the present tense in the title! The question refers to a repeated activity so the use of the present tense actually refers to all seasons. To be precise about it you would have to specify 'this season' or 'since the year 2000'. If you're going to be a smartarse its best to be correct, which your not.

Guest Geordiesned Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Season ticket holder and go to between 10 and 15 away games a season. soopafan! Did I claim to be? I've merely followed the flow of the other posts and qualified my answer. You're really having trouble understanding that concept today aren't you old man? Forgotten to take your pills again? Or are you just trying to make yourself look superior again? Are you going to follow up your juvenile response with tales of how you once caught Hughie Gallagher's left boot when he threw it into the crowd after winning the Championship? After all, you're the only soopafan round here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What killed me wasn't that we lost, it was that the players had already completely lost the fans. The small Man City away section completely out-cheered the entirety of SJP for the whole game. You could hear a pin drop where me and my mate were sitting. Just a horrible, horrible year for the club, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting match day atmosphere at football grounds is a bit of a problem and needs addressing by the authorities, the solution IMO is allowing standing areas again.
