unclej Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Any National Express buses go up? We go to all the London aways on the buz from Chessy, Cheap as chips and a loo onboard to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was about 400 of us stuck up high in the corner of the stand. To this day I still maintain that Newcastle is the most impressive stadium I've visited in the UK and I've been Parkhead, Old Trafford etc. Seem to remember a pub over the road called the Strawberry if memory serves but not 100%. Whether it's still there now is anyone's guess. We just got hammered under the Tyne bridge with some lasses from Consett, County Durham and were dragged off to Gateshead metro centre during the day and we'd only known them 5 minutes! Bloody hell! My missus is from Consett. What did they look like!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilmslow Will Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Anyone interested in a double room in a hotel by the Quayside for the Friday and Saturday night. Booked yonks ago but won't be able to go now. Paid for but can transfer names easy enough. Paid £120 for 2 nights but will take offers for Rams fans!

To be fair I can't remember. Nothing untoward happened anyway as I was only a teenager and have always respected women. If that makes you feel any better?! I think her name was Stephanie or Sophie or something like that from a very distant memory. Deffo began with an S though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still go back to the north east to see family. Her side of it are all black and white fans (stripes!) and can't understand why I (a Durham lad born and bred) follow the Rams. I do enjoy reminding them that, even in our most desperate season in the Premiership, 4 of our 11 points came from our games against them. Newcastle is a fab city and whilst there are great pubs all over twon, the bars around Grey Street are worth a visit before and after the game.

Last time I went in there (many years ago) it was an "interesting sort of adventure" The Black Bull in Inverurie is further up the hill and quite a hike from here but is still going! Last time I went in there a few months ago it was it's usual sort of adventure, plus no Geordies in it, marvellous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reminded me in 1980 day after boxing day we went to St James and got there early doors started to queue up at the wrong end some lads from Glasgow (Rangers fans but followed the Rams when ever they could )had come down for the game they got in the queue too until some Geordies warned us OFF to the other end LOL. Wonder if they still follow Derby ? Just for the record and to all Newcastle fans that think they have always had massive attendances. The gate that day was ONLY 20,886 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Office chat today was that Newcastle aren't top only because the teams they haven't beat have been lucky. Brighton aren't the best team and Newcastle are still going to 'walk it'. That was from one of the more rational and modest ones. I'll tell you what though.... At least he calls notts by their proper name ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gate that day was ONLY 20,886 Bloody hell, I went to that as well. We won 2-0. Me & my (now sadly deceased) mate stood on their side terrace amongst the locals keeping our gobs well & truly shut. Can't remember seeing many of our fans that day. If so they were probably keeping quiet like us. Twas the norm in the 70s & early 80s if you didn't want your head caved in, especially at places like Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester & most of the London grounds when the so called 'away' end was normally occupied by the home nutters. 2 other things I remember from the day. It was the first time we encountered a young kid asking for money to 'mind' the car. Secondly said car, an old Austin 1800, broke down at wetherby on the way home leaving the 2 of us (22 years old) to hitch the last 80 miles or so down the A1 back to blighty on a freezing December night. happy days !!

Before the fergie glory years, when United were bottom half of the first division they didnt always get 70,000 every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons for me wanting to go to Newcastle was to tackle the 'Curry Hell' challenge - but the Rupali Restaurant, the home of the 'hottest curry in the world', has now closed. That, plus the fact that I'm now unemployed, means I might give this one a miss. I've been waiting for this moment for a while. ahem. Half Fan!
