CUP SCHEMES DEADLINE LOOMS!

 Posted ‘high noon 🛎️ bells’  Munday 23rd Joon 2025

CAN YOO SPOT THE TWO CATHEDRALS IN THIS PHOTO!?🤔

WARNING!

The deadline for Season Ticket holders to join the 3 cup schemes iz ‘5:00 pm bells 🔔’ this Friday!

Season ticket holders who DIVVINT join the schemes ARE NOT gaurenteed a ticket for those games and must join the Mags members for ‘a free for aall’ in a lottery to get one!

We understand the concerns of some fans with (say) 2 kids that must pay £120 to watch Champions Leegue futbaall!

Unfortunately, like everything else, prices are gannin through the roof and soon it will be an average of a fiver a pint in The Toon boozers az well!

The Geordie Times haz egg 🍳 on wor faces az we predicted that we would probably get a crowd of under 30,000 for wor pre season friendly v Atletico Madrid, az it woz £25 for an adult ticket—-BUT how wrang we were, az the game iz a complete 52,300 selloot! (For a friendly!)

Talk of the new stadium seems to have vanished from the headlines, but az we aall naa 52,300 iz not big enough now, with the demand for tickets far exceedin wor current capacity!

Hopefully news on that will appear soon—BUT divvint haad yi breath, 😵az we were told that news of a new stadium would be announced 5 months ago, but of course it wozzint!

We will of course bring yoo news of that when we (eventually?) find oot!??? 

Az per usual—“Watch this space!”

48 GAMES AND COONTIN’!

 Posted ‘high noon 🕛 🔔 bells’ Friday 20th Joon 2025

THE CHAMPIONS LEEGUE FINAL WILL BE IN BUDAPEST, WHERE NUFC WON THE INTER CITIES FAIRS CUP IN 1969***A LUCKY OMEN?

“I HAVE A DREAM!😴 “

Includin’ the Premyaa Leegue, the Leegue Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions Leegue, NUFC will play a minimum of 48 games next season!

That’s ANLY if we get knocked oot of the 2 domestic Cup competitions at the forst hurdle—and the Champions Leegue in the group stage!

And if we progress in aall 3 competitions, that total could rise to 67 games! —5 more games in the League Cup if we reach the final—5 more games in the FA Cup if we reach the final—9 more games in the Champions Leegue if we have to qualify for the knockoot roonds and the final via the play offs! (Wishful ‘Finkin’ perhaps?)

For any Toon fan intending to to gan to every game home and away, it will be the most expensive season ever, running into thoosands of poonds (and Euros of course!)

“The MAGical Mystery Tour iz waitin to take us AWAY!”

(Even 'The Dibble' were clappin'!)
"NEE 'SOCIAL DISTANCIN' IN THOSE DAYS!"

The Fairs Cup celebrations continued from the previous day (see below) when we paraded the coverted silverware aroond St James' Park.

One home made banner made oot of a tatty bed sheet and hand written in black paint summed it up: "IT'S WOR CUP!", the banner proclaimed!

Aa was somewhere in the Centre Paddock that day and it was a very special day for me for it was aalso mee 15th borthday!

It is STILL to this day the best borthday 'present' that a'v ever had!
("Er!"---"It shouldn't be tooo hard to work oot how old I am today!? <("quick!---pass mee zimmerframe!")
