Agreed - looked pink from any sort of distance. They had the last laugh though IIRC as they won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely 89-90, can't say for sure the score but think Craig's right, 0-1 if the brain's still functioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 20145 Posted yesterday at 09:56 Share Posted yesterday at 09:56 (edited) During the divi 2 run in that ended with that wish should not be named but did us more good than harm in the long run... Was at this a couple of weeks later in the home end 😱 I think a young @Howmanheyman was lucky enough to get a ticket in the away section .. Quinn was playing on one leg, Scotty scored after 10 mins which is a fuckin long time to keep quiet 😆 Edited yesterday at 10:03 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 38660 Posted yesterday at 10:00 Share Posted yesterday at 10:00 Must've been the season KK took over they beat us, sure they had a similar strip? Think it was one of the games in a bad run after KK's good start where we went to shit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting mixed up with the game 2 seasons later where they wore an equally garish kit.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn was playing on one leg, Scotty scored after 10 mins which is a fuckin long time to keep quiet 😆 The game where Dillon put the icing on his season's cake by running from the half way line all on his lonesome then ran straight towards the keeper before forgetting to either round him or chip him or touch the ball away before trying to get a free kick/pen/sending off. Went to quite a few away games that year but missed the very few victories until this one where I really didn't fancy our chances after bull put four away at SJP on NYD. When the useless mackem bastard fluffed that chance to make it two and seal the win I feared the worst but we improbably held on for the win. 1 hour ago, Craig said: Absolutely ridiculous, wasn't it?

I remember him going on a run in one game towards the Gallowgate, one on one with a keeper and promptly sticking his laces through it and it soaring high over the top of the gallowgate terrace.

Shit hole of a ground Me too, only thing I remember about it is a load of Edinburgh lads around us, a policeman saying to one of us 'cant take banner t'match' and us doing impressions of him all day, and Quinny equalising in a shit game where an ex-smoggie scored called Curry. Oh aye, how could I forget? Was on the terrace early and saw a rusty wheelbarrow full of pies in it being wheeled across the the away end towards a hut/kiosk. (I gave them a miss tbh). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 7989 Posted yesterday at 15:08 Author Share Posted yesterday at 15:08 Fucking hell I'm glad I arrived too late to witness the pies. The coach got held up by the police as we were coming into Barnsley IIRC. The ground was marginally better than Hull's shit hole - remember standing there freezing to fucking death in the FAC 3rd Round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 20145 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago We drove down and couldn't find our car for about two hours after the game our excuse was "well it was daylight when we parked up".. lots of recently redundant scary as shit ex miners staring at us shiftily as we wandered the same streets half a dozen times... not as scary as Boro but still up there.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league cup game at Ayresome in 92/93 is the most scared I've ever been at a football match. I think it was the game where some of our lot first wore the HAZMAT overalls and face masks and the locals didn't take kindly to it 😬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4781 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) I went there for a midweek game in 83 when I was at university in Bradford so I went with a posh kid from Gosforth and his mate from somewhere in London who was an arsenal fan who as you can imagine were complete fannies. We got a local train back to Leeds and it had its windows put out with bricks which was nice. (Referring to Barnsley).

Howmanheyman 38660 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Probably mentioned it before but one of the times I was at Ayresome the match had finished and they had put some of the pitiful away allocation they gave us onto local double decker buses before driving us to thornaby train station. Anyway, We're nearly all on the bus waiting when we see someone legging it through that back lane with a few others in pursuit behind him, no colours on anyone. The lad out in front dodges in-between buses and jumps into one, only one seems to correctly follow his direction but obviously doesn't notice he's stepped onto the bus until the lad steps back out just in time to absolutely knock the I presume Boro chaser clean out. Couple of police eventually came over but the lad wandered off to either get on another bus or make his way elsewhere. We pulled off as the police were presumably giving the once pursuer some smelling salts. It was like the ok corral around that stadium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 7989 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago The Magpie's 'nest'. The upstairs flat was the 'boardroom' for a meeting in May 1892 between the directors of Newcastle East End and the recently folded Newcastle West End where the decision was made for East End to move to West End's ground at St James' Park with the idea of attracting West End's fan base too. Essentially the birth place of the club we know today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
