What is it and how do you earn it? Not606 confuses me, its like people have full time jobs in this website. Better than the dark side though obviously.
what is an infraction and why do I have one?
Nahh, far from it, don't worry.
I'm from Lincoln, which is nowhere really, midlands, the boring zone.
EDIT; Still proud to be an Imp! I'm all for local support, don't you worry.
14 years of being an avid Newcastle fan and I am yet to visit St. James. Shocking, I know.
My parents had extreme difficulty being able to arrange for me to go when I was a child, what with my dad being the only person in my family able to take me, and he worked constantly anyway. I am also the only Newcastle supporter out of all of my friends so had no one to go with when I became old enough to travel such a distance on my own.
It really is gutting, because it's the one thing I want to do most in the world, and the one place I'd love to visit.
Now I know more Newcastle fans though after moving to uni, and more fans of just general football, I'm definitely organising something soon.
As much as I fell in love with the club as a kid, as much as I constantly follow and support them from home, I'll never really feel like a proper fan until I actually go.
That, and my mum owns a picture of me in a Manc shirt when I was 2. I was forced, honestly. I believe I destroyed the picture several years ago. [/embarrassment]
I can understand your position Acid-Hippo. I've never been to St James' either and i've been supporting for nearly 40 years. Like you i don't come from the north east (i'm from Guernsey) and i don't have any Toon supporting friends. I could have made it there under my own steam but i think of going to football as a social event and i don't really want to go on my own. Like you my failure to go gives me doubts about whether that makes me a real fan or not, but in truth only we know the depth of our support. I know that i follow the club avidly and have never waivered and if you feel the same that is enough for me.
