Apologies if this has been posted before, but this Mag fan has had an absolute 'mare! Maybe the fact that both teams are in claret and blue threw him off? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/newcastle-fan-epic-fail-premier-4718301 What's the first rule of going to see your team play? Make sure you turn up on the right day. Especially if it's an away game, 120 miles from home⦠Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Prepare to feel an enormous amount of sympathy for a fellow fan. Unless you're a Sunderland supporter, of course⦠Simon Hughes - a football writer who is at Turf Moor for today's Burnley game - tweeted earlier that he had seen a Newcastle fan park up near the ground, decked out in his team's shirt and scarf. Nothing unusual in that. Expect that Burnley are playing Aston Villa today. Newcastle travel to Turf Moor on Tuesday night. As Simon said himself, "the embarrassment will be etched on his soul". Indeed so. Can you imagine explaining that to your nearest and dearest when you got home early? He'll have to make the 120 mile journey back to Newcastle first. Ouch. Once we've discovered the identity of this poor sod, we're going to try and get him a ticket for Tuesday night's game. If you know who he is, let us know.
Aye you might as well have done! Would be a bit of a sickener having to follow your own game by phone though after travelling all that way!
