irish man needing advice

thinking of taking my 10 year old son who supports chelsea to the game at st james's as we are over newcastle that weekend from ireland hes never been to a game found it difficult getting tickets for away stand but can get tickets for home stands just wondered if advise any stands to sit without any trouble as dont want to put lad of matches for life by getting aggro at his 1st ever game?

 

Try the East Stand or Milburn stand. I'm sure he will be ok but I would advise that maybe he hides his top under his coat and doesn't shout too much should Chelsea score

 

Shouldn't be any aggro towards a ten year old, any idiot starting any would soon be stopped by the common sense fans around you. Try and get a seat in the lower level, nearer the scene of action and less chance of aggro.

Maybe your son will end up being a Newcastle fan after the game.

 

im a derby county fan myself for my sins so im impartial lol ill try and keep him calm ( thats if they score!!) thanks

 

No chance for you then.

 

i know that lol is the stadium much of a trek from the airport?

 

Wouldn't walk it. Never done that journey myself but the public service transport is quite good.

Travelling from the airport to the stadium is also very easy with local Metro service linking the airport and stadium via one change at Monument Metro station or you can walk the short distance from Monument Metro station. There are also taxi and hotel shuttle services available.

 

wouldn't like to walk it,but it's about 6miles

 

bus it is then thanks for the advice much appreciated hope the rest of your season goes well

 

Just jump straight on the metro, it'll take you both to the city centre for a couple quid and the stadium is 2 minutes from there

 

As AB has said the metro is only about 200yards from the airport doors
and you get off at the Monument and it's only a 4minute walk from there

 

brill cheers guys easy enough sounding even for a paddy lol

 

we''ll make a Geordie of you yet

 

why aye man lol thanks a million

 

Quite a large Irish settlement over here.

If you'd been travelling on your own there's a Tyneside Irish Club near the ground where you could have stopped off for some refreshment.

 

I'd book in the family enclosure in the Milburn (Level 7) if I were you (it's cheaper... but you don't get the best view).
I'd also make sure he doesn't wear opposing team colours as I've seen Stewards escort people out who get into what is still classed as the home end.
You could buy direct from nufc.co.uk or alternatively look on Viagogo as fans who can't make it often put their tickets up for sale on there.

 

The views not too bad, you see the whole field, the only problem is that you see the players running round like midgets.

 

To me we look like we always have 10 men as I don't see Anita at all.
