Yeah I'll pass thanks. Already done Burnley too and off to Fulham that weekend.
Could do with a decent fa cup draw really or else I won't do any new ones this season for the first time in about a decade. Your place or Luton ideally.
Save it for when we’re playing in something identical to Reading’s or Lesta’s three miles from the nearest train station on a retail park with a Harvester. Or better yet don’t and we’ll probably be non-league in a decade anyway.
Stoke too. Right next to the motorway junction miles from anywhere. Coventry just as bad.
As **** as our ground is I've always been grateful it's right near the city centre at least.
It's got plenty back street boozers I suppose, just **** all from the direction I arrive/park. They're all on the otherside.
They closed the only decent taproom place.
Does have the obligatory Harvester bang outside, but never go in.
And a KFC and Costa.
Doing a little backstreet **** hole pub crawl Boxing Day as it goes.
Would buy H4H a beer but I doubt the trains are running.

There's serious talk about us moving and I'm mostly against it to be honest. We can't really expand St James above 60k but I'd prefer to have it at that and stay in the city centre. Each club has to find it's own identity to try and feel unique to their fans and it shouldn't just be about having a swanky stadium with a bigger attendance and merchandise - I think moving away from being visible from the city itself would have us lose something intangibly massive. Beginning to worry I'm in the minority though against those who want a bigger stadium, nicer seats and better facilities. I do see the appeal of course.
Ours is indeed an identikit stadium very similar to St Mary's... but it is literally at the end of one of the streets that the old ground was on - literally less than a 5 minute walk away ... so we've more or less stayed 'in-situ' ... which is far more palatable (to me at least) to moving away from the City and closer to the motorways etc...
From last night at stack ..... the writings on the wall I feel...it's going to happen due to PSR

COO Brad Miller personally asked the audience if they would want Newcastle United to have St James Park moved elsewhere with the large majority now acceptive of the idea.
Number of seats said to be 80k

There's a Starbucks next to the KFC, across the river.
The Costa is next to the Harvester, right outside.
Perfect pre match places for the discerning football goer!
More the matchday experience mate ... you know, when you actually go to the ground to watch it
