front right there, remember as a kid all the coppers used to emerge from that alley just before the end of the match before standing in a line in front of the leazes. usually accompanied by a chorus of f-troop and harry roberts.

the good old 70s!   :lol:

what game is that a photo from?

 

Everyone else: "I wonder what game that was and what was happening?"

 

BD: "Take down that incriminating evidence, FFS!"

Newcastle fans in the Man City end... allegedly.

 

that east corner of what was left of the leazes terrace was where the cool cats used to hang out for a while in the mid 80s  :lol:

also upstairs in the east stand as near as you could get to the leazes as they'd give that last section to away supporters. was in there for the last game of the season against tottenham, was also chris waddle's last game for us before he fucked off to join them.

got locked up for scrapping and ended up in market street dungeons till the early hours of sunday morning sharing a cell with jimmy fucking chargesheet!

obviously I was innocent, not sure about jimmy.   :lol:

My first ST was in the East stand quite near the away fans from 83 to 91 and I also stood in the Leazes for a couple of years before that. 

 

Jimmy Chargesheet - what a blast from the past - complete heed the ball.

aye, never seen him for donkey's years, quite hard to miss him really with his distinctive tyne bridge tattoo!

anyway, hope he's still going strong, whatever he's up to these days.  :)

During a close season in the early 80s a load my mates and lots of other lads we all knew from the match went to Berwick for a piss up, joined by a Newcastle fan "Peter from Berwick" and his mates. It say it was a crazy day was an understatement. Every pub we went to something funny or crackers happened.  During the day and I don't know why but (allegedly) Mr Chargesheet jumped on top of a police car and tried to pull the police sign off the top of it 😂 When the pubs shut in the afternoon (can you believe they did that in them days) we had a football game Us v Berwick Mags and then into the sea for a swim, not the best idea seeing we were all mortal. I seem to recall someone got attacked by a jelly fish and nearly drowned.  The police eventually caught up to Jimmy and nicked him, no one seen him again that day or the day after, along with a few others.  Some crashed  out at Peter from Berwick's house as he had about a dozen mattresses at his place, some crashed out on the golf course or the train station.  I miss the 80s 😂

 

He gets a mention in this article on Geordie Times from a while ago.

Not really NUFC related but the old supporters club shop was just around the corner,

The Farmers Rest, football lot at the back. Great memories.

do you know when that photo is dated from?

there's no advertising hoardings round the pitch, my earliest memories are of being in the popular side in 67/68ish towards the gallowgate corner. no real memories now of the matches, can remember at times being freezing cold and bored, sure I'd sit with me legs underneath the boards chucking peanuts at pigeons on the cinder track.   :)
