BiscuitXXI 0 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hello, I'm currently looking into tickets for the Liverpool game. It will be the first time for a long time that I've seen Newcastle play at home, and am looking for advice on where best to sit, difference in atmosphere between stands, that sort of thing. Not bothered about price, I just want to be sure that I can actually see that its Newcastle I'm watching. Cheers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WDP Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Best seats in the house in my view are the back 5-10 rows of the East Stand, but more or less on the half way line. Cheaper than the Platinum, but I'd still imagine about 45-50 quid for the dippers game. Atmospheres shite though, it is everywhere unless we're playing the mackems.

Holden McGroin 7092 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) £40 i believe for the east stand. Great view (of stadium and pitch) but the atmosphere is a bit dull - as Stevie said. Edited November 25, 2010 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only watch the match but the waves rolling up onto Tynemouth Longsands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'd go along with Stevie, East stand, midway up and near halfway gives you the best view of both the pitch and the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The East Stand is good for being able to tell players apart but if you're over 5'5" or under 50 it's bloody uncomfortable. I hear they have "quiet" signs on the back of every seat covered in the blood from peoples knees. Should be nicely jumping in the L7 corner at 5.30pm on Boxing day though. Have some fun up there man...and use the saving to buy 4 more pints beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WDP Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Man City at home is on the 26th and Spurs is the Tuesday after Xmas (28th). Aye Spurs is my next away game not been for 17 years, I'm sure the area hasn't improved was like a cross between Lagos and Istanbul last time I was there, not got a ticket like but I'm sure I'll get one nearer the time off someone.

Aye but it's got a rouguish charm for me round there and it's pretty local for where I stay. I really don't hate Millwall, they have some really good fans, Tottenham on the other hand.......

Tom 14026 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 When you go to grounds like Goodison and White Hart Lane and then you pop to SJP for a match you feel like god has kissed you with a mouthful of whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WDP Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 When you go to grounds like Goodison and White Hart Lane and then you pop to SJP for a match you feel like god has kissed you with a mouthful of whiskey. My first trips to the likes of these grounds were around 1993, and you build up these mental impressions that they are amazing. Goodison is an absolute hell hole, a Bradford waiting to happen, White Hart Lane was disappointing and so was Anfield and that was when the Kop was standing the first time I ws there. The two grounds I was blown away by were the Baseball Ground, still probably my favourite ground and The Den (the old one). Loudest noise I ever heard was at The Den in our promotion season, so genuinely intimidating, we won 2-1, and went on to go up a few games later, but were 1-0 down and the entire ground all in one voice "NO ONE LIKES US NO ONE LIKES US NO ONE LIKES WE DOWWWNT CAYAH, WE ARE MIWWAWW SUPER MIWWAWW WE ARE MIWWAWW FROM THE DEN!!!", phooo sent shivers down your spine then they lobbed bricks after us after the game from the hill, away games were always interesting in them days.

Barney 0 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Not entirely familiar with London, but I've been to Selhurst Park, Loftus Road and WHL and felt I was in the middle of nowhere with the first 2, and in a shit hole for Tottenham.

Selhurst Park is a terrible location there's just fuck all there at all. Two pubs, a Sainsbury's, a shit chippy, an offy and three train stations. The best thing about it was we'd take 10,000 there against Wimbledon, and did a few times. Our away support was class then. I counted up a few years ago, I've been to over 60 grounds home, Scotland and abroad, some of which no longer exist, but never been to QPR, would like to though. Biggest one I've never been to is probably Nottingham Forest. I tell you what though if I was an away fan who had never been to Newcastle I'm pretty sure that I'd leave SJP with a pretty good impression of the city and stadium when you compare it to other away day experiences.

Barney 0 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I loved Selhurst as nufc took up most of the Arthur Wait(or was it Main?) stand against Wimbledon about 15years or so ago. Nothing nearby though. Loftus Road was a bit of craic as the game turned into a riot, with fans spilling onto the pitch/riot police etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
