Where's best to park, are there manned car parks near the ground?

Hospital multi story isn't too bad

I always park at 'Gateshead' or 'Gateshead stadium' Metro station. Then get the metro into Newcastle Central. 15 minutes total from metro to footy ground and simple as fuck.

Which pub will our fans be in? Getting the train up should be there by 2pm

Redman92 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 2, 2015, 09:04:37 AM »

Quite a lot of us in O'Neills 2 seasons ago outside central station. Would be a shout going there first.

I always go in beehive. Dead cheap. About £2 a pint. Was a few seasons ago I think we won 6-1? Was it. 5.30 kick off I believe. Ended up getting hammered and not even making it to the ground was in a right state missed my train home as well

What a match to miss though!

sidlfc90 · « **Reply #45 on:** December 2, 2015, 11:11:42 AM »

I will more than likely go in both! Is the beehive anywhere near the ground?

Driving up and staying in Gatsehead, best place to start by the station then? Should be there about 12 - Been Newcastle about 30 times but never for the footy so don't know where the away fans usually go.

O'Neills, Beehive, Head of Steam and Sam Jacks all watering holes for away fans

Cheers mate - Sam Jacks is in the Gate isn't it? Will head there about 2 then if that'll be closest the ground and full of reds.

Redman92 · « **Reply #49 on:** December 2, 2015, 01:53:54 PM »

Yes mate, not too far from ground at all. Usually a mix of fans in Sam Jacks. Expecting to arrive in Newcastle around 12.30 and go straight in O'Neills for first bevvie.

I've done Newcastle away the last 4/5 years and went to Sam Jacks most times - but would be keen to get somewhere beforehand where there's reds so beehive and O'neills sounds good.

Very bad weather conditions around Newcastle on Sat/Sun lots of train disruptions

andy07 · « **Reply #52 on:** December 5, 2015, 01:12:38 PM »

Darlington is a good bet for the train, plenty of parking and gets you in and out with no hassle.

Easing tonight apparently. Better day all round forecast tomorrow so hopefully it'll help with the travel plans.

Hope the pitch isn't waterlogged!

Trev20 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 6, 2015, 09:59:47 AM »

Storm Desmond is causing plenty of disruption.

Quick heads up lads, Oneills 8s now called Victoria Comet, in there now. Few reds kicking about

they are one of the reasons it was brought in!!

Interesting some of their fans want the away end closer to improve the atmosphere too

Looks like the away section will be up in the gods again next season:

This is actually good news allocation wise as I feared their generous away allocation might have being reduced if they were forced to move away fans.

Shanklygates · « **Reply #61 on:** March 24, 2018, 10:51:03 PM »

It is farcical though that the PL create a "rule" then don't enforce it. It is not a rule then, and you could argue gives Newc an unfair advantage.

I don't get how moving us to a lower tier represents a safety issue when we go in opposite home fans to the lower tier in that end, and they have a Police/steward line afterwards (until we get past the ground into the car park or road)

What is the issue??

Given that Sunderland moves us the other way round - from the bottom to the top tier, and their partitions are just gaps not railings..... $:-\$

Any views on buying a ticket in the home section? I’m female (in case that makes a difference).

Craig67 · « **Reply #63 on:** March 17, 2019, 07:18:44 PM »

I've been in the home section at St James a couple of times. Never had any problems - obviously respectful of the fact that I'm in the home end, but must have been obvious a couple of times and no-one bothered us. Could just have been lucky, dunno.

I'd have thought you'd be fine so long as you don't take the piss of course. You can join in with all their Rafa songs too!

DangerScouse · « **Reply #65 on:** March 17, 2019, 08:34:07 PM »

They didn't take too kindly to some of our fans being in the away section at Anfield in 2014. There were a few slaps dished out.

Home fans will be different I suspect, and you can be assured you won't be the only one, if it's a potential decider.
