Blofield Canary 11 Posted February 19, 2012 Whats the view like? You get a great view of the whole pitch. Unfortunately you are so far away from it you need a telescope to see who has the ball. Its a bit like watching a table football game being played in your garden from an upstairs window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,788 Posted February 19, 2012 yes, and you might want to take the lift instead of the 14 flights of stairs if youre unfit (like me) or have a dodgy ticker !?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 245 Posted February 19, 2012 Bah, take no notice.Its a fantastic stadium and a great away day - parking''s a doddle and there are pubs a plenty near the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Juler 153 Posted February 20, 2012 For anyone planning a trip to Newcastle I''d hold off booking travel etc. as I''ve got a feeling our game could easily be moved to the Sunday for live Sky coverage. The current scheduled Sky 4pm match is Aston Villa v Bolton, but with Bolton in the 6th round this will be postponed. The three Saturday fixtures still going ahead are:Fulham v SwanseaNewcastle v NorwichWigan v West BromIn my mind our match would be the most logical choice for Sky.

Had my hotel booked for several weeks totally forgetting it was the FA cup scheduled for that day. Thought when we lost on Saturday my booking was safe, now you have put me into depression again. Was going to book train last night but couldn''t find a ticket for under £90. May hold off a bit longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was quoted almost £80 return from London (based on the Saturday) about 6 weeks ago, but it was only valid there and then for 10+ travellers, so had to say no.

nutty nigel 7,547 Posted February 20, 2012 [quote user="NWC"]Bah, take no notice.Its a fantastic stadium and a great away day - parking''s a doddle and there are pubs a plenty near the ground.[/quote]All that is right NWC[Y] But so are the comments about where the away fans are placed.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted February 20, 2012 There''s parking right next to the ground, but you''d need to get there early to get a space. There''s several multi-storey car parks in the city and the ground is within easy walking distance from these as Newcastle is a fairly compact city or there''s Claremont road car park which is near the RVI hospital again within easy walking distance to the ground but also on the outskirts so near to the dual carraigeway. I wouldn''t really recommend any of the pubs next to the ground for away fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted February 20, 2012 My chances of tickets in Group 4 please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blofield Canary 11 Posted February 20, 2012 Applications for Newcastle will be open later this week. Its a long trip and probably wont be very cheap so a decent chance of GP 4 getting a ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HillsboroughCanary 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Just spoke to the ticket office...Tickets are not being released by NUFC until they get the decision from Sky as to whether the game is to be televised or not.It looks like they''ll go straight to general sale, and that they''ll be able to be bought from 9am on Sunday. From what I understand, it''ll probably be the later kick off on the Sunday if it''s Sky''d.I''m going to be there either way - it''s a short trip from Sheffield, and I''m stopping overnight with a mate (NUFC supporter who bought his ticket this morning - they''ve released them to home "members")Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Agree with Nutty and NWC on this except that the seats are too high up in the stand or at least they were when the away fans were seated in the corner. I believe they''re behind the goal now so it will be a little nearer to the pitch this time.It really is a great stadium though. Right in the city centre, very near the train station and there''s loads of pubs and places to eat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been down on the pitch there and it amazed me how big a slope there is in one corner of the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newcastle Canary 0 Posted February 22, 2012 Game has now been moved to Sunday at 4pm for Sky purposes.. Had some friends coming up to visit who booked trains home for late Sunday afternoon who are very pissed off! Anyway, as it is... Newcastle is not only a great night out but the ground is so close to the town centre/pubs etc it is a great away day. The locals are passionate but very friendly as well which makes for a good atmosphere! Happy to give suggestions on some good/cheap drinking places as well!
