It really is absolute nonsense. To access the away end, you need to use the turnstiles situated within the main covered thoroughfare used by a massive number of home fans. I’ve been to every away game we’ve had there in recent years across the Champ and PL and see absolutely no reason why having us situated pitch side would run any increased risks.It isn’t allowed under Premier League rules which state that away fans should be given at least one block pitch side.
However, Newcastle have been granted an exemption under safety grounds as their safety advisory group have claimed moving fans pitch side increases the risk of confrontation in and outside of the stadium.
Absolute nonsense. Just employ sufficient stewards to funnel fans separately and cough up for the additional costs.
100%……..the ‘increased risk of confrontation’ doesn’t seem to materialise in pubs before and after the game in Newcastle either.It really is absolute nonsense.

And risk a 10 match ban ?Hi there, I’m a big football fan from Scotland who’s going to be in Newcastle for a few days.
If anyone with 2 tickets who possibly can’t make it for whatever reason, or anyone with spares, I could pick them up on match day and pay for them.
Thanks.
I’m not, I’m just away for a break and wanting to go to a game.And risk a 10 match ban ?
I can't see anyone helping you as clearly you are unaware of recent club policy changes regarding away tickets
bought mine 01:00 Monday morning and it arrived this morning at about 10:00....What happens if you buy a ticket when it's too late to post it out (like tomorrow) - do you just pick it up at the ground or something?
The club policy for away tickets is name written on ticket and potential random checks with photo ID.I’m not, I’m just away for a break and wanting to go to a game.
What is the policy?
In a nutshell, the policy means you have more chance of getting a couple of spares from a Brighton fan for an Elvis Presley gig than you do for an away matchI’m not, I’m just away for a break and wanting to go to a game.

And this person joins with an ‘interesting’ username!! I know there’s a martial art that uses that name … but it also has a very derogatory meaning! Unless they’re talking about a sandwich … short of a picnic maybe!!In a nutshell, the policy means you have more chance of getting a couple of spares from a Brighton fan for an Elvis Presley gig than you do for an away match
It’s not sold out, you can buy legitimately from the club website (if you have purchase history).Hi there, I’m a big football fan from Scotland who’s going to be in Newcastle for a few days.
