I'll be moving to Wylam, which is a village about 20 minutes by train from Newcastle, in the early part of next year hopefully.

Wylam is a nice little village, I recommend the Chinese takeaway there.

I've been in Birkenhead for the last 21 years, so not at the same time as you. I've managed to find a couple more fans here, in addition to my two sons!!!

I park in Birkenhead most work days (Hamilton Square) to get the train into Liverpool. I live in North Wales though.

So it would appear your life must be now back on track ?

Fingers crossed, yes.

Wylam is a nice little village, I recommend the Chinese takeaway there.

It's got a very nice pizza restaurant (The Wood Oven) as well.

I shall be watching the game in Newcastle tomorrow with another locally-based Albion fan - anyone else planning to head into town for it?

Hey ho - how did I miss this thread?!? I've lived in and around Newcastle for 30 years! Used to live in Sandyford in my balls to the floor student days.

Now in Northumberland, north of Morpeth, Ponteland was my home town - well Darras Hall ahem...

Great days.

Rock On!

Kosh

Happy to go anywhere central that will have it on!

How about The Crown Carvery pub just across from Eldon Square bus station, practically opposite Haymarket Metro station (I think it's called The Goose). They showed one of the RWC group stage matches involving Wales on big projector screens back in the autumn, so I'm sure they'd have Sky Sports if enough of us asked politely.

Unless there's somewhere else that folks have tried and swear by? Or what about the Spoons just up the road near the Civic Centre?

That sounds like a good possibility.

Is there a lunchtime Premier League game clashing with ours?

Born and Bren Geordie, living in Darras Hall, who ended up a lifelong Seagull from the early 70s and bizarrely became mates with the owner following a few years stint working in football finance (Which is why I don't post very often at all). Met Brian Fantana on a trip to Leeds many moons ago and great to see him back in the North East. See you tomorrow for a beer or two Mr Fantana!

Could be an issue at a busier place like The Goose...

Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a lunchtime PL game on.

I've had some luck before watching games in the pub at the station.

 

[Geestar]

Not going to make it today sorry fellas. Enjoy, and more important, let's get the win!

 

[TheJasperCo]

I'm watching in a quiet bar at the Bridge Hotel by the Castle down Quayside.

Anyone keen on either of the Hull matches?
