Seagull Fans Up North

[Geestar]

Recently moved up to Newcastle (heard all the jokes).

Any fans up this way at all? Keen to hit a few away games without always travelling alone, or watch the televised games.

 

[Toongull]

I live just outside Chester Le Street, near the Cricket Ground. What part of Newcastle do you live in?

 

[GOM]

Not that far north, I'm in Leeds, quite a few around this area so I'm sure you'll find some there too.

Not local anymore but I did four years at Newcastle Uni (left in 2010 so things may have changed); Spy bar on Osbourne Road in Jesmond used to be happy to stick televised games on if requested, likewise the Londsdale next to West Jesmond Metro. The only away trip I managed while I was there was Hartlepool but didn't see any other Albion fans at the station post-match heading back north.

I live between Durham and Darlington, and often head into Newcastle to watch Albion games on TV. There's a few of us up here!

I did 3 years at Newcastle Uni (left in 2009)! There were a few other Albion fans at the uni too - similarly went to Hartlepool, Leeds and Carlisle away with a small group of us.

Is that north of Brighton or Watford Gap?

I am in Jesmond. Still learning the areas.

You ever get to away games?

Brilliant, I live on Osborne Road. The other end from the students.

I was, I think, the only Brighton fan in Birkenhead between 1970 and 1985

Went to Middlesbrough last season but as I work Saturdays I don't get to that many.

If you do, buy a house on a hill.

 

[BEN12360]

I resided in Manchester for 3 years up till 2008 and there were a load of seagulls in the north west....would often head back north together after the southern and Midlands games....

Yes - its a nice little city with the Lakes just across the bay. Morecambe is a pit though.

I have been up for interviews......stayed in Morecambe their first time and soon realised it was worse than Hastings!!!!!! And to be fair it has put a huge dent on me wanting to make the move seeing how shit that place was!
