Geordie Saint

It was love 15 at 1st sight.

Time to fill corners of the stadium in? Is that an eventual option?

Am I imagining hearing this or are the old Love St floodlights up at Cappielow? Loved those floodlights as they were my 1st sighting of our beloved former home back in the 80s. If they are they'll be looking down on Greenock just as the rest of Paisley does.

Had to go with Easyjet from Edinburgh a few years ago as there were no flights from Newcastle back then. Was a reasonably priced fare iirc but not sure on availability these days.

Jack Ross all over again?

Gateshead FC play all season and earn a play off place only for them to be told they can't go up. They're basically playing for nothing other than a chance to win the FA trophy unless something changes. Real shame for them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68869062

So...to summarise, so long as Aberdeen don't win the cup then 5th place gets a European place of some sort? Should have had a pen for handball before HT.

Off work and no Newcastle game on Sat April 20th so a chance for me to get up for a game. Assuming saints finish top 6. Surely even they can't let that slip, can they? It's Scottish cup semi final weekend then. Hearts, Celtic, Rangers all involved so I'm guessing there won't be any top 6 SPL fixtures as a result?

Been a while I know, but how did it go?

Lad at work down here said he fancied the home top so when i seen this offer i took advantage. Someone else turning heads with their Saints gear on soon 🙂. Ordered yesterday morning and delivered by 10 am today. Excellent! Really happy with the fit too. Couldn't fathom out how to order 2 in different sizes on line so took a gamble on a size up on my usual.

Not long back. After much uncertainty everything fell into place. Trains ran, game was on and I got to see the lesser spotted saints away win. Even rarer at Pittodrie by all accounts. My heart did sink for a moment when the Aberdeen fan on the train near me told his mates there would be an 11 am pitch inspection. We were due to get off at 11.05. I e-mailed afc and they swiftly replied to say pitch was fine and game good to go....and relax! Both team and support were fantastic yesterday. A bit like Newcastle it's like being on one big rollercoaster ride. Got out for a good few pints in Aberdeen last night and enjoyed them despite having to run from bar to bar to try, in vain to dodge the incessant rain. Breakfast was funny when one or two Aberdeen fans were moaning this morning 😃. A good end to 2023. All the best for the NY everyone. COYS and Howay the Toon.

Aye, keeping a nervy eye on the trains. Bit confusing cos Scotrail appear to be running trains between Edinburgh and Aberdeen ok but LNER have replacement busses. Hoping we at least get the match out the way then bad weather passes quickly overnight and we get back alright on Sunday.

Decided to go for it. Unexpectedly been able to drag the wife up there with me for a stay in the Copthorne. A step up from my usual travelodge/premier inn. She's not going to the game. Maybe a good thing as the last one was a 4-1 hiding at Livingston. Ordered my ticket today and been assured any tickets, including mine will be taken up there and be able to pick up from the Aberdeen ticket office. Sod Xmas, I'm looking forward to my Aberdeen trip.

After your advice I got a reply from an email to Karin saying while she won't be attending personally, one of her colleagues can meet me there with a ticket should I decide to travel. Decision to be made now 🤔.

Cheers for the advice folks. Just a thought at the mo and in reality probably won't happen. Would probably struggle to justify the cost tbh. Would probably need to stay over as would be relying on train or train and bus combo. Yes SS I did drive to Dundee once but that's a bit too far for me.
