What a week for Dan Burn! First England call up, scores at Wembley, helps win first cup in 70 years for his hometown club.
So my trip to UK is next week. We arrive in London on the 28th and currently have tickets to Watford v Argyle on the 29th. Newcastle has said there will be a parade on the 29th My dad seems to be ok if I wanted to try and go, but I’m just not sure I want to deal with that chaos over going to see a match. Especially since I’ll be going up for the Brentford match on the 2nd
i mean you have to go to the parade over seeing a random championship match between two teams you don't care about
This. 70 year droughts only end once in a lifetime thats one in a million timing to be in England that day
How many opportunities are you going to have to see a mostly meaningless Championship match in *checks notes* uhhh...Watford? Parades generally suck but I think this is one time to make an exception.
We’re going to be up in Newcastle 2 days later and the matchday will likely still be a party. I understand where yall are coming from, just not sure I’m gonna get to pull the day trip off.
Unfortunately, the issue is my dad isn’t as willing to go as he first indicated. And neither is my brother.
I see both sides. As a fan of a fellow northeast club, it is annoying that it’s like a 7hr round trip from London on the train (+ the UK’s ridiculous train prices). but you only have one chance to punch a police horse
Anyone who as a team with a really long title drought (I still have a couple left), knows how special this day is. Obviously it is awesome when it is your team, but seeing so many fans of other clubs happy for the people of Newcastle(fuck the ownership), is really cool to see.
That’s cool and all but a Championship match with 2 shots on target isn’t something you see every day either
Seeing Moussa Sissoko play*** Also, mean post is mean. The time + money to get up there and back yesterday was too much for me to do solo, and I wasn’t gonna ditch my dad and brother.
I completely understand why you didn’t go, I’m just fucking with you. That’s would’ve been a very costly trip to see a parade. I very likely would’ve done the same.
