CELTIC GIVE NUFC 10,000 TICKETS!

 Posted 'high noon bells' Wedinzday 2nd July 2025

NUFC's friendly at Celtic Park in little ower 2 weeks time, will see 10,000 Toon fans in attendance instead of the 7,200 tickets, which were originally allocated to us! (Saturday 19th July)

This, amazingleee, iz because Celtic cannit sell their tickets for the home sections, az their fans are boycottin' the game, coz they cannit get in for FREE! 

Cannit beleeeve that they won't torn up to see 'The Pope'!? (NUFC goalie 'Nick Pope', that iz!)

In previous seasons Celtic season ticket holders were given free access to one pre season friendly per season, but their club haz decided that they must PAY this time to watch the game against NUFC!

(And to 'Fink' that wor home friendly against Atletico Madrid  in August, iz a complete 52,300 selloot, with adult tickets priced at £25 each!) 

The game in Glasgow will see the largest contingent of Toon fans to travel to Scotland since we took 15,000 fans to Rangers in the Fairs Cup semi final 1st leg in 1969!  

I woz one of them 55 years ago at Ibrox Park, when a crowd of 75,000 saw us draw 0-0! (Woz it reeely that lang ago???---Quick!---pass mee zimmer frame!!!) 

62,986 THANKYOOOZ TO WOR LOYAL REEDERS FROM 164 COUNTRIES & TERRITORIES! (& MARS!)

CAN YOO SPOT THE TWO CATHEDRALS IN THIS PHOTO!?🤔

WARNING!

The deadline for Season Ticket holders to join the 3 cup schemes iz ‘5:00 pm bells 🔔’ this Friday!

Season ticket holders who DIVVINT join the schemes ARE NOT gaurenteed a ticket for those games and must join the Mags members for ‘a free for aall’ in a lottery to get one!

We understand the concerns of some fans with (say) 2 kids that must pay £120 to watch Champions Leegue futbaall!

Unfortunately, like everything else, prices are gannin through the roof and soon it will be an average of a fiver a pint in The Toon boozers az well!

The Geordie Times haz egg 🍳 on wor faces az we predicted that we would probably get a crowd of under 30,000 for wor pre season friendly v Atletico Madrid, az it woz £25 for an adult ticket—-BUT how wrang we were, az the game iz a complete 52,300 selloot! (For a friendly!)

Talk of the new stadium seems to have vanished from the headlines, but az we aall naa 52,300 iz not big enough now, with the demand for tickets far exceedin wor current capacity!

Hopefully news on that will appear soon—BUT divvint haad yi breath, 😵az we were told that news of a new stadium would be announced 5 months ago, but of course it wozzint!

We will of course bring yoo news of that when we (eventually?) find oot!??? 

Az per usual—“Watch this space!”

48 GAMES AND COONTIN’!

THE CHAMPIONS LEEGUE FINAL WILL BE IN BUDAPEST, WHERE NUFC WON THE INTER CITIES FAIRS CUP IN 1969***A LUCKY OMEN?

“I HAVE A DREAM!😴 “

Includin’ the Premyaa Leegue, the Leegue Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions Leegue, NUFC will play a minimum of 48 games next season!

That’s ANLY if we get knocked oot of the 2 domestic Cup competitions at the forst hurdle—and the Champions Leegue in the group stage!

And if we progress in aall 3 competitions, that total could rise to 67 games! —5 more games in the League Cup if we reach the final—5 more games in the FA Cup if we reach the final—9 more games in the Champions Leegue if we have to qualify for the knockoot roonds and the final via the play offs! (Wishful ‘Finkin’ perhaps?)

For any Toon fan intending to to gan to every game home and away, it will be the most expensive season ever, running into thoosands of poonds (and Euros of course!)

“The MAGical Mystery Tour iz waitin to take us AWAY!”
