NE WHERE NEAR BRIGHTIN V THE TOON *** SATURDAY TEATIME

Posted '3:10pm bells' Friday 26th April 2019

"RELAX AND CHILL OOT!"

Tomorrow we heed for The AMEX Stadium in Falmer in Sussex, which iz 'ne where near' Brightin (hence wor name for them!) where the home side will be full of jitters in their bid to escape the drop, which iz now between 3 clubs to avoid the last relegation place, namely, Sooothampton, Cardiff and Brightin

NUFC of course are now safe from relegation, so we can relax and chill oot, while Brightin fans bite their fingernails and pull their hair oot ', hopin against hope that Cardiff in particular don't gain ground on them with just 3 point between the sides!

It's great to gan to a game and not worry aboot othaa results isn't it?
The away section iz again completely sold oot, despite the '5:30 bells' kick off time and 700 mile roond trip!---This iz the 5th time we have been to 'The Amex'--- and guess wot?--this iz the 5th time that this fixture haz been moved to a daft kick off time for live telly!!!

Miguel Almiron iz oot for the last 3 games with a hamstring injury, so Jonjo Shelvey could well make a retorn to the side!
Florian Lejeune iz aalso unavailable az iz Sean Longstaff of course, while Fabian Schar and Isaac Hayden should be fit!

MEEENWHILE!
Wor home game v The Liverbirds a week tomorrow sold oot within 4 hours of gannin on sale!
Toon fans have been told in no uncertain torms that they should NOT sell their tickets to Liverpoool fans or else they could face huge fines for ticket toutin' and have their season ticket cancelled for the future!

If yoo thought the prices for wor away game v Fulim on the last day of the season were obscene---then "look away now!" at the prices bein' quoted on one 'spivs website' for Liverpoool tickets orlier this week! (Before Man City beat Moan U!)

OWER 'A GRAND' TO SIT IN THE STAND?

"LETS RE-MORTAGE THE HOUSE!"

It shud be noted that The Scousers CANNIT win the title at 'wor place', even if they beat 'uddersfeeeld tooneet (highly probable) and Man City lose at Bornley on Sunday (highly improbable).
Liverpoool would then be 5 points clear if this happened---BUT with 6 points still to play for in the title race it wouldn't be 'done and dusted'! (ie:It's Impossible for them to win the title at SJP)
Which meeenz that demand for the ridiculously priced tickets, will surely 'drop like a stone'!

A full 'Geordie Times' match report from Brightin will appear here on Sunday, az we travel back on the train from London (where we are stayin', coz we cant get back on Saturday, coz of the daft kick off time!)
