THE LOSERS OPEN TOP BUS PARADE GANNIN UP NEWGATE STREET IN 1974 WHEN NUFC LOST 3-0 TO LIVAAPOOOL IN THE FA CUP FINAL
At last sense haz prevailed and there will indeed be an open top bus parade aroond the Toon, albeit a short one from SJP, Gallowgate, Percy Street , The Great North Road and finally the Toon Moor, where the climax of the party will end in front of at least 150,000 fans of aall ages!
Aall who showed an interest have been given free tickets!
The bus route map iz shown below!---Timings are az follows!
The open top bus parade will start at '4:30pm bells' and eventually arrive at the Toon Moor at '5:00pm bells' for the antisapated event!
*HOWEVER! Have you seen the weather forecast for Saturday which could put a dampener on precedings!ðĨķ ☔️ ⚡️ ⛈️ ⏬️⏬️⏬️
News that the NUFC team will leave SJP on the short trip to the Toon Moor next Saturday have been deein the roonds!
We have nee idea if the bus will be an open top one on the jorney via Gallowgate, Percy Street and The Great North Road which takes yoo to the ‘closed’ shop’ event on the Moor?
What we dee naa iz that The Great North Road will be shut aall day next Saturday and most likely Gallowgate and Percy Street az well!
The Geordie Times will keep yoo informed if there IZ to be a short parade aroond the streets mentioned!?

AV SEEN THE CUP ‘LIVE’ AT WEMBLEY, SO I WILL GIVE MEE EVENT TICKETS TO MEE GRANDDAUGHTER AND HOR MAMMY, WHO WERNT THERE!
News that NUFC are to hold an event on the Toon Moor with season ticket holders and members gettin priority reaches The Geordie Times! (2 days late!)
Rumours of an open top bus parade before they gan to the Moor are deein the rounds!
If that’s the case I will just gan to that az I’m NOT standin in a field for 5 hours waitin for the cup presentation with nee booze allowed! (You WILL be searched before you gan in az well!)
Have got 2 free tickets for mee granddaughter and hor mammy!
But there’s a catch! The food and soft drinks from NUFCs preferred vendors ARNT free!—and they will take your eyes ð oot for burgers and hotdogs and pop, etc!
It’s very wrong to exclude fans who are locked oot of SJP and give priority to the likes of me and the 32,000 others who saw the cup win live!
Hopefully the club, council and ‘the dibble’ will see sense and allow a bus parade before they heed for the Moor!—Hopefully for those who get tickets that it’s not p*ssin doon aall day next Saturday!—or else the whole event will gan doon like a damp squid ðĶ!
In other news congrats to Dan Burn ðĨ for gettin hiz forst Ing-er-land cap last neet at Wembley—for the 2nd time in 5 days! He nearly scored again az well in the 2-0 win ower Albania!ð

AZ OF TUEZDAY, THESE ARE THE CURRENT PREMYAA LEEGUE CLUBS AND THE LAST TIME THEY WON A MAJOR TROPHY!
Posted 'high noon bells' Tuezday 18th March 2025
“IT’S WOR CUP!” (IF YOO CAN SPOT IT!?)
WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE HISTORY BOOKS
Well!---A'v finally recovered from the best day of mee life on Sunday when we beat The Mickey Mousers at Wembley to lift wor forst domestic trophy for 70 years!
This woz mee 10th visit for a competitive game at Wembley watchin' The Toon and with 9 defeats in a row before Sunday, aa woz 'Finkin' "Am I the Wembley Jinx fan!"? (3 FA Cup final defeats, 2 Leegue Cup final defeats, 2 Premyaa Leegue defeats v Sporz, 1 FA Cup semi final defeat and 1 Community Shield defeat!)
Yiv aall eethaa saw the game yihselz at Wembley or live on the telly, so I will just give mee own personal very brief highlights of the game!
It woz obvious from the start that we were 'up for it' az we attacked the far goal where the Livaapoool fans were and we went for 'the jugular' ----The breakthrough finally comin' near the half time break!
45th minute: A perfect Kieran Trippier corner, finds the heed of Dan Burn and hiz powerful heeder across the box beats Kelleher in the Livaapoool goal to put us 1-0 up----Exxxtatic scenes followed in the Toon section of 32,000 fans!
52nd minute: A Jacob Murphy knockdoon in the box finds Alexander the Great (Isak) and he hit a sweet shot past to double wor lead and double the noise from wor fans behind that goal!
2 minutes before this, Isak had a goal disallowed for offside, so this definitely made up for it!
94th minute: A brief scare az Livaapoool pull a goal back through Elliott---It went to VAR and took ages for the decision to be made!
The ref bundered by first sayin on hiz mic that the goal had been disallowed, but the baall woz then put back on the centre spot to resume the game????
The game finally finished in the 111th minute to wild celebrations from the team, 'Steady Eddie' and hiz back room staff,---and of course us fans, who had waited so so lang for domestic silverware!
The sight of the Leegue Cup bein hoisted up by Bruno, Kieran Trippier and injured Jamaal Laselles brought happy tears to my eyes!
THAT gypsy 100 year curse that woz said to be given in 1955 after gypsies were forcibly removed from wor old trainin groond in Benwell, proves to be a complete myth!
If there's one thing for certain, when we travel to away games in the future the home fans wont be able to sing, "YOU'VE NEVER WON FCUK ALL!", ever again!
Attendance: 88,513 (32,000 very jubulant Toon fans!)
The pre and post match 'gargels' took place in 4 different towns and cities on the day before, the day of the match, and the day after! Marlow, High Wycombe, London and then Bormingham on the way back yem the next day!---In total we visited 14 different drinkin dens! The runnin' total for this season IZ 79 different boozers
