We heed northwards ower the border to Scotland tomorrow, where an amazin 10,000 plus Toon fans will descend on Glasgow for wor 2nd pre season friendly of the season against Scottish champions Celtic! (The 1st woz a 4-0 win v Carlisle behind closed doors orlier this week!)
We say 10,000 ‘plus’ az there will be ‘that’ many’ in the visitors sections and we hear that quite a few more have porchased tickets in the home sections az well!
The reason why NUFC have been given so many tickets iz because many Celtic season ticket holders are boycottin the game az they will have to pay the £25 admission fee, instead of gettin a ‘free-bee’ az they have done in previous seasons for friendly matches! (It’s very hard to believe that they are staying away, especially az ‘The Pope’ will be in goal for us!?) ⬇️
A 40,000 crowd iz predicted with aboot 12,000 from Tyneside, includin those in the home sections!
That’s still 20,000 shy of capacity!
This will be be the biggest Inglish ‘invasion’ of Scotland since 15,000 Toon fans attended the Fairs Cup semi final game at Rangers in 1969! (And ‘yours truly’ woz one of them!)
We havvint got a clue wot the Toon’s startin XI will be, but we fully expect that Alanga will play some part in the proceeedings!
But pleeeze don’t ask us aboot the ‘saga’ of Isak and Ekitike???🙈
A full GeordieTimes match (and boozer!) report will appear here sometime on Sunday!
And az we said to yoo many times last season:
“Watch this space intentleee!”
