“LET THE 🚂 TRAIN TAKE THE STRAIN!”
We (me and Tex Taylor) met up in The Gunner ower the road from The Central (station) and decided to get the new train 🚂 sorvice up to Newsham station on The Northumberland Line! Blyyyth Toon play on the south side of Blyyyth!
It took aboot 20 minutes to get there, plus anothaa 10 minute waalk to the groond which iz caalled Gateway Park!
There looked to be quite a few in the groond az we went through the gate and (of course!) we heeded straight for the clubhoose for some liquid lubrications of the alcoholic variety!

It woz an hour to kick off when we got there and the old ‘current bun’ 🌞 woz blazin doon from the blue sky above! So (of course!) we took shelter from its rays, inside!(Az yih dee!🤪👍🍺)
There looked to be a canny crowd of aboot 350ish includin quite a few Dunstoners,—several of them young Ultras who had travelled the 15 miles north.
This woz Blyyyth Toon’s forst home game in The Northen Premyaa Leegue, after promotion from The Northern Leegue last season!
The game kicked off az the air cooled a bit (7:45 🛎️s) and straight away Dunston in their new dark red away strip attacked The Clubhoose End to wor right!
It didn’t take lang for them to take the lead when Jude Swailes sent a powerful heeder past Blyyyth’s keeper to put The Blue Boys (in red!) 1-0 up after 18 minutes on the clock 🕰️
It woz soon 2-0 to Dunston when Danny Shaw woz fouled in the box by Fogarty and the ref pointed straight to the spot!
Up stepped Josh Donaldson who put the baall to the far left of their keeper who had dived the reet way, but couldn’t get near it! (see top photo)
Their woz nee more scorin in this half az we made a mad dash back to the clubhoose for some more alcoholic liquid refreshment!🍺🍺⬇️
In the 2nd half Blyyyth played a bit better, but couldn’t find a way through Dunston’s defence!
The best chance in this half fell to Dunston’s JJ O’Donell, who tried a spectacular owerheed kick, which just went ower the bar in the 80th minute at ‘The Big Trees End’!⬇️
Dunston were quite happy to run the clock doon and there woz nee more scorin! We had to leave 5 minutes from the end (9:30) to make sure that we caught the train back to The Toon which woz due at ‘9:45 🔔s’
It woz bang on time and aa got yem at ‘10:30 🛎️s’ *** Yet another groond off the never ending list!***76 now for Dunston games! (29 of them with NUFC, but not this one!)
