“STAB POOOF VESTS AT THE READY!”
NUFC have issued warnings to Toon fans who are travelling to Marseille a week next Tuezday, NOT to gan to certain places, NOT to wear club colours in case we are attacked or stabbed —and warnin that any fans planning to gan to the NUFC U19s game, which kicks off at ‘2.30 bells 🔔’ in Martiguas 22 miles (45km) from The Orange Velodrome in Marseille, that this is impossible to do! (NOT good news for ‘The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers’ who planned to dee both games!)
NUFC have said this on their website: ⬇️
Supporters are unable to attend the youth league fixture due to the requirements that fans MUST be at the meeting point no later than 16.30!——with a warning that any fans who torn up after the 4.30pm 🔔 bells’ deadline, will NOT be allowed onto the Metro to attend the game! (That’s 4 and a half hours before the game kicks off at 9.00 bells 🔔’)
We will then be herded like sheep 🐑 onto a Metro train 🚇 straight to the groond some 15 minutes later!
Absolutely ridiculous to be forced to gan to this groond that lang before the start!⬇️
Below iz a list of items that will not be allowed into the stadium, includin, guns, long bladed swords/machetes, claw hammers, crash helmets (for protection against flyin missiles!)—- plus, on top of that, you cannit take your Alsatian dogs with you! (Az if we would!) ⬇️On arrival we will then be caged into a corner section of the groond (like in 2004), with netting on aall sides (including the view of the pitch!) to stop any missiles coming wor way from the very ‘friendly’? Ultraz!
Then after the game we are told that we will be hearded back onto the Metro trains in groups of 500 after bein’ locked in for at least an hour!— by the time the last of the 3,000 Toon Travellers eventually get onto the Metro, it will be 2 HOURS after the first batch, by the time we get back to the meeting point! (According to the NUFC website!)
It makes you wonder if aall this unnecessary ridiculous hassle iz worth it!?— It’s supposed to be a futbaall match!—-not a fcukin war zone! 🥶🔫🔨🪓🧨🔪⚔️
PS: We hear that ‘NUFC mad-sad groundhopper’ ‘Glennn from Ashington’ IZ planning to dee both games—he will get to the meeting point (22 miles(45km)from the youth game in a taxi!💶€€€) well after the deadline and ‘gamble’ that the local ‘dibble’ 👮♂️ will let him through!
A massive gamble 🎲 that the rest of us arnt willing to to take!
Best of luck Glennn! 🙏🏻
The last time we were here 21 years ago the very nice Marseille Ultras set a stand on fire 🔥 to keep the Toon fans warm in the fenced in area beside them, on a chilly neet in southern France!—Very nice of them to be so kind and friendly! ⬇️
Wow, this sounds absolutely chaotic—hard to believe all this is just for a football match. Really hope everyone stays safe and that common sense prevails. Appreciate you highlighting the reality for travelling fans… fingers crossed it’s finesse on the pitch, not madness off it. Stay safe out there!
