Ground number 325
Date of First Visit: 27th July 2017
Turnbull Ground, Whitby
Celtic U23s 1
Newcastle United U23s 2 (Toney 2)
Whitby Town Challenge Cup
Attendance 820 (200 Toon fans, 300 Celtic fans)
"LUCKY MASCOT JAMIE!"
Jamie watches on az Ivan Toney
back heels the baall into the goal
This woz 7 year old grandson Jamie's 2nd new groond in less than a week, followin on from wor U23s success at Gatesheed the previous Saturday and he woz excited to be gannin aall the way to Whitby (80 miles) for 'a lang distance game' az Gatesheed Stadium iz a mere 5 miles roond trip from hiz hoose!
On arrival ootside the groond after a 2 hour drive from Tyneside, we parked up in a street near the groond and heeded for the seafront to find a 'chippy' az Whitby iz THE place to eat fish n chips, bein' a huge fishin port
We wornt disappointed az the fish shop in Silver Street sold excellent cod and it woz 'washed doon' up the road in 'The Granby' with a pint of 'Smiths' for me and a 'coke beer' for Jamie!
It woz then 'onward' back to the groond where the clubhoose woz packed with mainly Celtic fans and a few Toon
Jamie woz wearin a Toon top and a club official approached him and asked if he would like to be one of the mascots that came oot with the teams!
yoo can guess just wot hiz answer woz and he woz 'whisked away' towards the dressin rooms to meet the players!
(The 2nd time that he haz been a Toon mascot followin on from last season when he woz a mascot in wor home game against Burton Albion)
How lucky can yoo get!
Out he came from the players tunnel with wor number 4 Jack Hunter alang with 8 othaa mascots from both teams
We started off well and attacked the left hand goal from us There woz a gadgie watchin the match from hiz bedroom window in a hoose behind the goal
Howevet, despite bein on top Celtic took the lead late on in the half
Jamie had predicted we would win 2-1 and he woz proved right az near the hour mark Ivan Toney back heeled the baall into the Celtic net to equalise
Before we had time to draw breath he scored again from a Roberts centre to win the game and put us into Saturdays final where we will play eethaa Whitby or AZ Alkmaar of Holland
Unfortunatly I wont be there az I am off to Jawmany to watch the 1st team play Mainz at the same time az the final!
Toon fan Alex of St George had told Jamie that wolves prowelled the moor above Whitby at night and to make sure hiz window woz closed or they might 'get him'!
He did!
More pix to follow!
Update munday 31st July

THE HEEDBANGERS 0 THE TOON U23s 3
Posted '1:05 pm bells munday 24th July 2017
I hope u arnt shocked but I decided to gan and watch U23s at Gatesheed on Saturday instead of gannin to Preston to watch a Toon XX11 (Toon 22)
Really, these pre season games meen that 40 odd players will be used at some point durin matches and are now farcical trainin sessions
700 were present at The International Stadium with a 50/50 split between Toon and Heedbangers fans!
Aa went with grandson Jamie and hiz mam and dad in wot woz a very wet afternoon
El Mhanni opened the scorin' for us with a fine strike in the 11th minute
Fernandez then added a 2nd before the break to put us 2-0 up with a fantastic shot from 30 yards oot!
IT woz the point that the 'supersubs' started comin' on
The 2nd half woz a bit borin' and the 'highlight' of the 1st period woz interupted by a flock of huge seagulls who flew in and oot of the main stand----one even settled on an exit barrier to watch the match! (see top photo!) and woz rewarded az he/she witnessed wor thord and final goal, scored by Dan Ward on the hour mark with a shot that went underneath The Heed's keeper!
Many more supersuubs started appearin' for both sides and aa estimated that we had used 22 payers to Gatesheed's 20-----Just like the forst team!---EH!
This woz 7 year old Jamie's forst ever away game---if yoo can caall a 5 mile roond trip to hiz hoose and back an 'away' game!

PRESTON DEAD END 1 TOON XX11 1
Posted '10:00am bells' Sunday 23rd July 2017
"MITRO'S ON FIRE!--TOON FAN IN MIRE!"
The most memorable thing aboot this trip to Preston woz the news that a Toon fan had jumped off a pub roof and broke hiz ankles!---but after a trip to the local RVI he insisted on gannin to the match in a wheelchair! (PS: Its quite normal for some Toon fans to do these things!)
Mitro opened the scorin' on 8 minutes but that woz the most memorable thing aboot the match az the home side equalised before the break
3,000 Toon fans were in the stands (plus 1 wheelchair at the front!) in the 7,000 plus crowd
In the 2nd half a host of subs came on and aall told 22 players were used by Rafa!
These pre season games are turnin into a farce az Preston aalso used loads of subs.
They are only now glorified trainin' sessions in wor opinion!
Toon team: It will take aall day to type their names oot amd aa havvent got time at the mo!
Updated '11 30 bells'
