"I'D WALK A MILLION MILES FOR ONE OF YOUR SMILES!"
Posted 'high noon bells' Munday 19th November 2018
'The Geordie Times' iz very sad to hear aboot the passing of former club captain and left half, Jim Iley who died on Saturday aged 82
Jim played 249 times for NUFC between 1962 and 1969 and scored 16 goals and woz part of the successful promotion team of 1965, scorin the decisive goal to win promotion when we beat Bolton 2-0 on Good Friday 1965
I used to stand in the old The Leazes End in the 1960s and they had their own song for him, which went :
"I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles, Jim I-ley!"
RIP JIM

THE BIG MACC!---AND THE THREE mackems
Posted '10:56am bells' Sunday 18th November 2018
The draw for the last 32 of The Checkatrade Trophy haz been made and NUFC U21s reward for winnin their group iz a home tie against Macclesfield Toon, who currently sit rock bottom of Leegue 2!
We have NEVAA played Macclesfield at any level, so this iz a 'must gan' game for The Geordie Times!
The game iz to be played (we assume) @ SJP in the forst week of December (ne date yet)
In the last game of the group stage we beat Grimsby 3-2 at Blundell Park in front of just 547, which included 66 diehard Geordies and many were askin if this woz Grimsby's lowest crowd for a competitive game in their history!?
The mackems meanwhile took ower a thooosand to Morcambe for their Checkatrade game, and they have had a good laugh it wor 'pathetic' away support at Grimsby!
HOWEVER! they were watchin their FORST team, while NUFC fans were watchin wor RESORVE team----and last season, when the mackems could play their RESORVES at Grimsby in the same competition (because they were a Championship club) a 'crowd' of just 248 torned up which included---wait for it!--- THREE SMBs in the visitors end!!!!----that's reet, just THREE bothered to torn up when their forst team were heedin for Leegue 1
THIS iz Grimsby's lowest ever crowd!
This meenz that more than 20 times az many Toon fans went to Grimsby to watch wor U21s, compared to their support!
The sund'lind echo paper then printed a story that more than double that number had actually followed the mackems to Grimsby last season and they claimed that in fact SEVEN had made the trip---"WOW!"
(Yi couldn't make it up!)

Meenwhile 150 miles to the south, 'The Magpie Group' are planning a demonstration ootside Sports Redirect's main hub in Shirebrook!

Aa meen!, he iz hardly gannin to sell the club because of any protests against him az he iz (very!) thick skinned! (AND a lang way away from Shirebrook!)

MAD-SAD GR😨UNDH😨PPER MAYHEM!😨!
Posted 'high noon bells' Wedinzday 14th November 2018
"COMPLETE COCKERELS COCK UP!"
It haz been reported that there iz a very reeel chance that wor game v Sporz in their new stadium in February might NOT take place az it iz still not ready, despite claims that it would definatly be open by Xmas!
Contractors are apparently tornin up on site, drunk and on drugs and some have nowt to de az deliveries have not arrived!
The loonatics are runnin the asylum in this case!
The whole situation iz a complete farce and Sporz fans are not 'happy bunnies' because of this---and neethaa are WE, 'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers', who were lookin forward to a visit to a new groond---and who now face the prospect of a visit to Wembley yet again, with many of us lookin for wor forst competitive win there in 8 attempts (3 FA Cup final losses, 1 Leegue Cup final loss, 1 FA Cup semi-final loss, 1 Charity Shield loss) and 1 Premyaa Leegue loss!) (v Sporz last season)
Yoo would have to be at least 70 years old to remember and witness wor last win there, in the 1955 FA Cup final! (63 years ago and coontin'!)
There iz still a smaall chance that we WILL play at the new stadium this season----but 'divvint coont yi chickens yet'!
PS: Az the pitch and stands are in a different place to the old ones, we class it az a new groond!
Wembley's pitch and stands are in the same place az they were before it woz rebuilt, so it izn't a new groond!
