Harrogate have conformed to NUFC that the kick off time against us iz at '2:00 bells' on Sunday 18th July!----Exactly the same time az wor friendly at York's new stadium! (The 25 man 1st team squad will be split between the 2 games)
Az yoo cant be in 2 places at the same time The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers have opted for the York game az we have never been to their new groond---but we HAVE been to Harrogate many moons ago for a NUFC resorve game!
However!---az both games take place ONE DAY before the lockdoon ends, it iz uncertain wethaa we will be allowed to travel doon!?
The sensible thing would be to move both games to 'freedom day' to ensure that az many fans az possible can attend!
But thats tooo simple ----isnt it!?

Many Toon fans watched on from the 3 Bulls and their woz a loud cheer when 'The Fawlty Towers Mob' missed their last penalty to send 'The Monkey ๐Hangers' back to Leegue 2 from non leegue obscurity---And just one leegue below the SMBs 15 miles up the A19!
Well done Poool!
Explanation to those of yoo who live ootside north east England:
In the orly 19th century a foreign ship woz seized in Hartlepoool and a monkey woz captured!
Az they'd never seen a monkey before, the locals thought the monkey woz a foreign spy and hung him from the gallows on the quayside!
Honest, it's TRUE!

Sensational news reaches The Geordie Times that a new NUFC pre season friendlies haz been added to the list!
We are off to New York! "Er!" Not the one in the USA, but the one in sooth Yorkshire where Rotherham play!
The game will take place on Tuesday 17th July at their New York Stadium groond with a '7:00 ๐s kick off!
The reason it's caalled New York Stadium iz because they play in a district of Rotherham caalled New York!
And the reason for THAT name iz because a foundry in Rotherham used to make the distinctive fire ๐ฅhydrants for the New York in America!
Honest, it's TRUE!
Made in Rotherham ๐ฌ๐งUKMeeeenwhile! Wor forst game of the new Premyaa Leegue season v The Jellied Eels Mob of West Ham haz been moved to Sunday 15th August with a '2:00 bells' kick off time! (Live on SKY)
The forst of many nee doubt to be moved for live telly!

News that Rafa Benitez could be Evaatin's new manager, haz not went doon well with their fans! (He once caalled them a 'small club' when he woz Liverpoool's manager and the blue half of Morseyside havvint forgot!)
Indeed, bedsheet banners have been put up at the fence next to Goodison Park, telling him in nee uncertain terms that he iz not wanted at their club!
Great expectations???
Meeenwhile in othaa news, there's a certain international 'derby match' gannin on at Wembley tooneet!
"ING-ER-LA๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟND EXPECTS!"

The fixtures are oot for the comin season and for once they have been kind to The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers, az the anly groond we havvint been tee haz been pencilled in for February 2022, which iz Brentfaad away at their new stadium!
Hopefully aall will be back to normal by then and that nasty 'Bat out of hell' virus iz no more!
We start off with a home game v The Jellied Eels Mob on Aug 14th and then away to The Hazbeenz and Villans a week later!
It's Moan U at home on Boxin Day but the spanner in the works iz an away game at Sooothampton on New Year's Day!!!---Wor langest trip of the season!!!!
Of course, nearly aall wor games could be changed for live telly etc!

More to follow on aall this later!

Az expected 'freedom day' haz been put back 4 weeks and will end on Munday July 19th (hoping against hope!)
Wot that meenz for wor 2 friendlies at York and Harrogate which are due to be played the day before, iz anybody's guess?
Surely they will move both games to 'freedom day', so that more fans can attend, az at present anly 2,000 or so will be let in to eethaa game, az it stands! (25% capacity) and the dreaded 'home fans only' signs will be put up! (The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers live in hope!๐)
And then tomorrow the Premyaa Leegue fixs come oot at '9:00am bells' and all Toon ๐eyes will be on the away date for Brentfaad, hopin that it will be late in the season, when we will definitely be able to gan! (providin' there are nee more 'variants'?)
The Geordie Times will of course publish the fixtures az soon az they come oot and news of any fixture changes in pre season----Az per usual "Watch this space!"

Updated 'high noon ๐bells' Sunday 13th Joon
We awaited with baited breath az we watched on from Rosie's Bar, to see if Notts Coonty could claim their place back in the '92club', (which they lost in the 2018-19 season)
Notts Coonty were founder members in 1888 and 1st played in black n white stripes in 1890. Grimsby joined in 1892 in the newly formed 2nd Division, but didn't play in black n white stripes til 1910 (AYE! we have done wor homework!)
PS: When the final 92 are conformed 'The Geordie Times' will dee a list into aall the club colours. Not suprizingly red shirts and blue shirts are the most popular colours to play in!

'GEORDIE TIMES EXCLUUUSIVE!'
The NASA mission to the planet Mars haz seen some sensational pictures that have been sent back to Earth from the Perseverance Rover's onboard camera, to prove once and for aall, that there iz indeed 'LIFE ON MARS'!
Not anly that, but this amazing picture of a Martian taken by the Rover, proves this theory!
Az yoo can see, the Martian iz dressed in a Toon top AND can unbelievably can speak broken English and fluent Geordie az well!!!! The forst spoken words from the Martian were: "Take me to your leader!---Whey aye maan!"
The sensational news haz rocked the world from Antarctica to Australia and world leaders were quick to add their comments:
Boris Johnson: "We are staggered to hear and see this with our own eyes!"
Jimmy Nail: "The fact he iz a Toon fan az well, iz unbelievable!---and where did he get the Toon top from?"
*PS honest it's true!---It's in The ๐!
