ANOTHAA FRIENDLY ADDED TO PRE-SEASON

 Posted 'high noon bells' Thorsday 1st July 2021

News reaches The Geordie Times (2 days late!) that yet anothaa Yorkshire friendly haz been added to the list, makin a total of 5 pre season friendlies in the coonty!  

We will travel to the Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster on Friday 23rd July for a '7:00 bells' kick off (Or at least the team will travel, az there iz nee news if away fans will be allowed to attend?)

Meeenwhile Rafa haz signed for Evaatin and good luck to him, with the hostility of their fans to contend with!

The NUFC takeower saga drags on and we have nee idea wethaa it will be succesful or not?

If it isn't, then we are stuck with the same manager, owner and nee new players (so far) and yet anothaa top flight survival battle iz on the cards, if this nightmare scenario happens!

We shall soon find oot me 'finks'!

STOP PRESS! '3:00pm bells'

A home friendly v Nohrich haz been added to the list

Saturday August 7th with a '2:00 🔔bells' kick off!

THE AWAY DAY NIGHTMARE CONTINUES INTO A 3RD SEASON!

News that York City have been forced to deny entry to Toon fans in wor forthcoming friendly next month at their new groond, haz sent shock waves through 'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' fan base!!! (See above!)

Indeed, anly 2,000 home fans will be allowed into their 8,500 capacity stadium, denyin them much needed revenue! (Some mad-sad groundhoppers (includin' 'me') have even looked at prices of York season tickets to get in, but were put off, az they are nearly £300 for an adult!)

York, would of course 💘love to welcome up to 3,000 of us, but The City of York advisory committee have said that 6,500 seats must remain empty for them to receive a safety covid certificate!

Pure 😠madness if yoo ask us, az huge 60,000 plus crowds are to be allowed into Wembley for the Euro semi finals in the very same week! (Many of them from othaa European countries!)

Nothing makes sense anymore in this 🤪crazy mixed up country!🥶

Meeenwhile--and taakin of Wembley---there's a certain Euro game there at '5:00 bells' toonet when Ing-er-land take on Jawmany for a place in the qwaataa finals!---In front of 45,000 fans! Where's the logic??? (nee Jawmans allowed!)

Ing-er-🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿land expects!

Updated '10:30am bells' Wedinzday

For once Ing-er-land didn't let us doon and won 2-0 with goals from Sterling and Kane to set up a qwaataa final with The Ukraine on Saturday neet!

Ing-er-land expected and delivered!!!

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!?

                        WETHERBY ROAD, HARROGATE

The draw for the EFL Cup haz been made and NUFC U21s have been paired with Harrogate, Manzfeeld and Sheff Wed's forst teams!

This iz NOT good news for 'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' az we have been to aall 3 groonds previously to watch The Toon!

The ties 👔 which are aall away will take place in August, October and November!

.Meeenwhile! anothaa away 1st team friendly v The Liverbirds haz been mentioned, but NOT confirmed!

We will keep yoo 📫posted!

SAME TIME---DIFFERENT PLACE!-----

 Posted 'high noon bells' Tuesday 22nd Joon 2021

YORK (top) OR HARROGATE?

"YOO CAN'T BE IN 2 PLACES AT THE SAME TIME!"

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!?

THE MONKEY HANGERS 5 THE FAWLTY TOWERS MOB 4

 Posted 'high noon 🔔bells' munday 21st Joon 2021

       Somewhere in Hartlepoool, many moons ago!

Congratulations to Hartlepoool for winnin the penalty shootout v Torquay 5-4 at Ashton Gate!

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 🐒Hangers' 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!

GEORDIE TIMES EXCLUUUSIVE! *** NEW YORK AWAY FRIENDLY ADDED TO THE LIST!

"NO! NOT THAT NEW YORK!"

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 🔔s 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 🔥hydrants for the New York in America!

Honest, it's TRUE!

     Made in Rotherham 🇬🇧UK

Meeeenwhile!  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!

RAFA BLUES!

 Posted 'high noon🔔bells' Friday 18th Joon 2021

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!

It's unreal and ironic that NUFC fans would welcome Rafa back with open arms, but most Evaatin fans can't stand him!

Great expectations???

Meeenwhile in othaa news, there's a certain international 'derby match' gannin on at Wembley tooneet!

"ING-ER-LA🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿ND EXPECTS!"

NUFC PREMYAA LEEGUE FIXTURES 2021-2022

 Posted from '10:20 am 🔔bells' onwards, Wedinzday 16th Joon 2021 

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!

We end with an away game at The Bornley Hillbillies next May, which iz the anly game which iz 'cast in stone' for kick off time and date!

More to follow on aall this later!

YORK! YORK! HERE WE COME? (HOPEFULLY!)

 Posted 'high noon 🔔bells' Tuesday 15th Joon 2021

LNER STADIUM, YORK

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!🙏)

And then tomorrow the Premyaa Leegue fixs come oot at '9:00am bells' and all Toon 👀eyes 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!"
