    Yeah we were up there when we played them in the Carling cup 2 years back

    It was just after davey had bought about 14 payers, and we'd got about 7 players out with a sickness bug, and i couldn't make out who half the players were. :D As it says in the post above, its like watching a subbuteo game.

    Probably a ***** view. They will rip us off for the crap view as well. We should be near the bottom level. Lets just give them the west stand when they come to us and put our fans in the north stand.

    Not sure of the height of each ground but ..........

    ........ having sat in both, the view/atmosphere at Wembley is far better than St. James Park.

    When we were there for the Carling Cup, it felt like the match was going on for their fans in tiers one and two, and we were on top of a nearby skyscraper just having a sneaky free look inside, very weird!

    Having said that, the ground was only half full that night and there were no geordies anywhere near us, so it might be different on a Saturday afternoon, if they still get decent league crowds next season

    It's a good idea in theory

    So you can never hear and hardly see your fans as the away team... didn't do them any favours last season though! :D

    Yes, and before they built the third tier, they put large ...

    ... away followings in three parts of the ground, like they did with us in the FA Cup quarter final in 1998, *****

    F.ck us

    Better take me opera glasses.</p>

    Mind, when we laik them they'll be languishing mid table so their crowds will be down to 16,000 like the early 80's so we'll be able to pick a seat.
