How it was when it was - Newcastle United 1979-1985 nufc
examining how it all started for him with Newcastle United, I thought I’d try and provide some light-hearted relief in between contemplating how to avoid Monday’s score and watching the packaged highlights later in the day.
On a gloriously sunny day, Brighton hammered us 3-1 . My other memories of the day included observing the camber on the immaculately manicured pitch from the E Wing paddock, the nets pulled nice and tight and held in by proper pegs, not the half bricks that I was accustomed to at the local park where I watched the Gateshead and District Sunday League, and above all else, a hell of a following from the south coast. They filled all of the Leazes End and had a fair few in the East Stand as well.
The following season was awesome. Not only because we were promoted but because that was the first time I noticed this new phenomenon taking hold at football stadia the length and breadth of the land. At Blackburn, being a good Catholic and with it being Good Friday, I starved because all they had on offer in the way of hospitality were hotdogs, burgers and meat and potato pies. We drew 1-1, another precious point as we edged towards the promised land. Huddersfield, last away game, was funny. Another draw and the place where we clinched promotion, but in all the excitement I was convinced we’d won 3-2 .
The significance of the Villa match being the last time I stood on the Gallowgate is because thereafter, I frequented the Leazes End, preferring to pay half price into the corner next to Leazes Terrace and taking my chances with the metal fence and the often overzealous stewards, to get into the centre where for some reason they charged full price only, but it was after all, closer to the away fans who we would both goad and look up and down for fashion tips.
