punnett Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Cant fly back from Newcastle on Saturday night any more (like many did for Carlisle a couple of years ago) looks like a Saturday night at the Bigg market then and a Sunday afternoon flight home, slightly strange really as there are evening flights back to Bristol every other night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1975Legend Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I would suggest to anyone that when you see the Newcastle away fixture date think before booking...... TV has a wonderful way of interrfering with best laid plans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV has a wonderful way of interrfering with best laid plans.... Also book early as the flights up for the game v Hartlepool not so long ago soon reached sums you would not associate with cheapo airlines.

PhatWill Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Also do-able on train direct from both BTM and Parkway. £100 rtn could work same price or cheaper than flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked not long ago on the EasyJet site to check prices, for adults they ranged from £20-£35 each way. However if the match in mind airlines may decide to raise prices for that particular weekend.

They have some "cheap" tickets, when they sell they raise the price again, when they sell they raise the price again. etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if the match in mind airlines may decide to raise prices for that particular weekend. The prices rise with demand. The more people book the higher the price till the demand decreases and the price drops. It will be cheaper on the train for most but not as convienient [obviously flights around forty five minutes].

21. Marcham Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Read my post (no. 7) again! Cheers, must have missed it first time. Who thinks we'll sell out for this game? I'd have thought we'd get around 3,000 allocated if we needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought we'd get around 3,000 allocated if we needed it. Definitely a sell-out, it'll be the one game everyone wants to go to, with a 50,000 capacity would hope to get more than 3000, remember going there in early 90s the attendence was only 11000, so much for the countrys most loyal supporters!

I just hope they give us a decent section of the ground. I've been to St James' Park a few times and the away fans are always stuck up in the corner of the top tier in the main stand. Seeing as the ground will rarely sell out to home fans (I'd imagine - 55,000 in the Championship is pretty unlikely!) then hopefully they'll give the away fans a bit more of a decent view. Anybody know what they'll be doing about ticket prices? I wonder if they'll try and maintain Premier League prices?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 If Newcastle fans are as fantastic and loyal as they and the media would have you believe, then they will still sell out. I'd expect the same allocation and location in the ground (i.e. up in the gods) as in recent seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 You can't trust the airlines, I've got a boat with room for three more on board £50 each but it takes a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWurzel Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I don't know why people are so against driving to games like this. Average of 12p per mile you could drive there and back for £70 between 3/4 of you it's cheap as chips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how long it takes to fly, waiting around in airports, taxes etc, coupled with the price of tickets, it's much cheaper and convenient to drive up surely.

Average of 12p per mile you could drive there and back for £70 between 3/4 of you it's cheap as chips!I drive to most away games but even I shall be getting on a plane for this one. With traffic and service station stops your looking at a 7 hour trip each way and that ain't something I really fancy doing tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWurzel Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I don't see how it can be a 7 hour trip each way. I did Sheffield in less than 3 last season and then it's only another 1.5/2 hours on. I reckon you could do it door to door in 5 plus whatever you want to add on for stoppages, probably comparable with getting to the airport, checking in, boarding, flight, then getting through the airport and getting to wherever you're staying. I remember doing that with Hartlepool, seemed like such a quick and easy idea but from door to door it probably took as long or longer than driving, and much more expensive.
