Same position. Gave up after 25 years a season ticket holder when Rafa left and bought memberships last 2 seasons so still able to get to games but missing this final - a final we actually have a chance of winning - is a total shitter. Hopefully it won't be another 25 years til the next though - we're owned by people who will want us to be regulars at Wembley.

Gave up after 20 odd years having a season ticket when Rafa left. Been to a few games this season and the bug is back. Will be trying for tickets for me and the bairn but too old to be camping out!!!

Young Joe Allon bottom right? I remember the game . Ray Houghton ran us absolutely ragged.

Same here. Jacked it in when Rafa left after 20 odd years as a season ticket holder. Took a leap of faith on Wednesday and got tickets for me and the bairn. Swore I'd not be back until Ashley went. Collective relief/excitement/euphoria should make it unforgettable.

This is absolutely surreal. Can't quite believe it. Fucking hell.

What did he say?

The plane parked well away from prying eyes apparently. Also told that there are a number of SUV type vehicles at the airport with blacked out windows. Heavy police/security presence. Plus press. And nosy fans.

Assume CS-REU is the Reubens plane? If so it's due to land at Newcastle at 11.43....

11.43 CSREU is due to land in Newcastle according to Flight Radar.....

"It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma...."

I wonder if this was the unexpected hiccup Caulkin alluded to last week? And as stated above that it's only been released to the press now?

Some might feel hurt, angry and disillusioned enough to turn their backs altogether, to the extent that they won't even watch on the tele. Fair enough, can't blame them. I'll be watching, but I feel pretty emotionally detached. It's difficult/impossible to get behind an institution which is actively insulting the nature of sporting competition. I'll be watching on TV. They're my club, I want them to win. I'll cheer when we score. I can't disassociate myself with NUFC altogether.

Not any more. Me, brother and the bairn cancelled in February after the shambles of the January window and it being obvious by that stage that Rafa wouldn't stay beyond the summer.
