Newcastle Away

[AAK]

£10 Adults and £5 juniors. Great pricing, should see a couple of thousand going up if not more.

[Tom]

People won’t be happy - prices double on match day and we don’t like the walk on tax on here!

Glad the clubs agreed a sensible price for this 

[Sparks Rover]

Where does it say this?

[JHRover]

It's on Newcastle's website so it needs to be the same for us.

Hats off to both clubs for agreeing this. Newcastle are usually sensible with their pricing. I suppose for Rovers if there's 40 odd thousand on at £10 a piece it's still a good money spinner rather than having a home game or a lower league club.

[K-Hod]

@Biz We're definitely having it!

[Ossydave]

Great initiative at a time some folk will be a bit brassic after Christmas. 

So to put it in context £10 match ticket, £23 Hotel room = less than the price of a ticket alone for the Leeds game so I'm happy with that! 

[Ossydave]

Now a 5.30 kick off

[superniko]

Great news and should see us sell a few. £30 Boro, £29 Sheff Utd, £39 Leeds and then £10 Newcastle. 

It has moved to 17:30 kick off but hopefully still shift loads.

[tomphil]

In step the TV companies again and spoil it .

[Waggy76]

Why is this game on TV ???

[Ossydave]

Foreign TV

[Waggy76]

So not on BT or BBC ??

Changed KO for purely overseas viewers, is this new? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that?

Seems strange, but have been offered some good money. I remember this happening in Uefa Cup against Leverkusen, all kicks off in Uefa Cup that year were 19:45 but German TV paid a shed load for the game so it kicked off at 17:30, affecting attendance, still got 20k on mind.

Cheers ,probably go now...

[AAK]

In some ways though even better, few hours around Newcastle in afternoon, and then onto the match.

Remember that, but for a domestic game?

Think bet365 will now legally stream this in the U.K.

[RV Blue]

What’s the best way to get up there on the train?

[only2garners]

Depends whether Northern extend their Saturday strikes or not. If not, to Preston, up to Carlisle and across is probably the best. If they do, then you will need to get into Manchester and a TPE train north. How you do that depends where you're starting from, as there may be no trains at all in Blackburn.

My mates a Portsmouth fan, I brought to Ewood last Saturday, we went to watch Portsmouth at Rochdale on Sunday at 1400pm because it was on foreign TV.
