 Newcastle v Lillestrom July
2006 by toonsarah
Everyone takes an interest in what's happening at the football club:
are there new players joining?
who will be in the team on Saturday?
will we have a chance in the cup this year? and so on!
Even if you're not a big sports fan I think you'd enjoy the experience of a match here, and it really is the best way to meet some locals and get to know them. Tickets are hard to come by for the really big games, but for most matches you should be able to get them - try the club's official website for ticket news and box office details. Plan to have a drink beforehand in one of the pubs in Percy Street or maybe in Shearer's Bar at the ground, and do the same afterwards too if you can. Get talking to a few fans about the game, buy a round, and you'll have a great time - I guarantee it! People here love their football, and even more they love the chance to talk about it.
And if you do catch the bug, check out my Toon Army album to see where this fanaticism can lead!

 At the match by toonsarah
- the changing rooms
- a chance to stand Pitch side
- the Dugouts
- the Media Suite
- the view from the highest point in the stadium
The Stadium Tour ticket price also includes entry to the new Club Museum which features photographs and memorabilia from across the years.
Ticket prices are: £10 adults £7 concessions. There’s also a Family Ticket available for £34 which admits 2 adults and 3 children
Tours run most days apart from Match days, but I recommend you check with the club to see if there’s a tour on any particular date. The tours start from the St James' Café at 11am and 1.30pm, and you need to arrive at least 5 mins prior to the start of their tour. Tours last approx 90 minutes
Everyone who goes on the tour gets a Tour Certificate (also new since we went so I’m not sure what that looks like!), and you also get 15% off a meal in Shearer's Bar on production of a valid tour ticket for that day. We’ve eaten there a couple of times and it’s decent pub food standard. Phone: 0870 850 8074Directions: The cafe is in the southwest corner of the ground, to your left as you look at the stadium from St James' Park MetroWebsite: http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk Other Contact: stadium.tours@nufc.co.uk

Despite fanatical support, just look at the number of locals who wear a Newcastle football top all day every day the team has not had much success of late. Back in their glory day they were a force to be reckoned with.
In the hagiography of footballing legends in the North-east one man stands head and shoulders (not literally) above the rest. He was Jackie Milburn, known to all as 'wor Jackie'. He only ever played for Newcastle and scored some 199 goals for them.
Find his statue in Northumberland Street near St James's park stadium. Leave a Comment

Surprisingly close to the city centre, St James' Park is home to the premiership side of Newcastle United.
The ground has a capacity of 52,316, all of which is seated these days.
The ground was built in 1892, but has been much rebuilt in recent years into a modern stadium.
Admission prices for away fans - Sir John Hall Stand: Adults: ?30, Senior Citizens ?25, Juniors ?16. Leave a Comment Address: St. James' Park, Newcastle-upon-Tyne NE1 4ST

Newcastle and the neighbouring City of Sunderland have two of the most pasionate sets of Football fans in the whole of England. Neither Club has ever lived up to the expectations of those supporters. However both teams are having something of a resurgance both holding their own in the top division. Tickets can be very hard to get for big matches still sports fans will enjoy the experience, and both grounds are enlarging which should make tickets easier to get.TIP the rivalry between the two is intense. Do not even think about wearing Sunderland colours in Newcastle or vice-verca.

Newcastle recently lost a 10 point lead in the league to end up finishing second, and had some memorable last-minute defeats in the run-in to the season end, notably at Liverpool where they lost 4-3 to two last minute goals! Oh how we laughed! Directions: Virtually in the City Centre, behind the road called 'Haymarket'.Other Contact: You can get the Metro to the Sta

YOu have to go - its right slap bang in the middle - even if you're not a fan and just dragged along like myself - I really enjoyed it - get a tour, the guide we had (bob) was so passionate about it it was great going around with him and hearing his jokes and what he had to say. WE got to see the dressing rooms the pitch side the press room, the views are grea too!!
