I go to any Newcastle away games I can get tickets for, but this was the first in a while and only possible due to the changes to loyalty points policy stopping people on high points buying tickets and passing them on. To say I was looking forward to it would be a huge understatement.
I drove – it was fine. The late kick-off time (8pm Saturday) made the journey back unpleasant.
I used JustPark and paid £12 to stop on somebody’s drive about 1.5 miles away, so that was easy – as was getting to the stadium. Getting back to the car was harder as the route went through and area that had gates locked at night, so I had quite a detour.
There were no designated away pubs, so we just went to the fan area at the ground.
It was OK – non-alcoholic beer was a bit expensive and seemed to confuse the staff though!
It’s not good that the away fans are split over 3 levels – and from the top level the view wasn’t fantastic. About the same as Level 7 at Newcastle, which gets a lot more criticism.
Away fans were excellent as always. Home support was very poor – only sang when they scored and a lot left before the end even when only 1-0 up
9/10.
The route away was a bit convoluted and it didn’t make much difference as everybody came back together 200 yards away anyway. Route back to car was complicated by gated areas that were locked.
£60 which is not bad for an away game – helped by driving on the same day in an electric car!
Yes, definitely!
This was the first away game for us after Covid that was available and it is a good ground and guaranteed to see some good players at Man City.
I took the train, which made for a long day. Train home was cancelled so had to take 5 different ones to get home which was ridiculous and expensive.
I went to a shopping mall in the middle of Manchester and ate Mcdonald’s so was very standard.
Was alright, didn’t really look at the food but they gave me my drink for half price for some reason so I was happy but even at full price they are not too bad.
Away fans are in the corner over 3 levels I think however they were only in 2 levels when I went. I was in the higher one which still was a decent view. Could see the game well with nothing blocking my sight.
Pretty dry from the home fans considering they won 5-0, our fans were quiet too which isn’t surprising.
8/10.
Wasn’t too bad, there was lots of people but most roads around the ground were shut and then just flooded with people even after that. Think it would be a nightmare for cars.
About £90-£100 which was awful I thought, mainly the trains fault though.
Alright away day to be honest, Manchester is a good city and it is a class ground – atmosphere is dry but good day out.
