Thats a surprise for me, where will they put them? Makes us a nice little earner though.

Could be like the Celtic game....

Even more surprised that the police have agreed to this after past pre-seasons.

That would make sense, they can all enter at roughly the same part of the ground.

Even more surprised that the police have agreed to this after past pre-seasons.

Which is why I said I didn't think they would let Wednesday fans in the BM stand on the earlier threads.

Me too, the Celtic game mayhem and the cancelled Leicester game spring to mind.
3000 Wendy's having a few light ales to start the weekend off, what could go wrong....

To be fair I'm not sure Sting, Copeland and Summers have much sway on football matches any more.

Well they wouldn't want them anywhere near their proximity anyway presumably..

Jesus, are we going to start selling out pre-season friendlies now...

I did ask this question on another thread! Could easily be 6-7k there. Bonkers.

Fully agree with the decision to grant Wednesday additional tickets. Should make for a good atmosphere and large crowd not to mention the extra revenue.
We have come a long way since that Leicester farce back in 2012 and the subsequent decision to play larger clubs U-21 sides pre-season with gates of 400.

Wee lesson from the management, organise decent friendlies = generate enough cash for signing on fee for non league/league two player. Next year Boro, Sunderland and Leeds.

Nope thats silly!
Isnt it?????

Sold out Newcastle didn't we in 1996?

 

[Jivin Imp]

Sold out Newcastle didn't we in 1996?

If I remember rightly, it was Alan Shearer's debut after £15m move from Blackburn. Ferdinand, Ginloa, Albert, et al and I was there. I think they won 2-0

That was a rare one off, also that Newcastle team were everybody's second team at the time then add in Shearer's debut.

yes, steve Holmes gave a very convenient penalty away in front of the gathered paparazzi behind the South Park goals for Shearer to score a pen.

There will be some unhappy campers, as Wednesday will have the St Andrews Stand.
