One For The Road Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just wondered if anyone knows anywhere safe for us to drink pre/post match. I've not been up there since the 3-0 win in 2005 (Bowyer and Dyer's fighting day!). We are gonna stay in a hotel and go out on the town on the night but is there anywhere to drink before hand for away fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 There's usually a meet of North East based fans in the Town Wall pub, on Pink Lane (just over the road from the central train station, on the way to St James'). I always use The Forth, when I head to the Toon, which is right next to it. You'll get no hassle at all in there, mind I'd be surprised if you do anywhere. Newcastle is a cracking drinking city, so there's plenty for all tastes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Millions of pubs close to the stadium although never been on a matchday so no idea which are home fans only and which are shared. Could be worth stopping off in Durham, again plenty of boozers and only 15 minutes out of Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm a local and you will be fine anywhere which isn't right next to the stadium. As someone suggested - the Forth and the Town Wall are good. Look out for us in the away end - we are the Villa fans with Geordie accents that always get the funny looks in the away end at Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesborough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to spend alot of time in Walsall when I was a kid with family down there (my uncle and cousins), and my uncle is a big Villa fan, so he used to take us along to Villa games in the late 80s and early 90s, and that was it! My earliest football memory is Tony Daley running down the wing at Villa Park. Also though, the thing about Newcastle fans being loyal through thick and thin is a bit of a myth. When I was at school, and Newcastle were outside the top flight, all the kids I knew supported Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton etc. Then Kevin Keegan arrived and suddenly everyone had always supported Newcastle! I stuck with Villa for my sins....its in my blood now.... Edited December 19, 2015 by GeordieVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
