Avflife Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Where is Whitley Bay Wack, close to St James Park?? Does the £20 coach include accommodation at the hotel aswell or is that extra, be very surprised and buzzing if it did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wack Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 £20 is just for the coach, hotels start from about £25 with breakfast. whitley bay is around 10 mile from the ground. we will be leaving around 9 am on the sat morning, with a stop on way to break journey up. we will leave for the ground on the sunday in plenty of time to park at ground. back to brum after game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 for anybody thinking of getting the train it may be cheaper to break up your journey. return from sheffield would have cost me pushing £50 but by going to york and then changing (even though the same train goes through to newcastle) i have got a return for £20.

stratford_villa Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Will be driving up myself, anyone got any experience of match day parking up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillett7 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 me and a mate going up saturday morning , staying in a hotel in kenton bank about 3 miles from ground. Saturday night should be good, hungover for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevillain Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Will be driving up myself, anyone got any experience of match day parking up there? Nightmare on match days, dont even try to park in newcastle centre or anywhere near the ground. Best bet, is to park up at one of the Metro stations and get the train into to either Monument or Haymarket station, you can walk up to the ground from either of them. Be warned though its a bit of a nightmare after the match getting on back on the train (playing sardines with a load of sweaty, and no doubt depressed, barcodes isn't fun) Have a look here - might be helpful http://www.nexus.org.uk/metro Obviously on the map St James station is next to the ground, but that to is nightmarish before and after match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Shite We're driving up from Manchester, but planning on getting there seriously early doors so we can have a walk around the city in the morning, what do you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevillain Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You can park for free at most of the Metro stations, one of the Gateshead ones should be OK, its only a couple of stops into newcastle centre. Or if you are getting there early you could park in one of the city centre car parks but that'll cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ok cool well we'll aim for the Gateshead one, easier to get away after the game than something right in the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
