At the match today

[dirty bristow]

There was a bus pulled in about 1400hrs with a Tyneside phone number on full of nothing but males aged roughly 20-35, many of them hard looking.
They then all assembled at the end of the street where the away buses are and hung about for about 15 minutes.
Then one bloke stood in the middle of them and they all crowded around. They looked very menacing. The bloke in the middle then started dishing out tickets and they all wandered off in smaller groups. It took me a while to work it out ( I think I am right)....was it armed forces ticket day today?

there's loads of tickets for troops knocking about for just about every game. I may even take advantage meself later on in the season. I'm a Falklands veteran you know!

Fantastic gesture from the club like, there's more for our games than anyone elses (i've checked), and I know from experience that it's a great thing to get your picture taken somewhere wild and wooly with your red and white stripes on.

Tickets for troops is ace, just got myself a couple of free tickets for BAMMA 5 at the Metro Arena next month.

There was also a squad of Dutch supporters who cheered when zenden came on front of the East Stand.
