Away Teams Hotel

[contrarian]

Wise SMB, help settle an argument.

I was talking to a Newcastle fan earlier who insisted that away teams always stay in Newcastle when playing at the SOL.

Whilst this might have been the case last time we were in the Prem, I argued this is no longer the case.

Who’s correct?

Why would you argue about something you don’t know the answer to

The bastards have won
The away team stops in newcastle cup

A few League 1 teams stopped at the Hilton

You are both wrong as Durham is the most common location. Teams would generally prefer to stay far enough away from a stadium to create that mental separation if it’s a night before stay, like I imagine most teams would do for us given how far north we are from most PL teams. So it’s not uncommon for teams to stay away from the city they’re playing in. I bet we do the same at most away games too

It isn't. Almost all of them this year have stayed at the Quayside - usually Copthorne.

On par with the airport argument. Utterly irrelevant but something they regularly bring up to make themselves feel in someway superior

 

[Fact Hunt]

I think the op is a melt.

 

[Roadhouse]

Between this and the airport we might as well fold the club.

In their heads , their city is like Paris.

They are Jacob’s man.

The more un eco-friendly mega busses congest their city and cause potential traffic there the better IMO.

 

[19FTM73]

Both incorrect

They stay in Durham

I have seen oppostion teams at the raddisoon blue in Durham before.

It makes sense for away teams to stay outside of Sunderland, the hotbed of NE Football for matches at the SOL.

You want the team relaxing pre match not staying in the belly of the beast.

 

[forever changes]

Are they claiming the hotels cup now

 

[Randy Savage]

Teams also stay at Gibson’s place at Hurworth. Rockcliffe Hall.


Commiserations

One of the best days of my life mate.

Pro tip: choose a good woman.

Spurs stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Scumville the other week

That place is a knocking shop.

Who cares really but many away sides stay in Durham at the Radisson .

 

[Quinns Disco Kegs]

This has really taken the shine off beating them twice this season - not sure if I'll be able to enjoy the last few games now.

 

[Gronkowski]

How does one even find themselves in an ‘argument’ like this, and then feel the need to come to the internet for validation?

Grown blokes

They used to stay at the marriott a lot. Its probably just down to what corporate account and deal they have for all their trips during the season. Unfortunately we still need more of the major operators to open a hotel in town

 

[PoolsMackem123]

Not true at all but okay

 

[sofatester]

Do grown men still argue about stuff like this
