Newcastle away !! What a crazy eventfull trip this one turned out to be !!   The day began with a lift to the station from designated driver Dave. Fletch, Marc, Joe and Warren where on this trip with the plan to meet big eck on arrival. A dodgy burger king breakfast was chucked away and the lads where soon on the train doing the long journey to Newcastle !!   On arrival big eck met the lads at the station and took them to a quality boozer called Sam Jacks via a macces !! The pub seemed fairly quiet but soon filled up and the entertainment began. Four stippers where on stage to entertain the five hundred or so lads in the room along with drinking competitions and general fun. Big eck was caught trying to get a picture off the strippers and told off by the dj. This was a great boozer, loads going on and easy to get a drink. It soon approached kick off time and lads departed to head to the ground !! After walking up about five hundred steps the lads where eventually at the top of st james's park and in the ground !!   The game began well, Birmingham doing the pressing and where rewarded when Cameron Jerome rounded the goalkeeper and passed Birmingham in to a early lead !! It was 1-1 at the break though as the worst referee in Premiership history Rob Styles gave Newcastle a soft penalty that Martins scored, Taylor nearly got to it !!  1-1 at the break and time for a couple more beers, Fletch, Joe and Big eck actually stayed in the back drinking until about half four, then they relised they should really show there face for the last twenty minutes after going all this way, they returned to there seats to watch the end of the game !! Birmingham well worth a point didn't get this, a late corner, poor marking and Beye tapped in give Newcastle all three points !!
