A scam in the seats at Newcastle United and a trip to Darlington goes badly wrong nufc
’, I documented how in a few short years, I went from attending my first game at St James’ Park to travelling the length and breadth of the country watching Newcastle United.
It was Spring 1985 and being one of those kids who never really won anything, I was amazed to learn that I’d done something or other at school that warranted me receiving a pair of tickets in the West Stand for the visit ofWe located our seats a good twenty minutes before kick off and had just about got acquainted with our unfamiliar surroundings when two thick set guys turned up, insisting we were in their seats.
When we were there, we saw the same steward and the same two thick set guys who clearly had some kind of scam going, being allowed to sit a few rows from us. Not a hint of shame or embarrassment but no doubt seriously hacked off that we were back and in ‘their’ seats. Being young and full of bravado, I kept making eye contact with one of them, laughing as I did. The old man wasn’t too happy with me.
We weren’t far out of the station, not having the faintest idea where Feethams was, when we were approached by a group of lads who made the usual enquiries as to where we were from. Before we knew it, our newly found acquaintance proudly proclaimed that we were Notts County and that we were up for a scrap.
