Firstly, yes we are aware of the name change, however at AwaySupporters we are against modern football, thus will refer to St James' Park by its proper name throughout this review.

St James' Park is one of the more impressive stadiums in the Premier League and on its day, you will be hard pushed to find a better atmosphere.

Having said that, the view for away fans is somewhat... different. You can expect your seat to be right up in the heavens on the top tier of the Sir John Hall Stand. So if you suffer from vertigo or the 14 flights of stairs seem a bit much for you, then maybe give this one a miss?!

There is plenty of room in the concourses and alcohol is served inside the stadium. Newcastle as a city is on a par with Manchester, London and Blackpool for weekenders, with the nightlife being some of the best in the country. The locals are friendly and it makes for a perfect weekend destination.
