I went to a SIMOD cup tie at Maine Road against Manchester City. It was played on a Saturday for some reason. I think the Town won and Milton scored.
I can't even remember what the SIMOD cup was all about. |  | | |  |

59th second was the goal time, every Newcastle player touched the ball compared to our 0 touches and I arrived 5 minutes before kick off, was always going to go like that from that moment  |
Leon Best hitting the bar at 1-0 was the turning point! |  | | |

December 16th 1989.
Hull City v Ipswich Town.
Went with a couple of mates on the train from London.
A large crate of cider was bought for the journey which we tucked in to as the train left the capital under slate grey skies.
On changing trains at Doncaster, we were told by a fella who looked part trainspotter/Yewtree candidate that the game was called off at Hull by the referee, Mr Flood.
Oh how we laughed as we got on the train to Hull - Mr Flood!
Oh how we didn't laugh as we got off the train at Hull Station to see a chalkboard announcing the game had been postponed.
We got back on the train and finished the cider. |  |

I was on an eastern national coach that turned back at Grantham services for that one.
When the game was finally played. We came back from 3 down to level, then lost 4-3 late on. |  |

Apart from the fact that is not an away game, has not been played yet and I have no intention of going I would say the game against Spurs 4th team next Tuesday. |  | | |

Stoke away 1986/87 season. Travelled by train from Newcastle, where I was at the Poly, and got to Manchester no problem. Then started to snow... By the time I got to Stoke there was a foot of snow on the ground and the game was off - there were about 10 other Town fans there as far as I can remember. | | | |

My annual reminder that game off due to waterlogged pitch and ref was Alan Flood. Oh how we laughed on the coach ride home from Grantham! No mobiles back then, how did the driver even know? Listening to Radio 2 I presume. |  |

A reserve team game away at Upton Park. A friend of a friend was on the bench for us (but didn't get on). Davor Suker, aged 67, played on the wing for them. |  | | |

Also at Maine Road, when it was rained off after 20 minutes or so. We had a monsoon leading up to kick off and it was a surprise the game even started. Totally pointless. |  |

I did watch our youth team put half a dozen or so goals past Southwold Town on the Common. Subsequently I think Southwold got themselves into a bit of a financial mess, from which they're recovering. |  |

I was watching some cricket at Southwold over the weekend - Graham Gooch was in attendance | |

Did a couple of midlands preseason friendlies once.
Notts County away at Grantham Town. Also Rushden and Diamonds (or might have been Kettering Town).
Both would have been mid - late 90s.
Fiik why. |  |

Forest away in 2017. Last game of the season, reserves like Samuel, Rowe and Moore all played, we lost compliantly to a team with something to play for, and depending on the result we could finish as high as 16th and as low as 16th. |  |

There was a Mickey Mouse cup game at Norwich ( in the early nineties or late eighties I think). It may have even been the Simod Cup, and in typical fashion Norwich were not expecting a decent away following. It wasn’t all ticket and thousands of Ipswich fans were locked out of a 3/4’s full ground where there was ample room.
That was pretty pointless.
As I recall, they were predictably unapologetic for the inconvenience they caused. Can’t remember the result. | | | |

0-2 March 1991. I think it was the Zenith Data Cup by then.
I was one of the locked-outees.
I think the half-arsed apology for the cock up came in the form of £3 tickets to see the Hospital Cup match that summer. | |

Thank you for filling in the blanks!
I lived in London at the time and was pretty irritated by the wasted journey. As I recall the pubs were on red alert for disaffected Town supporters and we couldn’t even get a pint.
I seem to remember just getting back on the train in the end. | | | |

Newcastle away 2016 was very similar to that but thankfully it was a Saturday. We went 1-0 within 5 minutes I think as well. |
You don't think that it was good to be part of five thousand Town fans making a decent noise to counter the fifty five thousand Geordies?
Despite the result I quite enjoyed that game as a football experience (never having been to St. James's Park before), we had seen a decent amount of Newcastle city centre before the game and probably the best Chinese meal I have ever had down the road from the ground afterwards. |  |
