Football: St. James' Park
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Sports Watching

    The stadium of Newcastle United "St. James' Park" is located only a few minutes walk from Newcastle's city centre. I love seeing football stadiums when I am travelling and I was surprised to see this one so close when standing on the viewing platform of BALTIC. The "Magpies" were playing Aston Villa when we were there and on the picture you can even see the people in the stadium!

    We walked by the stadium on our way to Chinatown and it looked quite impressive from what I saw - definitely more impressive than German stadia (!), anyway ;-)

    It was funny, when we walked there all the Newcastle United supporters were leaving into the direction we came from. Nobody complained. Nobody said anything to us even though we went into the "wrong" direction. This wouldn't be possible with German football "supporters". I would be happy to get where I want to go without being beaten up here!

    Equipment: A black and white shirt and a ticket (Latter one sounds impossible to get though!)

     Haha, love the Newcastle girls tip. I've heard there are no cloakrooms in Newcastle nightclubs as the girls never wear any! Looking forward to seeing all those bridges too, I think our hotel is on the quayside.

     "Of all the cities I have seen during my trip to England it was Newcastle I liked best." - And I can see why ;) How could I not discover this page earlier? If you know of any cheap flights there, let me know!
