newcastle canton family swap

Will the club swap the family stand to the canton for the Newcastle friendly?
I think this is a great idea. Any thoughts?

Doubt it will happen. They invested quite a bit within the family stand for the kids area......and being a friendly game and summer holidays, you'd expect more families going to the game.

Cant see it happenning either in the near future as well, since its not up the football club, the key decision maker would be the stadium manager as well as the police.

Surely you can buy a ticket for anywhere in the ground for a friendly?

Depends, sometimes they may just open the Ninian stand and Grandstand for supporters, and close the Canton and Grange End. But if all stands are open, you can sit anywhere. :ayatollah:

Good idea.

Trial it here, then in a league game.


Anything is worth a try. (except that bloody drum)

No! They can have some games police free with the family stand next to the away end.
