Away fans are housed on the very far side of the Sir John Hall Stand, in the top tier. Up to 3,000supporters can be accommodated in this section for league games. Be warned though that it is a climb of 14 flights of stairs up to the away section and that you are situated quite far away from the pitch.
So if you are scared of heights or have poor eye sight then this may not be for you. On the plus side you do get a wonderful view of the whole stadium, plus the Newcastle skyline and countryside in the distance. Also the leg room and height between rows are some the best that I have come across and the facilities on offer are pretty good. Away fans also get the best view of the new video screen that has been installed as it is located on that side of the stand.
The concourse is spacious and there is a fair selection of food and drink on offer including the Chicken Balti Pie (£3), plus the usual burgers and hot dogs, all served in Newcastle United branded packaging. There are also televisions on the concourse, showing live the game being played, with separate refreshment areas which serve alcohol, again in Newcastle United branded plastic glasses.Â

Jeremy Gold a visiting Leyton Orient supporter adds; 'The visitors section is on level seven at the top of the stand. The view is a long way from the pitch, although it is still good. If you suffer from vertigo, don't go! The stewarding at the game I went to was fairly strict. However people were being warned against gesturing before they were thrown out. Unfortunately some people didn't take the hint and about five or six made the long trip back down the fourteen flights of stairs!'
The ground itself is one of the few remaining in the country that is literally right in the centre of the city. You are only a few minutes walk from the main shopping areas of Newcastle. There are plenty of bars to choose from in the city centre, but most away fans tend to favour the pubs opposite and around Newcastle Railway Station.
The Lounge
The 'A Head Of Steam http://www.theheadofsteam.co.uk/pub?pub=6 The Lounge' and 'O'Neills' are all recommended, but some of these bars will only admit fans if colours are covered and none of them admitted children.
Also nearby is a Wetherspoons outlet called the Union Rooms.
The Bodega on Westgate Road is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and has a friendly atmosphere.

To all you travelling Jacks - have a fantastic time. If we lose, don't go punching any horses please.
If we go out and attack, we'll win.

You think that things couldn't get any worse for Newcastle? You'd be wrong:

Never mind binoculars, take oxygen there's a lot of stairs. And don't forget to buy your programme BEFORE you enter the ground as they don't sell them inside. Saying that, nice view of the Tyne Bridge and The Sage. |  |

Yes there are mate.
Without binoculars, Leon looks like a Subbuteo player from up in the away end.
With them, he becomes child sized 
Safe journey to all the travelling faithful. and cheer us onto a good win.

Yes, I had trouble using it to go back down to try and get a programme. They let me out of the ground about 10 to 3 and it was like fighting against the tide, I was going one way, thousands were going the other, an amazing sight. | |

They haven't won in how long? We are suckers for a sob story. Shelvey to probably have his best game in Newcastle jersey as well.. Or get sent off. Or be having his best game then get sent off. Only lost once to them in the prem, never lost away. The odds stack towards a swans win but it wouldn't be the first time we've lost against a team we should have comfortably beaten!

Roadworks on the motorway between Worcester and Stoke made a coach trip to Manchester last Friday take eight hours.
Doesn't look like much has improved since then. |  |

Id rather get the points on the board. I'm pretty happy despite a large frothy contingent of whinnying purists. Defend and attack on the break. A borefest draw and no injuries but good application will do me just fine. I'd like to see routs Alberto and Ayew up front. |  | | |

Have a word with the stewards near the turnstiles.
I went there the season before last. For some reason which I can't remember, there was a problem with my missus' ticket, it wouldn't go through the barcode reader on the turnstile or something.
We had to go and report the problem to a steward and he let us in at a door to the side of the turnstiles. Lo and behold, the door opened onto an area where the lift was, and at that very second, they were loading in the elderly and infirm away supporters to take them up to the seats in the Gods. Me and my missus nipped in and we were whisked straight up, avoiding the sixteen flights of stairs. Sorted! [Post edited 15 Apr 2016 9:44]

Think its going to be a difficult game,Newcastle are not yet down and will come at us hell bent to get 3 points,you can bet your bottom dollar that Shelvey will be straining at the leash to get one over on us.After a hard match a draw is how I see the result. | | | |
