Unpopular opinions.

That’s not unpopular surely? It’s fucking awful & I thought universally accepted as being the Benidorm of the UK when it comes to arseholery? 

I wouldn't want a night out in it, but it's a good day out for football (not United) and pubs.

Which football?

Take your pick. My favourite is South Shields, but there's about 20 non league teams in easy travelling distance and another 20 odd that need a bit more effort, Morpeth, Blyth etc.

I admire your indefatigability. The last time I was in that neck of the woods I hung about St James Park with my son looking for tickets to tick off a ground. Nothing doing. Headed south to take in Darlington v Boston United instead. 2,000 fans in a 30,000 seated stadium - soul destroying, worse than watching Queen's Park away at Hampden with the horrible stewards.

I think Darlington will be a better day out, now they've moved. I only went to United once, when they played non-league Luton in the cup and it was very cheap to get in.

Very much this. Within easy travel distance of Newcastle you've got numerous clubs to visit. A great place to base yourself for a weekend, get to some good boozers and head out for a game in the National League/North/Northern League.

If anything, the Benidormish reputation makes Newcastle under-rated. It's got to be among the best places in the UK for a fitba-watcher.
