Big screens in Newcastle

[michaelowen]

I’m looking for suggestions for a bar with big screen/screens to watch a certain game in February in Newcastle city centre. Any advice lads n lasses?

[Zippity]

I'm thinking that myself. The Strawberry is the obvious one although you'd best start queuing straight after the game on Tuesday if we get through.

I’ve booked a hotel so I can stay over to celebrate (hopefully) and at least be able to watch the game in a mackem free environment.

Three Bulls have a big screen. Will be chocka though.

Yes was thinking of the three bulls or maybe Rafferty’s or somewhere near the train station. Best for me would be somewhere near the Quayside as our hotel is down there. Wherever we end up it’s going to be fantastic! HWTL

Can you book tables? I was in London during the WC and you could in the pubs for the England games - at a price, usually with some beer included.

Theres 2 fanzones being set up so far with a probable 3rd

one is organised by northumbria uni, the fed breweries are holding an indoors fanzone and the 3rd thats been mentioned but not confirmed yet is wylam breweries

quite poossible st james' might do something or the council

Gossie racecourse has been mentioned as a possible venue too

I was lucky for the last two Finals,I had a neighbour an ex pro who was a coach at a club,I got tickets at cost price off him.

the mayfair seems pretty popular these days for matches. they have a large screen tooo.
i think they have some seats that can be booked but also cater for casual walk ins too

Tried booking a table in various pub/restaurant types but everything is full. Looks like I’m cancelling hotel and watching with the mackems in Washington. In all my years I never thought it would come to this!
