Oops! Sorry - it just sort of came out! I`m getting all excited about tonight`s match - and I won`t even be there - not in the flesh anyway! To all of you who will be there, have a fantastic time. I have a feeling that the first match in the new improved stadium will be one to remember. It should be rockin` - especially when we score our first goal! Dying to know what the atmosphere was like - so I will be looking for postings (even druken ramblings will do) late this evening! UP THE TOON!!!!!!!!!!!(:o)

I qam frankly almost wetting myself. Had a coffee in Mark Toney's and read the Ronnie and the matchday programme (as I used to years ago) and there's a palpable sense of excitement around the place. ETFCDAS;FCL'X;!!!327598275745####$$$^^^%%%%%!!!!!!!

This is hopeless! I'm supposed to be working but all I can think about is tonight! Went up to the 10th floor at lunch time to have a look at the stadium. Fantastic! All the seats are finally in place and the flags are flying. Off for a coffee to try and calm my nerves!

Right there with you steph, can't do anything except check the latest updates on the internet, quite pathetic really. Stomachs in knots i now have a coffee hangover since I've drank way to much coffee and now it's having a really bad affect on me. I don't know how you can work so close to ground, I would never get any work done (not that I do now anyway) I'd just stand at the window and drool at the magnificance of it.

Unfortunately I can only see the very top of the Leazes from my desk if I stretch my neck! My friend's office is on the 10th floor overlooking all the stadium - don't know how she ever gets any work done!

Not much longer to go, Steph...and you'll be at the Strawbeery with everyone else! It's really too much to expect anyone in Newcastle to actually work on a day like this. It should really be a holiday!
