The NY mags

Before the Newton Heath game on Sky, there was an interesting feature on the New York Newcastle fans who came over for the Southampton game that was postponed. Apparently they have been to watch the lads 3 times and every match has been postponed (not sure if this is lucky or unlucky). They came over last week to watch the Arsenal game which was of course postponed. But the club pulled out a few stops and gave them a guided tour of the ground etc and lunch in the posh restaurants. They also went to the Strawberry with the guy who'd given the guided tour.
They finally got to see them play when they went to the Riverside and watched them in training. They also had a bit of banter with Bobby and Shearer. Bobby was admiring the Premier League Trophy (not sure what it was doing at the training ground - do you think NH will notice it's gone missing?) and telling them how when he was at Ipswich he had the FA Cup under his bed!

The club and everyone involved came across quite well and it makes a change to get positive press.

So what's the next game they plan to attend? Just so's the rest of us can make plans for our free weekend. ;-))

Sounds like coventry's making a good fight of it. Or is Heath just making a hash of things? Either way it sounds pretty entertaining on the webcast.
