    I’ve just sorted ours too. I don’t think the hotel have cottoned on yet, I got it almost half the price that I paid in 2017 and it’s an ideal place too.

    My mates in Gosforth will be having the joy of me for a few more nights again next year.

    If we are to have Magic Weekend this is the place to have it. Only Cardiff compares in terms of a compact big city with a stadium in the middle of town. Newcastle is ideal for a concept like Magic Weekend and should never have lost it last year.

    Very odd the reaction to this. I think I've probably seen more people support this decision on Twitter than have attended all the Newcastle Magic weekends altogether. It seems very popular, I might have to go myself, depending on the fixtures. No point going for terrible games like this years Magic.

    I am in a minority I know but I enjoyed Anfield. Good seat in the main stand with Helen Skelton sat next to me for the Leeds game. Very quick easy service from the well staffed bars. Twenty minutes away by train. I must caveat this by saying the upper Anfield Road for the test match held there was not the best experience.

    Just run through some hotel prices for magic weekend, 2 nights £480 and upwards, rip off.

    You don't necessarily need to be near the stadium as it's in the middle of town and near to several Metro stations and Newcastle rail station so you can look a little further afield and still be back in town in 30 minutes. Morpeth is a great little town only 30 minutes away on the train, and places like Cullercoats, Tynemouth etc on the coast are on the Metro straight into the city centre. A city centre hotel is easiest, but if they are all really pricey you can still find good spots out in the surrounding areas.

    Hartlepool for us, same as last time in Newcastle. 2 nights £62 and the pleasure of seeing the locals playing the spoons and banjo's.....unmissable!

    It's about an hours drive from Newcastle. And it's an absolute tip. I once seen a man with no shoes on get arrested for stealing 2 potatoes in the Asda.

    Were they big ones? Maybe he was planning to hollow them out and wear them on his feet.

    Monkey Hangers eh?
    I'm not sure what our lot are doing yet. I might just rock up there!
    We stayed in S.Shields last year and Durham before that. Both fine and not too far away.

    Agree that Durham is a good shout. Stayed there a few years ago, easy on the train, lovely place and a decent night out

    We stayed in Berwick upon Tweed last time it was very good. Express train about 35 minutes if I remember right.

    I've stayed around Newcastle several times in different places, just don't know the network well. I liked Durham so of it's an easy journey in I may look at that

    Fair play. I worked up there for some time on the Heerema Yard AKA the maggot farm. Used to stay in a place called Eaglescliffe just outside of Yarm, that was a nice but even further away. I know some good poolie lads and they're generally a friendly bunch.
