Story shared by visitors

I bought my dad this brick for his birthday while he was still alive. A lifelong supporter he organised a supporters bus from Ushaw Moor, Brandon for many years. He loved the football club and he’d be so proud with how well they are performing at the moment. He also went through many ups and downs with the club, his story around the 73 cup final was he didn’t get a ticket and had to pay for one from a Newcastle fan. Much loved and never forgotten.
