    so, i secretly planned an experience of a lifetime for my little boy for his 8th birthday for the weekend just gone and man, it was incredible!

    he has wanted to go watch Newcastle united play for a few years and i'd told him i'd see if i could get us some tickets!

    he's never been to a proper match and considering we live 386 miles away from Newcastle it wasn't something that can happen every week.

    without him knowing i'd arranged for him to be a mascot for the game, with him getting to meet the whole team and walk out onto the pitch with his heros!

    here's a few videos showing a kind of timeline, the first him reading a fake email i'd asked NUFC to send me stating there were no tickets left for the game.

    second is him getting the tickets at the airport when i'd told him we were going there to go laser shooting with me and my two brothers and the last video is him walking out onto the hallowed turf that is St. James.

    he loved it! other than the result! (we lost 3-1) but i hope he will remember it always

    he has a signed top that i will frame for him!

    i am very proud!

    • Fuck yeah!

      Love that Toon still play Local Hero before the games start - puts a wee shiver down my spine (and I'm no football fan!)
