Its once again a great and exciting time to be following Saints at the moment. Especially now that we have found last seasons form again, and are proceding to whack points on the board at a fantastic rate.

As my son Shaun ( SK Riot ) said to me yesterday " Once Saints start scoring, they never stop " and how true that is. So with all of this in mind I decided to take my girlfriend Sharon to this game with me. She has been before, but not since Saints have this new found determination to batter teams without conceding too many. We decided to again take the scenic route across the M6 and through the lakes, in the gorgeous weather. With a stop off for an ice lolly in a service station overlooking the lakes and mountains it was a lovely sight to behold in the sunshine ( and im not just talking about the ice lolly ). We got there quite early and Sharon decided to get ready early as we were out straight after the game. And you know how long it takes women to get ready!!!!!!!! So that gave me an hour and a half extra to chill out. Then off to the black bull for pre match drinks with the usual crew. Then into the ground for the game which took a while to get going, but when it did , WOW!!!!!!.

After the game it was back to the Park View, to quickly get changed and straight into town, where we had a great night, and met up with a mate from the message boards.Also a bit of food, and a taxi back about 2 in the morning. Then next morning we headed off via knowsley road, back to Newcastle. Again through the M6. And stopped off in Haydon Bridge in Northumberland for a nice stroll via the river.... All romantic stuff, and brownie points for me...After all, she did buy me my season ticket so I had to take her to 1 game!!! ( only kidding hun ) .

A nice weekend and a nice visit to see the worlds number one rugby league team...........
