Nobody likes being ripped off, fans will probably vote with their feet and make it a day trip. l always go for 2,3 days, but thats mainly because l,m visiting UK, but l will stay out of town to avoid the hike in prices. last year went on the Giants trip(Emma and Richard) stayed near Bishop Auckland, good deal, drank in Newcastle at the Irish Community Centre, normal prices, near to stadium.
