Newcastle
England international at St. James' Park.
3 Newcastle Champions League Games
Fair few Newcastle Prem games
A few Newcastle Eagles BBL games
BBL All Star Game
Comical intertwobob cup game (I know it's a very MINOR event, but it was the Newcastle game that ended 4-4 or something, was hilarious)
Darlington vs. Peterborough Div 3 Playoff final at Wembley just before they knocked it down

Not been to much recently. Would like that to change. At some point I want to see the F1 in Monaco but I think I'd need a drastic increase in income before that dream becomes a reality.
