No, I hadn't been to a game by April 89 and didn't go until the following season.
A bit like AdamYs folks, mine weren't into football and even though my Dad had been promising to take me to a game, he was put off my crowd trouble in the 80s and the fact Newcastle were sh!te.

It was the following October my next door neighbour and his Dad convinced mine to let them take me to a Newcastle game (at home to Bradford).

It was the 86 World Cup that spurred my interest in football and have been to games at all sorts of levels since.
