Purely Belter (2000)

Two broke Tyneside teenagers want Newcastle United season tickets, the tickets cost £1,000, and they have nothing. That is the whole plot of Mark Herman's comedy, and it is enough, because the film understands how a club can be the one thing a kid has to look forward to. Their schemes to raise the money get wilder, Alan Shearer turns up as himself, and the title is Geordie slang for something brilliant. It is rough around the edges and some reviews found it flat in places, but for anyone who grew up priced out of their own team's stadium it hits close to home.
